Pretty good Photoshop job.
my first thought.. lol
I was looking at the Saudi Catalogue a week before it became viral and everyone talked about it,I was confused why they didn’t put women on it but then I saw other countries version and noticed that it’s only in the Saudi version.
well thats actually something good
Women their must be like some sort of nuclear weapon that is must kept in hiding…even in pages. I wonder when they will split cities and make a city for men and a city for women. Or maybe they’ll do two countries. Saudi male-abia and Saudi female-abia. At-least like that women there can breath in comfort or something.
They should ban internet also since people can surf to look at actresses or other unspeakable things and also ban TV’s while they are at it since they can watch movies which also have females as well as in TV series.
No offence to anyone who is Saudi but come on, really? Mind boggling.
There*
DISGRACEFUL.
Saudi is basically announcing that the people there is getting the catalog to masterbate on! hooray! they’ve reached the deepest level of ignorance!
you’re in luck if you like men or kids.
Censorship, although I see no point in the censorship of the photo above. I remember when buying an inflatable pool they had the cleavage of the women covered up with black markers @Sultan Center Kuwait.
Just checked both Kuwait and KSA’s catalogs. Pretty much every single woman has been photoshopped. Other pages have been removed entirely.
seriously? checking the kuwait catalogue now.
just checked women are in the kuwait version.
My bad, I worded it wrong. I was comparing KSA’s version with Kuwait to see which were pics removed. Nothing was removed from Kuwait’s catalog.
Yeah nothing was removed from Kuwait’s catalog obviously.
Dubai for the win. *Dances*
What century are we living in again?
hahah hilarious
In Kuwait we only photoshop the ‘$’ sign on all catalogs and replace with ‘KD’.
If you need photoshop to do that you are doing it wrong
I dont see why it’s a big deal..women or no women it’s not really a playboy.
“Dear Victoria’s Secret,
Why do your catalogues have images of wgite wings floating mid air?
Yours Sincerely,
Generic Saudi name
I bet their Victoria’s Secret catalogs are just blank pages.

Saudi Arabia is a joke lol. I’m glad I’m Kuwaiti.

It’s hard to ignore that the one who removed the woman on the scene is really good in Photoshop… 🙂
