This insane public service announcement is airing on Egyptian state TV — it warns people not to discuss sensitive subjects with strangers (here the stranger is played by an Egyptian but it’s inferred he’s a foreigner). Note the sinister use of mobile phones to spread information, the taboo on discussing the army, etc.

If someone wants to translate it in the comments it’d be great for non-Arabic speaking readers (I don’t have time unfortunately). (Update: I was sent a version with subtitles, now above.)

Update: good commentary here.
