Must-see comedy for IRAQI

When you are mope and sullen, how do you cope with that?
You may eat what you like or do shopping, or call your friends, or possibly write a blog...
One of the easiest and cheapest way is laughing out loud. Even in a war-torn country like Iraq, or because of such a tragedy, laughing may attract people's attention. These are pieces of a newscast parody by an Iraqi comedian who delivers so-called Must-see comedy in his country.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(quote)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a recent episode, the host, Saaed Khalifa, reported that Iraq's Ministry of Water and Sewage had decided to change its name to simply the Ministry of Sewage - because it had given up on the water part.

In another episode, he jubilantly declared that "Rums bin Feld" had announced American troops were leaving the country on 1/1, in other words, on Jan. 1. His face crumpled when he realized he had made a mistake. The troops were not actually departing on any specific date, he clarified, but instead leaving one by one. At that rate, it would take more than 600 years for them to be gone.

You can read the whole story by clicking this address. I found it profound in his following sentence, "We need fun in our lives because of our tragic circumstances".
