The Banning of Red

[Gary R. Bell]

The Saudi royal government has declared St. Valentines Day an immoral holiday and has banned all red roses and red products until after February 14th. The acting agency enforcing the edict is the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice.

Hear ye, all ye optometrists in Saudi Arabia! There will be no red/green glasses and no Red Lens tests in the Kingdom until after Feb. 14th! The use of "gets the red out" eye drops will also be mandatory.
