Flo was smitten with him because he would buy her anything she wanted, plus he had a car phone and his own plane. Alice found out he had a harem of wives, so she tried to stop Flo from making a big mistake by marrying him. Overall, the episode was funny, but there seemed to be a lot of Arab stereotypes used.

Ok, thanx. Yeah most definitely, if this was shown today the Arab community would have a field day. :crazy: TALLguyinKY 05-29-2007, 10:23 PM When it comes to stereotypes, I've always wondered what Indians think of Apu on "The Simpsons"?
