VCD attack
Kabul picture - Seller of Afghan VCD'S. The majority of these are tacky movies, or home made camcorder shows of women dancing in exotic style. We were never sure if these were Afghan or from countries Kyrgistan and Turkmenistan. Such dancing VCD's are now on display in most Chaikhanas (when in Taliban era any TV was banned) where the men watch with mouths agape at quite frankly, what we considered to be overweight and quite ugly looking women, dancing to traditional music. Most seemed like family get togethers where occasionally Uncle Ahmed would stumble past the camera by accident.
