Guess there’s no VibeTonez in certain parts of Pakistan. A recent crackdown by the Taliban in Pakistan’s tribal regions means that, among other things, men must grow traditional Islamic beards and music must not be played in vehicles or on cellphones. While I’m no moral or cultural relativist, at least people living in the affected areas won’t have to put up with the new Madonna single every time someone gets a call.
