There are some unusual prohibitions in advertising in the Muslim world. We had a post about some of them: Oldie of the Day: Censorship in Saudi Arabia (10 pics). They are based on the national and religious peculiarities of Islamic countries.

Any advertising including logos that appear in Arabic-speaking countries should be forcibly adapted to the local cultural values and the Arabic language.

Saudi Arabian versions of Mariah Carey's album covers have been retouched to be less sexy.

Some say it’s fake as the source of these pics is not clear and they could have been created by any photoshopper… So if you’ve got some info about these modified album covers, don’t hesitate to share it..

Here are some examples of unnecessary censorship, which makes these photos hilarious.

In an attempt not to offend today’s youth, a famous photo of Winston Churchill has been airbrushed to get rid of his cigar.

Well, this is nothing less than a useless modern censorship, but is that it? Do we have to fear more of this censorship?

Well, maybe…
