Achmed the Terrorist

POSTED BY Raleigh-Elizabeth Smith, 22 May 2008

Are we so scared of muslim people that we have to put a puppet in a turban and give him a funny accent?

A video challenge from MobLogic.tv.

    I saw the video and I thought it was-- funny. Good old fashioned humor. Slap-stick stupid and silly. Is it low-class and in poor taste to laugh at ethnic and cultural stereotypes? Yes. But, people have the right to laugh at whatever they find funny. Remember the cartoon of Muhammad with a bomb for a turban?

    I usually like Moblogic's videos and commentary, but this one is a bit paranoid, I think. Sometimes a joke is just a joke. They may as well make a fuss about The Simpsons for cruelly portraying all Americans as fat and stupid. They don't, because it is obviously satire, just like Achmed the Terrorist is satire.
