Whow, I watched that video and I have to say that it is impressive..

Never even thought about if they have TV-stations at all, even less if they have humor with political satire on their TV-networks.. As I said: Impressive..

And I think ultimatly, it's a good thing because if you can make fun of something and everybody laugh at it, everybody feels better and more positive about it.. Like the political joke they did about democracy comming to the middle-east and how it was impossible for the genie to make it happend.. Or that they made fun of George Bush, also a good thing, we should all laugh at him..

Hope they keep it up and expand it! Might be a solution to the racism and discrimination they have down there, not to mention the fighting everybody seems to be doing..
