Assad's propaganda minister defected and gives some interesting insight.

He specifically talks about the spin he was required to put on bombings to make it look like it was terrorism.

<t>Really? The puppet show is a satire about Assad. It is a bunch of artists trying to use non-violent means to protest. That kind of thing doesn't happen where a "terrorist" group has swept in and manufactured discontent. The puppets show is entirely about the discontent of real people for real rea...

When someone hears you're bi they generally think you have relationships with guys and occasionally "make out" with women. lol

A woman being bi doesn't change people's opinion of you until they find out you actually have a monogamous relationship with a woman.
