It may have only been up since December, but the success of YouTube video <i>Rubbish Girls Say</i> (it's not actually "rubbish", but just go with us on this one), has already spawned a few parodies, one in particular being <i>Rubbish White Girls Say... To Arab Girls</i> . We live in a world where fame is just a few (million) mouse clicks away and the parody, once an honour bestowed only on established figures with decades of material behind them, is now paraded on the internet by teenagers with a Macbook within minutes. Since it landed on YouTube in December, the video <i>Rubbish Girls Say</i> (again, it's not "rubbish" but we're just protecting your sensitive eyes) has notched up more than 9 million hits, with its hilarious and often piercingly accurate capturing of the nonsense that can fall out of particularly dim-witted girls' mouths. And yes, I am a writing as a man so feel free to unleash the hounds. "Is that lip balm?" "Is that my water?" "That is so true." "Does this taste funny to you?" "Ice cream makes me cough" "I'm just, like, [long pause leading to nothing]" I'm sure many of us, at some point, have heard these gems. But now, a parody entitled <i> Rubbish White Girls Say... To Arabs</i> has been uploaded and while it might not have gathered the same momentum as the first (just 40,000 hits in two days), there are a couple of amusing - if slightly American - moments. "Do you bellydance?" "Are you sure you're Arab, you're not wearing a headscarf?" "I know a lot about the Middle East, I've seen Aladdin, like, 100 times." It's doesn't quite capture the same brilliance of the original (which had a guy with a wig on speaking, rather than an actual girl - boring!), but it's a nice try. Here's the . I'd like to suggest a couple of new ideas. "Rubbish Western Expats Say to UAE Taxi Drivers When Trying to Give Directions" and "Rubbish People First Ask Western Expats When They Say They Live in the Middle East".
