now playing: Tool - Vicarious
In a momentous move surely to confound academics and scholars for centuries, the United Arab Emirates' internet service provider, Etisalat, has unblocked a number of hugely popular websites including youtube.com, myspace.com, flickr.com, and hi5.com. Yes, that's right, us expats in Dubai are again free to browse online cultural gems such as Borat's official response to the Kazakhstan government's threat to sue over the new Borat movie and Paris Hilton's Myspace profile.

With the removal of these cultural shackles, it's only a matter of time until the hit single "Stars are Blind" will finally achieve its rightful place in Dubai Eye Radio's Top Ten.
