Death to America!

By AuthorIssandr El Amrani |
Funny YouTube parody of an English-language Al Jazeera, where every other sentence is "Death to America!" Quite relevant since the real Al Jazeera International should be launched quite soon. A lot of people on the YouTube comments thread found it racist, but I think it's rather a clever play on perceptions of Al Jazeera.

Ehhh...it's funny, but most Americans watching it would not see it as clever or ironic, they would see it as a confirmation of their stereotypes about Arabs and Muslims and Al Jazeera as "Jihad TV."

Did that air on Fox? I saw a Fox logo on the bottom right corner.

Yeah, I saw that after I posted. Must be a comedy show. Well, I'll bare it if since they gave us The Simpsons.
