A reading from my c-blog sidebar alone, none of you may have known that I used to live in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Im not Arab in any way, cept maybe my bad driving (Fuck you if you disagree, I lived there and they sucked at driving I almost died many times). Growing up there, I was exposed to all kinds of imported goods due to the ports being open to any kind of item that wasnt drugs, pork products, booze or porn (Which were all illegal in that country). Needless to say, I grew up with pirated goods from clothes to games but that is a story for another day.

Above is a picture from Kotaku displaying a Half-Life Coffee shop. I can tell you that the existance of this very likely and that this isnt a shoop. Saudi Arabia has lousy copyright enforcement with the government officials more concerned over oil money and religious observance (I was arrested once for having burned music CDs which they thought was porn).
In my years of living there I've seen countless ripping off of stuff, one company even used the character design styles of South Park to sell potato chips. Logo styles of recognizable western companies skewed to sell their own products was a familiar sight and this one here is one of them.
