More photoshopped Facebook profile images for all our KABOBfans to download, use and pass along. This time, inspired by President Barack Obama’s famous “hope” poster… minus the bullshit.
Since I was a kid we had to look at this map and memorize the geography of those nice and wonderful places in the Arabs world. After awhile, you get sick of it and wanting to make fun of the whole thing, the borders, the countries and the politics of it all. Here is a take on the map of the Arab World if I dare to be so honest. I send this map to the Arab leaders who just finished their summit in Libya.
Ray Hanania has made a career of combining his Palestinian-American identity with his love for communications. For better or worse, his personal website states that he’s a journalist, blogger, author, publisher, standup comedian, pundit, satirist, filmmaker, radio talk show host, motivational speaker, media consultant and – most recently – a self-nominated presidential candidate for the Palestinian Authority.
Ray Hanania, a Palestinian-American comedian whose funny bone has yet to be verified, recently unveiled plans to adopt a number of jackasses housed in zoos across the nation. His goal is to unite them and form a lobby that is able to adequately represent their rights in the United States. His efforts are being supported by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
The new right-wing icon that represents their fear and animosity towards President Obama is a poster of the president wearing the clown makeup of the Joker character in the last Batman film. The vicious, sadistic character unleashes public disorder by undermining the government and overturning the basic mores of society. For right-wingers, that is socialism.
The analogy is a flawed one since they also accuse him of centralizing government, of creating a big order. This is something the Joker had no interest in. He preferred the dystopian vision of anarchy, the one that has protesters at town hall meetings armed with hand guns, and using them.
Low and behold even George Costanza has chimed in with a proposed roadmap to peace: comedy.
While addressing a crowd in occupied Jerusalem, he likened the failures and successes of the hit sitcom Seinfeld to the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
“[J]ust as the show managed to bounce back with comedy…a solution might be found for Mideast troubles if people write and laugh with one another,” paraphrased Ha’aretz (censored).
In all fairness, using laughter as a means for achieving peace between Israelis and Palestinians is not a new idea.
In fact, the originator of this bold new concept is none other than Ray Hanania – award winning journalist, standup comedian, author, activist, taxi cab driver, actor, blogger, runway model, scientologist, cake baker, balloon artist, crocodile wrangler, pet detective, chimney sweeper, rodeo clown, adult store attendant, Braille translator and Palestinian spokesperson extraordinaire.
By now everyone’s heard of that Detroit biker gang that had 74 of its members and associates indicted by the federal government for conspiracy to murder, as well as to possess and distribute illegal drugs. Among those indicted were two well-respected members of the Arab-American community, Hatim “Tim” Attalla and Aref “Scarface” Nagi (yes, that is his actual nickname).
Swiss artist Olivier Suter, as part of his project ‘Enemies’, put side-by-side a Palestinian boy and Israeli girl who have the same haircut, I mean are supposed to look alike. His project focused on the absurd ways people identify “the other.” The Israeli girl’s father, a long-time supporter of a two-state solution, said “[David] Ben-Gurion [...]
Will: Fadi this girl is hot. http://tinyurl.com/qoj2mj PB: Nasty. she looks like Hogan without a moustache. Fadi: She’s always making fun of Muslims for being “ugly” (no joke, she actually frequently passes this generalization off as a legitimate argument). Obviously, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I think she’s deformed looking. PB: [...]
Interestingly, the order came from the biggest pig of all… 3ammo Hosni.
