Filipino faces jail and deportation from Dubai for 'Kiss My Ass' sticker

A Filipino is facing jail and deportation from Dubai after he was charged with breaching public decency for pasting a lewd sticker on his car windshield.
The dispute is a "kiss my ass" sticker, which the Filipino pasted on his vehicle windshield.
The defendant refused to remove the controversial sticker after he was reported to the police by an Arab witness who spotted the sticker on the suspect's car in a gas station.
The 30-year-old Filipino computer programmer was embroiled in a series of court cases in which a small fine slapped on him by a local court was overturned in favor of a one-month jail sentence and deportation.
"The Appeals Court considered that 'ass' meant 'posterior' and tried our client as if he committed a lewd act in public without supplying any translation. Meanwhile, the word 'ass' has different meanings, according to English dictionaries, such as donkey, dumb, stubborn or to ridicule someone," al-Kabban maintained.
