Raif Badawi is a popular blogger in Saudi Arabia who was recently sentenced to 1000 lashes for insulting Islam. A stranger takes him outside each day and whips him 50 times near a mosque as punishment for speaking his mind. As tragic as this unjust court ruling may be, I just can’t help but notice that it has given birth to one of the strangest sounding job titles in the history of mankind. I challenge anyone out there to name a more ridiculous sounding job position than that of a “blogger flogger”.
Okay, so I wasn’t expecting it…and it was funny.
