Only in America: A technical glitch briefly replaced cable TV channels
in Detroit with an Arabic-language soap opera from a channel catering to Detroit's Arab-American community. Consequently, thousands of subscribers
panicked, thinking that terrorists had hacked into the system.
"It's a sad sign of the times that Arab-language programming should create such fear," Black says.
(After all, only a supervillain like Osama Bin Laden or Saddam Hussein would
stoop to such a dastardly act as targeting decent Americans' cable TV.)
