The Arab News has a report that a main from the Saudi Arabian town of Hail made the mistake of bowing down, falling prostrate as the News called it, in front of a presumably female dancer last year.
Some busybody at the event took a picture the man bowing with a cell phone camera, posted it on a web site, and the efficient yet brutal Saudi system got into motion.
The sentence for the man? 500 lashes in public and six months in jail.
What a country!
