Move over America's Funniest Home Videos! Move over Kicked in the Nuts! Here comes the newest TV sensation, Hidden Camera Jihad! Al-Zawraa TV, in association with an Iraqi sattellite TV channel, has begun airing the episodes of the show which apparently shows attacks on US Troops dubbed over with comedic one-liners and sound effects. I'm not really one for censoring, but this sounds pretty heinous to me. If not heinous, certainly morbid. I have nothing against practical jokes or images of politicians stumbling over words (or feet), but showing real attacks on young soldiers, regardless of which side they fight for, seems immoral to me. I hope this doesn't see too wide an audience, but I have a very hard time believing it won't.
