Saudi teen arrested for flirting online

Californian internet personality Christina Crockett struck up an unlikely friendship with Saudi Arabian teenager Abu Sin when they met by chance on a video chat site.

Although they understood little of what the other was saying, videos of their attempts to communicate became an internet hit. But the Saudi authorities were less than impressed and now Abu Sin could face years behind bars. [BBC]

Brit: In olden days when the internet was not around, body language was not doubt the most effective way of sending love signals. The wink, the flying kiss, and the meaningful smile in return --- all of them worked wonderfully well, and I am talking from experience.

WT: My Cuban Shotputter and I used body language and braile to communicate with each other most of the time.

I rememebr reading this news.. I believe that he was arrested for going against the cultural norms of the society.
