My kids wanted to watch MBC3 yesterday . They were annoyed to see that there are no cartoons at all . The Crown prince of Saudi Arabia died - there are programs commemorating him .( we have always thought that MBC3 is coming from Dubai )
Seeing their annoyed faces I remembered that it was the same in Hungary some twenty years ago when Hungary's prime minister died suddenly . He was not popular for everyone - so many parents were upset when the usual Sunday afternoon cartoon was stopped in the middle of the story and sad music came for an hour without any explanation .At least they should have warned the parents that not to expect cartoons that day at all .
I am sometimes really surprised on how much people love the rulers of their country . Once I was working as a tour guide with a group of Belgian tourists .I eventually mentioned them that their king died that morning . I was very sure that they had already heard about it . Unfortunately they learnt it from me .They became deeply saddened /some of them even cried . The cheerful trip was over everybody - with no exception went into terribly sad mood .Like they lost a close friend or family member .
