the incredibly courageous staff of this French magazine , Charlie Hebdo, I am probably pronouncing it wrong but we all know who they are, they said it loud and clear this week because they announced yesterday, not only will they put out the next edition on time, but with a million extra copies. Yeah, I mean, my heroes, compare that to Sony who pulled the “interview” after one on-line threat. Congratulation Sony, you put up less resistance than the French. Wow, they are the scaredy pants. They also shut down the production of next “Guardian of the Galaxy” movie because the raccoons complained about their portrayal.
wish, they are martyrs, they were shot dead by French police. And the third
jihadist, which is their accomplice, also shot dead, got this, maybe there is a
god, in a kosher deli, I just hope the last thing went through this guy’s head,
other than the sound of the bullets, was an old Jewish woman complaining the
brisket was too fatty. Now we are learning more about these brothers who
carried out this attack, they are as everyone expected, Amish, well, you know
what, Howard Dean said the other day, he said they are not Muslim terrorists,
they are mass murders, he was going to say more but the elephant in the room
sat on him. OK, we found out these two brothers were radicalized by a fanatical
janitor. I love that, because you know what, a janitor he must have the inside
track on what God wants, because God made him a janitor, he would put out a
fatwa on gum.
to make fun of religion, but only religion could ruin getting high and looking
at cartoons. So, meanwhile this week over at Syria Isis be-headed a street
magician, finally, we are on the same page, I have to think that Charlie Hebdo
would like that joke. You know the death toll at the office would have much higher, except luckily it was Paris in the middle of the day, most people being at home having sex.
aime la France. Even the conservatives, Senate republicans even considering changing the Freedom Fries back to French Fries. And all the politicians are
getting into the act, Chris Christie, today pledged that he would eat a whole
tray of chocolate éclairs, and Bill Clinton said he would proudly take part in ménage
à trios.
周五的“Real Time with Bill Maher”。Bill 生在一个天主教家庭,父亲是天主教徒,母亲是犹太裔。
他自己小时候随父为天主教教徒。后来成为无神论者,而且是最大声的无神论者,曾制作电
影“Religulous”,拿各种宗教开涮。Bill 是言论自由的强力捍卫者,大麻无害论的时刻推销员,共和
党与美国“红州”最“可恨”的对手。911前曾主持电视节目“政治不正确”。911发生,Bill 说了一段“不合
时宜”的话,结果被电视公司开铡。他到现在一直耿耿于怀,说他是唯一为911负起责任的美国人。
喜剧艺人的骄傲,得罪“弱势”就是狗腿子了。Bill 以拿宗教开涮为己任,几乎无天主教不成笑话。可
是,穆斯林在美国是弱势,拿穆斯林开玩笑是一种不可为的禁忌。Bill 曾在一期自己的节目上“探
讨”穆斯林,结果被“自由派”的“同志”大肆修理批判。可是,社会也得想一想,当一个“弱势”弱到不能
批评时,这个“弱势”是不是真那么“弱”?
有了这些背景,上面那段视频就容易理解些。再解释几个细节。
Bill Maher 及“Charlie Hebdo”版的笑话,与咱国文化在许多方面格格不入,这就是所谓的文化冲突吧。
