No Shame II

In an effort to be recognised by the media in the midst of football fever, the Kuwait National Football Team made headlines in Egypt:

Footballers ‘detained’


: Some players of the Kuwait national soccer team were forced to pay the bill at a disco club in Cairo, reports Al-Shahed daily.

According to reports the players were trying to sneak out of the club without paying the bill and when the staff failed to get the money from the visitors the guards of the club intervened.

This is the problem with "celebrities", they are unaware that their status comes with a responsibility. This goes to feed the popular Gulf stereotype in Cairo, they are there to enjoy the many "taboo's" that Egypt has to offer, and albeit being super-spend-thrifts in certain areas such as food and gifts, they pull similar stunts as this.

For shame.
