Spiderman, Spiderman

If you live in Dubai, you can get Spiderman to clean your windows.
There's a cleaning company here in Dubai that will send a man dressed in a Spiderman outfit to clean your windows. I'd be more excited if it was Spider Pig

International Kermit:
As Sesame Street is localized for some different markets that speak languages other than English, Kermit is often renamed. In Portugal, he's Cocas, o Sapo (sapo means toad). In Latin America, his name is la rana René (René the Frog). In Spain, Kermit is named Gustavo. In France and the Canadian province of Quebec, he is known as Kermit la grenouille. In Brazil, his name is Caco, o Sapo. In the Arabic Middle Eastern version, he's known as Kamel, which is a common Arabic male name that means "perfect". In Hungary he is called Breki. In Turkey, although he's known by his real name, Kermit in The Muppet Show, in Sesame Street he was named as "Kurbağacık" (Little Frog).
