When I opened Friday’s AlQabas, the first thing my eyes jumped to was this picture in the front page -

You may have seen this before somewhere, it was a logo started by BoJaij in his blog following this post earlier on this blog. BoJaij took the idea a step further and proposed a campaign against such shows and designed this logo -

Many other blogs have joined in this online campaign, some of the ones I can remember are Kuwait Unplugged, Mahmood’s Den, Kuwaiti Demon, MadM2000, and Ayya! If I forgot to mention any blogs, please fogive me.

Anyway, it felt really good seeing that in the front page of the newspaper, and then reading what they said inside, which was basically everything covered in the blogs!

So it seems we do have a voice here in our blogosphere! Previously, individual blogs were mentioned as a reference from certain writers such as Abdullateef AlDuaij when writing about a certain topic, which was great! But this is definitely a step further, this is a message that started online, and has reached the mainstream through one of the most popular newspapers, and on the front page!

Personally, I think that even though this is a small step for an issue that will not affect the future of the country, it is a great accomplishment to blogs and bloggers involved who either joined in the campaign or posted supportive comments!

Who knows how strong the blogs’ voice and effect will be in the future! This really is a very interesting subject, and seeing it in action makes it more interesting!

Everyone should be proud of what they did and of course a special thanks to BoJaij for his design and push for this campaign!
