An interesting piece here about the spread of television in Afghanistan. An angle, merely by the way, on identity:
"We've just bought the rights to '24,' the American show... We had some concerns. Most of the bad guys are Muslims, but we did focus groups and it turns out most people didn't care about that so long as the villains weren't Afghans."There have been complaints from Afghan politicians for being shown on TV in an unflattering light. And don't miss the slideshow. (Thanks: SC.)
