YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE EAST WHEN...

...you open up a widely read magazine, and inside is an ad for Virgin Megastore that touts the best selling items from last month, and in at number four in the book category is Mein Kampf, by Adolf Hitler. In any context, a strange choice for a print ad for a multi-national franchise. So if we can learn anything from this list, parent's in Amman are putting on Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince for the kids and retiring to their quarters to read Mein Kampf, or the number one best seller, translated That's What Happened Sadam, a book written by Sadam Hussein's lawyer documenting his inhumane treatment while imprisoned by the USA.
