No roses for you, friend

Aadisht writes about the ban on red roses in Saudi Arabia ahead of Valentine’s Day, also commenting on the ban of taking dogs around for a walk. (Yeah you read that right :D):

Anyway. As evil organisations which nevertheless have really cool names go, the Ministry for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice (according to Wikipedia, a more accurate translation is Committee for Propagation of Virtue and Prevention of Vice) is right up there on both counts, scoring high on both evil activities and cool names.
