totalitarianism: now with sexy!

Omar Borkan Al Gala

Because it’s fun! *sob*

Hey girl, I’m the guy who was deported for being too handsome

Ladies, say hello to Omar Borkan Al Gala. Or just make whatever sound you can after being completely overwhelmed by his handsomeness. The Dubai-based actor, photographer and poet (SWOON!) was one of the three men who were deported from Saudi Arabia because authorities deemed them “too handsome” and worried that women would lose their minds, tear their clothing off and throw themselves at their feet.

From MSNBC Now, which as far as I can determine, is all about the funky side of Teh News. Hey, if you can’t meme-ify total crushing oppression and institutional sexual panic, the terrorists have already won!

share and enjoy

Looks like a self satisfied gimp to me, but whatever lights your candle. Looks like a business opportunity going in Saudi though – designing the the manburka!

He looks fake to me. And also way too young to be interesting.
