No, this is not The Onion website. Reportedly Omar Borkan Al Gala and two other attractive men were deported by Saudi Arabia because they were too handsome and debauchery would ensue.
Telegraph reports the men were delegates of the United Arab Emirates for the Jenadrivah Heritage and Cultural Festival. They attracted more than just the ladies it seems.
In another bizarre enforcement action by the Commission for Virtue and the Prevention of Vices they were cast off due to their fearsomely attractive looks. A festival official said the three Emiratis were taken out on the grounds they are too handsome and that the Commission members feared female visitors could fall for them.
The UAE released an official statement indicating that the religious police were anxious over the unexpected presence of an unnamed female artist in the pavilion.
“Her visit to the UAE stand was a coincidence as it was not included in the program which we had already provided to the festival’s management,” Saeed Al Kaabi, head of the UAE delegation to the festival, said in a statement.
Due to this unspeakable condition, the three were swiftly deported, restoring normalcy to the virtuous.
The commission certainly had it on good authority that attractive men can sweep women away, to be corrupted by the unscrupulous, and partaking in morally unsound pleasures.
Afterward, they surely would be cast aside by these men, forcing otherwise virtuous women to live forever-after in shame as spinsters, fallen from grace and outcast from polite society.

Oh boy… Tells us a lot.
Thanks bettykath. Maybe Paul is right that the helmet is hiding too much!
Byron,
I do not think that Robert Redford, George Clooney and various other good looking men look like women. Are they just exceptions to your rule?

Not really, but it’s not surprising that he’s try to spin it in his favor.
anon – well, I have admitted that I do not know. So, please explain it oh wise one.
anon – you do realize we cannot figure out which of many any particular comment is. Just cut-and-paste the comment.
Coming from you Paul, they do.
