Egyptian footballer Mohamed Salah just got ridiculed for his “Man of The Year” cover picture on GQ with Alessandra Ambrosio. And as usual, Egyptians had to make fun of the viral photos, taking humour to the next level, especially that Cristiano Ronaldo had a similar shoot with Ambrosio before.
Conservativeness alert!

The humour does not stop there. Fatma and Abdelghafour had to hijack the trend.

They even used an “Omar w Salma” reference, pointing at Cristiano
But then the trend took an offensive turn, objectifying women

It is true that Egyptians love to make a fuss out of potentially provocative topics. We all enjoy it, and that’s fine. But one must also be careful not to push too hard to lose touch of the core of the topic being made fun of. Fellow Egyptians, the sky’s the limit when it comes to your creativity, but make sure it doesn’t interfere in the way of others’ feelings.
