qatarperegrineA year ago I linked to a blog post by camper, another expat here in Qatar, who discovered that some censor had blacked out all the pictures of Piglet in a Winnie-the-Pooh book at the local bookstore.
You can read that blog post here -- er, if you're not in Qatar, that is. If you live in Qatar, all you can see is the familiar Q-Tel THIS SITE HAS BEEN BLOCKED icon. I just tried to go back to his post so I could cite it in a discussion about Islam and pigs, and... well... apparently Q-Tel is censoring the fact that censorship occurred?
Q-Tel has not blocked camper's blog, just that post. So it's definitely that post they don't want people to see. I'm not sure why, though. Unlike me, camper didn't even make any snide comments about the Piglet-censoring.
