Racy Clothing Could Result in Jail Time in Dubai

While visiting Dubai, a Lebanese man drew a lot of attention to himself for his clothing choice. The man was spotted wearing a t-shirt designed by Marc Jacobs that showed a nude picture of Victoria Beckham and read "Protect the Skin You're In", which was part of a campaign in 2008 to draw awareness to cancer. While the man failed to draw awareness to cancer as the shirt was intended to do, he did draw attention to the Dubai police, as he was arrested for wearing the inappropriate shirt. The man was then sentenced to one month of prison.

Dubai obviously has different norms, rules, and expectations than America does. Compared to some of the clothes I see people wearing on a daily basis here, that shirt was rated PG! The people of Dubai have obviously never walked into an American Spencer's store...
