Just what the world needs…

…more hot air!

Queen “the Middle East contains both challenges and possibilities” Rania aka Queen “Don’t drink and drive” Rania aka Queen “Killing kittens is mean” Rania is becoming a Vlogger on YouTube and they are even featuring her first video (which they wouldn’t do if she wasn’t a queen) - it’s called “Send me your stereotypes“. As if she could afford to have any more stereotypes. Where is she going to store them? In her cupboard? No, it’s already full of stereotypes. In her wardrobe? No, it’s already full of stereotypes. In her speeches? No, they’re…

And this is her profile text:

Queen Rania has played a significant role in reaching out to the global community to foster values of tolerance and acceptance, and increase cross-cultural dialogue.

Regionally and internationally, Queen Rania has campaigned for a greater understanding between cultures in such high profile forums as the Jeddah Economic Forum, the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, and the Skoll Foundation in the UK.

We hope to bring you some of these clips soon, but until then, Queen Rania wants you to join in this conversation to bring down stereotypes and build bridges between our virtual East-West communities.

*Now* I feel like I really know her.

The king of Saudi Arabia is calling for religious tolerance, Tony Blair becomes Middle East envoy, half the US Republicans are homosexuals, the queen of Jordan is calling for less stereotypes - I look through through my newsfeeds and feel like I’m living in some kind of grotesque caricature.
