It's not the Pina Colada song

There was a song in the 1970s called Escape, The Pina Colada Song by Rupert Holmes. You all know it if you're 35 or older. Remember it? The song is sung from a guy's perspective. He was bored in his marriage and answered a personal ad in the paper that read:
If you like Pina Coladas, getting caught in the rain, if you're not into yoga ...
You get the idea. Well, this goes on and he responds to the ad and they plan to meet. He gets there and it is his wife. They laugh and realize how much they love each other. Yeah right. Whatever. It makes for a great song and we all like Pina Coladas, right?

Well, in Jordan, a cyber-romance ended up the same way. A separated husband and wife meet unknowingly in a chat room, decide to meet and hubby was none too excited about seeing his wife there. I'm guessing she is probably going to get stoned or set on fire or something for daring to step foot in public. *sigh* Not a happy ending.

Along with this sad story was this picture of two Jordanian women surfing the Internet in a cafe. What do you suppose they look up?
