VIOLENCE in cartoons is causing children to drop massive anvils on each others' heads, stockpile TNT or mess around with huge magnets, a new report has warned.

The study also recommends the Acme corporation withdraws a number of products from sale immediately, including its big round black bombs with BOMB written on them and long rope fuses that go out a lot.

Huda Al Kuwari, of Qatar University, said: "Our research shows a worrying increase in children trying to ambush each other with elaborate traps involving boulders, detonators and seige catapults.

"These invariably backfire, leaving the children with concertina-ed bodies, singed fur or squashed flat as a pancake for a few seconds before they scuttle off on their now-stunted legs, which make a strange tinkly sound."

An exclusive interview with Qatar University president Dr. Sheikha Al-Misnad to Al-Arab newspaper have created a new controversy among many local bloggers & newspaper columnists. Many speculation is flowing about the role of that RAND corporation plays on the recent Qatar university reforms. Many locals have outspoken about QU reforms and some considered it as an attempt to westernize the local eduction!!!
Dr Almisnad responded in her interview "
The presence of opponents of the reforms is expected , and they need time to understand the change and accept it"

What i don't really get, why are many locals against any sort of reform?Is there really a hidden agenda about the RAND initiative?
