When art director-turned-singer Tameem Youness released his new music video, "Salmonella," on YouTube Jan. 1, little did he know he was about to open a Pandora's Box.
The satirical video sparked wide controversy on Egyptian social media networks. Fans hailed it as "creative," "empowering" and "a genius work of art that accurately depicts sexist behavior and attitudes," while critics including women's rights advocates deemed it "harmful" and "inciting violence against women."
