Flock to Riyadh? From where, England?? Do they drive?

You know that story in the news recently, about Facebook marking satirical news stories as such?

I see the reason now.

Think you need a whoosh mate.

Daily Mash is not a real news site.

The Daily Mash is a well known spoof news website. The material they produce is often very funny and this story is typical of the sort of thing they write that raises a smile in me.

This story is a reversal of all the Arabs who drive round and round London in supercars looking for attention from the public and anorak photographers.

If you have to explain it - the joke is gone unfortunately.

Is this after the (generally American) outrage at that photo of Steven Spielberg posing next to the Triceratops he shot and killed?

Not sure what's funnier, the article or this.

Would you need to be, after reading the article? "Meanwhile, the Saudi authorities warned that the city is not to be used as a private racetrack, after a late-night contest between a Honda Civic and a 1992 Ford Scorpio reached speeds of up to 51 mph." pffft.
