57 Women Stoned To Death During Annual Riyadh Fashion Week
RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA—With local organizers and attendees hailing the event as a “major success,” the Saudi Arabian capital Riyadh wrapped up its 10th annual fashion week Friday, a star-studded international showcase of the latest trends during which 57 women were pelted to death by stones.
The glamorous high-fashion event, which debuted the fall couture collections of Calvin Klein, Diane Von Furstenberg, and Anna Sui among others, took place over seven days in the city’s upscale Olaya district and claimed the lives of dozens of models, assistants, and designers, as well as 19 female audience members whose outfits exposed parts of their bodies other than their eyes or hands.
“Riyadh Fashion Week is the place to be to check out the newest styles and kill the women wearing them,” said local fruit seller Salman Awad, who claimed that this was his favorite of the six Fashion Weeks he’s attended, as he was able to take out the eye of a model wearing a brocade tunic at Tuesday’s Vivienne Tam show. “My friends and I made sure to line up outside the tents before dawn to get good seats close to the front. It’s a lot easier to hit them in the head that way.”
Fashion Week organizers confirmed that this year’s turnout was the highest in the event’s history, attracting thousands of eager stone-wielding visitors from all over the Middle East. According to event staff, every runway show was standing room only, with fashion industry elites and celebrities rubbing elbows at top designers’ collection debuts and glitzy brand-sponsored after-parties alongside Saudi locals demanding to know which, if any, of the women had received permission to be there from either their husbands or a male member of their family.

I know it's from the Onion, stupid. I created the Tiny URL. There was nothing investigative about it. It's really interesting that you assume that the people who frequent My Mountain Town are as stupid as you are. You obviously have a rather low opinion of the users of this website.

No, I don't have a low opinion of the users of this website. My opinion of you is quite obvious, I just don't say it out loud very often. I guess I will change my name so that it is Revelant to the conversation

The name is spelled the way I wanted it (just to annoy idiots like you). And it's a real last name and a real word (to reveal - Medieval Latin relevāns). Look it up. And I couldn't give a rats ass about your opinion of me. It doesn't effect squat.
Obviously I can reveal your true nature. Sour jackass.

I'm going to see how many times stupid goes back and forth until it realizes that revelant is a French word. I don't think there is any rules about using French words on MMT?
The Onion has the wrong location, and wrong date. You'll notice that all the males in the image are wearing the ihram (plain white cloth). Most have also shaved their heads. This image was therefore originally a scene from the Haj (pilgrimage). More specifically it is from the stoning of the devil, which takes place in the city of Mina (western side of Saudi Arabia - near Red Sea). The photo was likely taken in October.
The size of the rocks being thrown dates this photo from pre-1990s. Hajj organizers noticed that when pilgrims over-threw their stones - they occasionally caused injury. Seeing this, they have since revised the size of the stones allowed (now more like pebbles) at the pillars.
The photoshopped image is also likely pirated, as I seriously doubt that a Muslim that has performed the Hajj would mock it by super-imposing an image of fashion models over the image of a pillar.

Hey dips***, do you have to follow this link too in order to see if it is a hoax or not?
"SOCHI, RUSSIA—In a race against time, local emergency crews reportedly rushed to rescue Italian figure skater Carolina Kostner Wednesday after the Olympian plunged through a hazardous thin patch of ice during her short program at the Iceberg Skating Palace. “Unfortunately she skated way out into the middle of the rink where the ice was weak and it collapsed instantly when she landed her triple axel,” said rescue worker Ignativ Barkov, adding that Kostner ignored the sounds of cracking ice while performing an otherwise flawless step sequence and combination spin. “We have to act fast or she’ll succumb to hypothermia. Granted, a world-class athlete like Kostner can withstand the initial shock for a few minutes, but her thin, sparkly leotard will do little to protect her from the deep and frigid water below the ice.” At press time,"...
