What the DUB did you say?

So i grew up in another country, Saudi Arabia, until i was a teenager, this was from 1983-1995. A lot of programs that were available in the US were initially banned from Saudi television. Most shows recognized with Western culture were carefully monitored because they didn't want Saudi culture to be influenced by western civilization. There were other ways around things like that though. If you could afford it, which most ex pats(people who live and work in another country solely for job purposes) that did not live in a compound could afford it, they bought a satellite dish. Not the small dinky dishes you see for direct TV. These dishes were almost 15ft in diameter and you needed a huge flat top roof to place it on. These dishes were also banned in Saudi when i was living there. It was not strictly enforced but we did have radical extremist religious police we called Matawa that roamed the streets in search of perpetrators that violated laws against religion and that looked for dishes. Any factors that would influence violations such as western television was banned. The quickest fix to this was to build a frame around your satellite and hide the entire dish  by covering the frame with white sheets. If they couldn't see a dish they weren't allowed to inspect whatever was on your roof. If they did allow certain shows or movies to air, sometimes the scenes were deleted due to sexual content or nudity. A lot of the movies lost meaning through this. Or they would be dubbed in Arabic or subtitled wrong. Sometimes during movies here that contain arabic, i understand what they are saying but that's not what the subtitles suggested because a lot of meaning is lost in translation.
