Egyptian emo/goth shocker: New developments.
Up to 10,000 Egyptians were members of emo-related Facebook groups, we were informed; all were adherents to a western cult which glorified homosexuality and threatened to undermine Islam. Discerning readers were offered tips for identifying emos: they were “driven by punk and emotion”, wore “guyliner” and “manscarer” and were to be found “loitering in streets … often dismal and in tears”.
(I love it when I get to use the word “shock” in a headline.)

My bro-in-law’s fiancee is one of these emo Egyptians. Can’t say I’ve ever heard her plotting the downfall of the government.
In terms of enforcing a single iron-clad social norm, Egypt makes the USSR look like a production of Up With People.
