Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood MP sparks fury by asking female journalist if her questions would be 'as hot as she is'

A top Egyptian politician has sparked outrage by cheekily asking a journalist live on air if her questions would be 'as hot as she is'.
Minister of Information Salah Abdel Maksud was caught on camera asking Dubai TV news show host Zeina Yazjy the 'inappropriate inquiry' during an interview last week.
He said: 'I hope your questions won't be as hot as you.'

Furore: Egyptian Minister of Information Salah Abdel Maksud sparked outrage after he told Dubai TV news show host Zeina Yazjy  'I hope your questions won't be as hot as you'
 
Without hesitating, and retaining her calm, she replied with a smirk by saying: 'My questions may be hot but I am the opposite, I'm very cold.'
 

The interview then continued, reported Spanish newspaper ABC.
Maksud is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, the political and religious party currently in power under President Mohamed Mursi.

Hundreds of Egyptians took to Twitter to condemn the right-wing politician's comment, which they deemed 'inappropriate' and 'out of place'.
Many said it was 'hypocritical', seeing as his Islamist-dominated government last month lifted a ban on female news presenters in Egypt wearing a veil.
The ban, enforced by state television for the half century it has been in existence, ended when Fatma Nabil read out the headlines wearing a cream-coloured headscarf and a dark suit.

Wrinkly, knobbly, saggy - meet the celebs going weak at the knees!

She may still have the glossy mane, tiny waist and toned arms of a woman ten years her junior, but there was one body part that let down Catherine Zeta-Jones when she appeared on the red carpet this week — her saggy knees. The 42-year-old’s knee wrinkles — or ‘kninkles’ as they have been dubbed — blighted her otherwise perfect pins, and proved that even Hollywood stars can’t avoid the dreaded crinkling, pouching and sagging of the knee area which starts when women hit 40. ‘As we age, the collagen beneath the skin’s surface breaks down, which causes sagging — and the force of gravity above the knees, plus the extra skin that allows us to stretch and bend our legs, makes this area more noticeable than most,’ says Dr Dirk Kremer, cosmetic surgeon at Harley Street Aesthetics. And staying slim won’t help when it comes to kninkles. ‘In slimmer women, the lack of fat holding up the skin above the knee means even more sagging,’ says Dr Kr...

Naw, mom, I didn't want a shower! Baby bear is soaked to the skin as its mother shakes herself off after a fishing trip

No baby likes a bath or shower, and this bear cub was particularly disgruntled at being soaked with freezing water when its mother shook her fur after a swim. Returning from an unsuccessful salmon fishing trip at a Russian lake, the disappointed adult bear decided to give her brood an ice-cold shower. She looks as though she is cheering herself up immensely by vigorously shaking out her fur all over her offspring. Tumble dry: Mother bear gives her protesting infant a shower by shaking off her fur after a swim No dinner today: The adult bear had just been on a unsuccessful fishing trip in the lake in far east Russia The two unimpressed children try their best to roll out of the way of the chilly droplets flying all over them.   Their tiny paws are useless in the battle with their powerful mother, however.
