Guinness for (non-Muslim) Strength!

August 31, 2009

sorry, no caption

A concert by Black Eyed Peas to be held in September in Kuala Lumpur will be sponsored by Guinness.  The significance?  Such marketing is generally disallowed by the Malaysian government due to its prohibition of sponsorship by alcohol-making companies within the country.  The catch?  Malaysian Muslims, roughly 60% of the country, have been barred from attending the concert.  Non-Muslim citizens over 18 and over, heard recently to be chanting "Erin Go Bragh", have been encouraged to attend.
