Also,Iraq has celebrities?

Quote:

BAGHDAD — An Iraqi reality television program broadcast during Ramadan has been planting fake bombs in celebrities’ cars, having an Iraqi army checkpoint find them and terrifying the celebrities into thinking that they are headed for maximum security prison.

The show “Put Him in [Camp] Bucca” has drawn numerous protests but has stayed on air throughout the fasting month, broadcasting its “stings” on well-known Iraqi personalities.

How are they going to find the bombs using those overpriced dowsing rods?

There was a candid camera show in one of the middle eastern countries, I want to say Lebanon but I'm not sure, and they had a segment where they would run up to a stranger on the street, hand them a briefcase then run away.

I think it was Egypt, and I thought it demonstrated a very strange sense of humor. Then again, we are the country who gave the world "The Gong Show".

One by-product of living on such a geographically and culturally diverse planet is the fact that there are lots of famous people most of us have never heard of.

I can just see the coming shows in the series: "That's not a REAL Hamas Terrorist Attack", filmed in Tel Aviv; "Wasn't that Just an HILARIOUS Fake Black Box Recording of Hijackers Taking Over the Plane?" in downtown Manhattan; "That's not a Priest's ACTUAL you-know-what" scaring the heck out of choir boys in the Vatican (fun for the whole family!); "Smile, you Weren't Actually Sentenced to Death by Stoning" broadcast from Iran...

because it's a smoldering hellhole with 3/4's of a million dead bodies stacked up where everyone lives in fear of the terrorist US soldiers who kick in their doors to rape them at night.

Or is what the pansy liberal media and the Defeatocrats in Congress tell us not true?

foxholeatheist · 5th September 2010, 08:13 PM

Smoldering? Yes.
Hellhole? Most of it, yes.
Bodies and stuff... That's so 2007.
Kicking in doors? Yes though I never raped anyone but I have kicked the door open on a couple in the throes of passion. A soldier pointing a Mossberg in you face will spoil your mood quickstyle.

Ed, what an awful idea for a show.
