The most exciting offers were high-end electronic gear from a joint marketing effort between New York University – the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia and Brookstone. The offerings were beyond the boys expectations:
- A rock pulling cart, complete with LED lights for night time stonings
- A hand massager for relaxing the hands after a full day of rock throwing
- A hand sized electric lighter, ideal for igniting Molotov cocktails on the go
- Earplugs connected to mosque loudspeakers, in case 120 decibels wasn’t enough to wake you up for morning prayers
The boys thought that they were done going through all of the advertisements when the older Ahmed found a small ad printed on thick cardboard stock. This insert was sponsored by the Qatari government. They offered $1,000 for anyone who died killing a Jew.
“That stinks,” said Ahmed. “Saudi Arabia and Iraq used to give us a heck of a lot more!”
“Well,” answered Mohammed, “they gave that money after the fact, when they knew how much it would cost them. At this point, Qatar isn’t sure how many people will sign up.”
Ahmed laughed and patted his younger brother on the shoulder. “You make an excellent point!” Mohammed beamed.
“So what do you think of this year’s offerings?” Ahmed continued.
“I like the model train set which you can blow up,” he replied. “But I think it’s too expensive for Abi (father).”
“Oh, no, he can afford it,” answered Ahmed. “He just won’t go to such an expense without actually killing any Jews.”
Mohammed let out a huge laugh as he thought, this is going to be the best season ever.
