'Sex and the City' movie may be too racy for one city - CNN.com

Define Irony.

An expert says that Sex and the City II (A movie I intend to somehow fail to see) will do for Abu Dhabi what Lord of the Rings did for New Zealand.

Exceeeeept:

Lord of the Rings was actually shot in New Zealand, which doubled for Middle Earth, whereas this movie is set in what's supposed to be Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, but actually is Morocco!

Curiously enough, Morocco's doubled for a great many dry, dusty Arab countries, especially with movies that deal in controversial issues.

One would think that Morocco should see the benefit of all their hard work at making their country a good location for movies, no?
