- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -0/+53They watch it for the same reason I watch Jon Stewart here in America.. the ability to laugh off the depressing reality of a country under seige from a rogue government.
- KiTchMe, on 10/12/2007, -2/+45Now, finally, some results in Iraq - Americanization.
- Whosawhatsis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+41I thought that was how you magically received more sheep...
- ray023, on 10/12/2007, -1/+40Don't worry. I'm sure we will soon see a plethora of "Iraqi Daily Show" clips in the video section of Digg.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+36needs a youtube link, with subtitles...
- 4Prophecy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+36I hope so! ;)
- DisposableRob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+31"Well, Iraq is a technologically stagnant third world country, so you wouldn't think they'd have (or care for) such things."
They have shopping malls and like watching sports and movies and listening to tapes and CDs. Sure, Iraqi nerds aren't arguing about the latest hi-def consoles, but they aren't a bunch of farmers living in caves either. - Elektriq, on 10/12/2007, -0/+29Any video?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+33Step 1 - Liberate
Step 2 - Create Satircal Show and Death Squads
Step 3-
Step 4- PROFIT! - ajamer, on 10/12/2007, -5/+32Now, instead of Saddam's, they get to fear the Sunni/Shiite death squads!
PROGRESS! - bloqmon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24You guys need to get out of the country more. Third world countries just arent what they used to be. All that oil doesnt hurt either.
/lived in Saudi Arabia...supposedly third world, had better internet in the late 90s than my university has now. go figure. - m0laria, on 10/12/2007, -4/+23Yes, because before America came Iraq was a thirld world country with no TV, internet, or electricity.
- Elektriq, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14The Daily Show with Ali Stewart...
- DisposableRob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11What, slang like "kicked the bucket", "bought the farm" or "fragged"?
- bashar129, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Too bad that it's so dangerous in the area that they have to create the show in another country.
- eplawless, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12Step 3- Remove Oil
- foxymcfox, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12Well, at least the death squads aren't sanctioned by the government anymore...baby steps.
- m0laria, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8@daRoach
What if what you're getting is anal sex? - ZenMojo, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9They didn't. Those tanks were made out of cardboard. Their minister of information just had a bunch of plastic cups connected to strings stretched all across the countryside.
(The hard part was keeping the string wet in the desert.) - MOJIRA, on 05/17/2008, -2/+6You all do understand this is a fiction, right? Too bad it isnt't.
- VanceXT, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I'm happy to see this. Comedy is in many ways a crucible for truth, and poking fun at a political situation is one of the few ways left to get an objective view. Plus points for Iraq. This is another step toward a truly free-thinking nation.
Besides, it's about time someone starting having some fun over there. :P - neuropsychguy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7Finally the Iraqi people have freedom of the press! The fact that they can create a show like this now is definitely an improvement for Iraq.
- HappyScrappy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4The Iraqis have a slang phrase meaning "Hurry up, he's dead!"?
I'm sorry to hear that idea must be expressed so often that a slang phrase has developed for it. - lennon2600, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I hope the Daily Show gives props to the Iraqis who put this thing together. Maybe crack an outsourcing joke.
@chachie: Bush bashing isn't just fun and a prerequisite for becoming a member of the club we call REALITY, it's a healthy start to your day. - revenge7, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Er, I think hes making a movie. I may be wrong though...
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0443453/
...Nope, not wrong. - whackaxe, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2It's a political satire program, not a knock off of the daily show. But associating a subject with another better known subject (using words such as "slams" and "killer" where possible for maximum effect) is good for the frontpage
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1wait!
jon stewert called this one
they are going to use an emmy to highjack a plane - HanSolo69, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Well, at least the death squads aren't *overtly* sanctioned by the government anymore...baby steps.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2whatever happed to comical ali?
he was funny. - azathothx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0@ScottMaximus
Yeah, that's funny an' all... but is it loli? - foxymcfox, on 10/12/2007, -12/+11The ability to create a satirical comedy show without fearing Sadaam's death squads? Sounds like progress to me. This sort of show simply could not have existed under Sadaam's regime, the fact that it is on shows great promise for Iraq's future.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3If any group of people need to laugh, it is the Iraqis. Good for them.
- Clevinger, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2Step 3 - A miracle happens.
- londonjack, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0yeah yeah
- MrTea, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1This thread is useless w/out a video.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1Will it be from a Bill Clinton Fanboy? or just a Bushbasher?
- thefirstenemy, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1Next time I'll read the article for the whole joke.
- Cymrubeats, on 10/12/2007, -14/+5***BREAKING FOX NEWS*** today the us secret services intercepted communications between saudi arabia and iraq, these communications, being made through the internets, include details of how a terrorist leg in iraq, fronted by Talib al-Sudani, are planning to 'remove' every american soldier, even if it's one by one, and 'empty' iraqi hospitals during curfews...
- monkeywizard, on 10/12/2007, -14/+0"No, They rub Sheep together and magically recieve a signal."
You say that as if we expected them to have it :P
That's the same thing as saying, "A series of HDTV thefts in the projects were reported..." - wtf, since when do THEY have HDTVs? Same idea. - monkeywizard, on 10/12/2007, -15/+0"Yes, because before America came Iraq was a thirld world country with no TV, internet, or electricity."
Exactly. I didn't think the modernization of that country would take place that fast. - immortalsanchez, on 10/12/2007, -25/+4heh... Rums bin Feld...
I demand a video! With translation!
i'm american dammit! i have the right to translation! - DJcrayon, on 10/12/2007, -28/+5are we going to be seeing clips of this show everyday on the digg front page?
- daRoach, on 10/12/2007, -25/+1Don't be such a drama queen, from where I come we have a saying. "Thank you may I have another!"
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -35/+1Well, Iraq is a technologically stagnant third world country, so you wouldn't think they'd have (or care for) such things.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -55/+3They have TV in Iraq?
