you are funny but pls make sure you don't loose taste with your jokes, the fly part was not funny, i'm saying this not cos i got offended but to point to you that as a stand up comedian your jokes must have ingredients which should linger in the air even after you go off the stage, dont try to say things that are blown away into the air and think they are jokes. Give your jokes volume & weight. Peace!
hhahahahahahhahaha this is funnnnnny man thank u so much u made me laugh,,, i searched 4 somtn 2 make me laugh and i found one,,,there is alot of crap here under the name 'comedy'!!
Minyahil good job. that was funny and you really passed the message. Eyawazah lik likachewin negerkilign. Everybody, take time and listen to what he says. He didnt offend ethiopia in any way he was actually making fun of the people who think that Ethiopians are always hungry and if you are abroad you should know that there are many of them.
these people who are sending you hate mail are obviously habesha AMERICANS who don't understand british humour which is to poke fun at yourself... i thought you were great :)
I saw this movie with a bunch of friends and they were so offended by it but I think it’s funny. People who are not Ethiopians might take it seriously though. I have come across a lot of people who think we Ethiopians are starving or we live on trees or we have lions as pets so if this kind of people see this comedy it will probably strengthen their biased ideas. So I say you are very talented and I hope you use the talent you have to show the positive side of our country.

Well as long as you are doing a comedy show it is alright to make fun of any issue. I added this post on my blog, it definitely explains the intent of my blog...about-ethiopia.co.cc
I suggest you remove some of the offensive, insulting comments...they are rude.
BTW, Only Idiots like your joke because they don't understand your mini mouth. Ante chemlaka besbes yedeha lig. enateh enjera gagira yasadegechih, ethiopian endetisedib new? koletam (lol)
They are laughing at you (lol); you are a son of a bitch. you sound stupid bitch ass with ugly head who grew up on a street; Obviously its your self with multiple account telling your self that you did a good job, and if there is any real? they want you to keep talking so they can laugh at you :) hahaha. I hope they put you in jail for your lies and insult to Ethiopian people..
way to go brother, ... i really like ur performance, its seems genuinely natural and likeable,... as for the materials you performed up here "stereotype" of "ethiopian in the western eye" is a huge ice to be cracked up and destroyed, and we are looking on u to just do that,.... for God sakes you are in the middle of "them", so i say to u dont look back and run, run, run...
If you are truly an Ethiopian you must be a very gracful and great man, you did the best in what is being said about Ethiopians behind our back. I really admire you, the best to do is make fun of it.
Brah do ur thing men i think that none of as should b offended by wat uv done... . Just forget the haters and shine on men, plus u need haters 2 b successful, lol!!!
i actually like this stuff tho when u make jokes its better if it have at least some part of reality...eating fly & stuff is not something habesh people do...this is not asia bro...ethio has a lot of fun stuff man...hope we will see better than this next time dude...try to spend some times with real ethio folks..u might get a lot of ideas. good luck
hey im Ethiopian liven in Denmark.. just saw ur show... too funny man.. i luv the satire and the whole act... hahah i was wondering if we had any stand up comedians... keep it out... i see u got talent... im doing my masters and in a few weeks will hv a show.. saw i was actually thinking abt ethiopian stand up comedy.. using English.. but this time its towards Ethiopians attitudes and norms.. any way.. u are an inspiration... dont worry i will keep my day job :) but i love comedy.... tc Wendem
That s funny men, for real you should actually do more please. and czbbigking, its people like you who gives Ethiopians a bad look. Please you should ask questions first if you don't get it, you thought the interpreter from immigration gonna follow you huh. Good joke n e ways Mini gezahen...chala lol
shame on you . a colapse for identitiy . u laughed with abunch of ediet beaches of ur kind . we the best comedians who can smart out you . they not lughin in ur joke they r laughin at u . looser ediet .
@czbigking, Please learn to spell...... then you can insult me without actually paying attention to what i am saying and completely missing the sarcastic point, also while you are at it, you should try and learn to read as well, as there is a clear explanation to what the point of the routine.
Funny indeed. Hey Mini good job. Sad some habeshas cant take jokes. Keep working, man. Dont be discouraged by the threats. Also, you can not be compared to other habesha comedians (in reference to the comparison to Meskerem). Yes, most Ethioian comedians are good (Meskeren is just soso) but you are breaking into a different audience, different game. You are more an Ethiopian than Russell Peters is an Indian but you dont see Indians being offended by him. Apparently Indians have a more open mind.
Very funny!!!! I just do not see what everybody is gettin offended about. If you can not laugh at your self then you have a complex issue. Bro, keep up the funny material and post some more stuff so i can have a good laugh.
You are an embarrasment to Ethio-Americans. Next time, try harder to neutralize, not to affirm, the streotypes people have about Ethiopians through your jokes, like what the Latino comedians do. Maferia!!
Oi, Minyahil, I'm very glad that u made this video actually. :]
I rarely see (which is in fact true) Ethiopians trying to convey to the world how the stereotypes towards us are wrong... From my perception of you, u are one proud Ethiopian like moi!
I have seen your stand up comedy and was very excited. I was wondering why some Ethiopians feel offended by this. You have tried to show what we experience every time as Ethiopians. If some people don't get the point it is not your fault. You are so far the best Ethiopian Comedian I have seen. So keep it up with the good work!
hey man, You should first learn how to move when u do stand ups.....u just kept on rubbin' ur nose time n again lookin like a shy kid doin a presentation @ school. Real commediens don hate negative comments written to them, It just makes them work harder...Don be so weak to handle it... And u've talked about the same subject for 7 mins while there was a lot of other issues to talk about...(it's a friendly advise)...cheers!!
u put that on and hw come ur tired of hate mails. do u want me to say oh u are very funny congratulations? look the thing is it ok to joke abt the steriotypical views of ethiopian, but not lyk that, u just pushed it lyk its not even steriotypical any more. so pls next time think better. other wise u were quite funny! bless!
The only negative thing I have about this is ur ethiopian accent..it sounds more indian than ethiopian and I liked that James brown bit..develop that and it will be ur signature more..lol..not that I know any comedy to be giving advise though..but do keep ur head up and ignore these useless buff that go around saying shit and doing nothing about the image of Ethiopia..You are atlease doing something whether people get it or not
I love what you doing man..Keep it up and before we know it our language will be in the main stream..Elelelelelellele..I love this and I feel ur pain about the long name. I hope u make it real big man
Hmm! Hey you should know yourself very well before you tell about others. I know we have had too many problems in our country, but we have what we have! I dont know where you had seen people who eat flies in Ethiopia I think you would be the only one who used to eat that! You should change your ego consciousness to test, smell, hear, touch, and see a real comedy before you go to the stage with your trash joke.
dude i'm sorry to be so rude but i think they laghing at u not at ur jokes.Man as a comedian u picket the easy way out when u could have been funny and instructive at the same time.the reason why i'm so though is cause many foreigners don't know nothing about our history and u're haven't managed to snick in a little bit of education in ur jokes.u know comedians that makes fun of there culture normaly turn it arround with a powerful message.
Holy SHIT DUDE!!! You are awesome. I'm Ethiopian-American, I always get excited when I find another habesha in the entertainment industry, you're really good, keep up the good work!
we have never seen anyone who eats flies in ethiopia. may b u and ur family. when u do make fun, try to make it realistic. those who r at lower class of the profession make fun based on such trash ideas just to make people laugh. those in the higher class of the discipline they transfer huge messages through jokes. dont be a loser
dude your funny as shit dawg. man this uptight ma fuckas, need to lightn up. you see , EADy MUrphy, MARtin Lawrence and the most succssful African american comediens JOKe about SLavery. its a joke.
thanks for having the guts to joke about this things. i dont think we will get out of our problems unless we are man enough to face them and laugh about them time to time. keep it up...
Awesome Minyahil!! great job! I am Ethiopian, but i don't get offended by watching this video, it's just a stereotypical joke, which is totally fine. Don't get discouraged bro'..keep up the good work!!!!!
You think youre funny. Absolutely not! You may need to work on your accent first. You are so stupid and ignorant. If you think that you would become famous by putting your own people down, you are very wrong. I dont think you are funny at all. You are a jock yourself. I make sure all Ethiopian see this.
firstly the laughter from the audiece seems to disagree with your starting comment, secondly you are taking it the wrong way!!!! i am not making fun of ethiopians but pointing out that we are viewd that way by western civilisation, when people hear about ethiopia in america and everywhere else all they think is starving disadvantaged people, WE ARE MRE THAN THAT, its a terrible thing that happened but it does not define us, i am challenging that view!!!!
@Minyahil ur trying to show the stereotype that western ppl have about us, Ethiopians, by making fun of us???(that doesn't make sense) i didnt c any part where u tried to show how their stereotype is wrong......... with a little ETHIO-PRIDE, it could have been funnier!! i agree with @dallyleland7 on the part where he/she said " .... by putting your people down, you're very wrong!"
I'm Ethiopian American and I think he's not only hilarious, but he's doing a service to his people. If you can't laugh at your problems, than you're taking yourself way too seriously. Keep your ignorant comments to yourself jerk.
Hey Man WTF u say ? U fukin' dickhead needledick motherfucker ... i got say that ur funny but pls get sometin' positive stuff abut Ethiopia ? pussy ...
why u taking the point and getting it twisted, you miss understand that the joke is on Western civilisation, because belive it or not that is ALL THE MEDIA presents Ethiopians to be, when i am talking bout the famin it is in the context of "THE WESTERN DOCTOR's VIEW" that is how he sees ethiopians he is a symbol for Western thinking. Ethiopia and ethiopians are both beautiful and very inviting, full of life and wonderful things, but the media never show that, and thats what i am challening.
Good stuff mate.but please do add some positive aspects into your material such as our history,culture religion etc. Then your show would be perfict. Keep it up. xx
i had 7 mintues left, and i do in most of my recent stuff as i get a bit longer, i tend not to say anything negetive about ethiopia, but only show THE WAY WE ARE VIEWED through the eyes of western civilisation, which i can understand is very hard to hear but, sadly its the annoying truth because i have yet to see a good documentary showing ethiopian culture and not dwelling on all the negative parts of our history.
u know what dude i cant denie that it was funny .but to be honest here the sense is to make ur audience laugh am i right or am i ryt? but what really got me pissed and annoyed was that the fact that u are making fun of ethiopia .its a bit disgracefull .ok whalla u are talented you can do more bla bla bla .......... okay big deal let me put it this way you make fun you earn lots of money ,fame and soon but what about decency? you must use your talen for other things
Why do people seem to take the Literal, WATCH THE VIDEO CAREFULLY, my point of view and attitude towards the steriotypical view of ethiopians by western society is CLEAR, I get pissed off everytime people think ethiopians are starving and poor which is why when i am talking about the fammine i say "APPARENTLY" which is the key word because its the Dr's point of view that i am sketching out (the dr represents western civilisation's view)
There is nothing funny about this video. I know you back at BCS in Ethiopia and i never thought u would turn out like this.......makin jokes of your mom and bro and even us Ethiopians?!?!?!?! what is that? i've seen ur bro once here in addis and believe me it is not worth jokin abt him....... U r a disgrace!
Firstly i find it ironic that you rush to insult me, and secondly YOU DONT UNDERSTAND its called SARCASM!!!!! i am not making fun of Ethiopia nor my brother BUT PEOPLE's VIEW of schitsophrenia and western civilisation's view of ethiopia, YOU CALL ME A DISGRACE when you dont even understand the point of this stand up, and thirdly STAND UP COMEDY is never PERSONAL, its just COMEDY, unlike you i dont rush to insults (AND READ THE EXPLANATION at the begining)
You say you know me, but if you did you would realise that i love ethiopia and my family, YOU HAVE NO IDEA what i have gone through with my brother and how many years i have supported him and been with him in hospitals months on end so dont you dare say i am making fun of him, ITS POEOPLE's steriotypical view of Schitsophrenia that is being made fun of. you say there is nothing funny about it and yet there is a comedy club full of people INCLUDING ETHIOPIANS who were laughing till they cried!!!
''pls give them some food'' ??? what's up with that? the diaspora just got successful of taking out the name Ethiopia from the dictionaries on the word famine and u r steal preaching there is famine??? c'mon
Again that is a sarcastic comment on a social point of view, Belive me that is all that people think ethiopia is and if you watch the video carefully after i make a comment i always either shake my head at it or reply with "well thats the steriotype that you get isnt it"
Don't misunderstand me there my friend....... Im not tryin to insult u ! Im trying to tell u should atleast know ur origins.... u said many people laughed....well believe me i know they will cuz that's what they have been doin @ us for years....but if u show them that u respect urself, then they surely will respect u....if u have such good talents, then u can use it for good purposes.....u can tell the good things abt ethiopia.......
Well there are people who will always take what other people say LITERALLY and there are those that understand the true message, and i am using it for a good purpose i clearly understand that the stand up wont be liked by most ethiopians as it is a very different kind of humour.
No offense taken, but there is a huge difference between me and Meskereme Bekele and that is His audience are CLEARLY JUST ETHIOPIAN, although he speaks english in his routine it is not AIMED to tackle western civilisation, his routines are basically ETHIOPIAN COMEDY at its best but they alienate the rest of the world. I didn't just say all those things to get a laugh, its a POLITICAL comment, the image of me on the stage is different from that people have in their heads in the UK.
This is hella funny. I had my dad watch it so that he could see for himself what his arm does when he gets upset or stressed. Keep doin it!! Let me know when you come to the US and I will get you some stage time.
Brush off the negative comments boo boo...apparently some of us lack a good sense of humor! I know this clip is hilarious.Keep doing your thing...Godfrey got nothing on you.
i totally understand the comedy side of it but i didn't find it appropreite and i think u cross the line, there r many things u could joke 'bout but no the famine
i understand it is a touchy subject, but you have to realise that the butt of the joke are not the victims of the famine but the people who think that THAT IS ALL ETHIOPIA IS!!! that is an image that is stuck in the western minds. and i am saying there is more to us than that. If you look at it carefully you will hear i say the word "Apparentlly" which is the key word meaning that is how we are seen BUT NOT THE WAY IT WE ARE!!!!
It's all good, bro. Confident people do joke at themselvs. I think there is a lot to work about our culture. Since our culture is so unique, I think you guys can produce a lot of laughs without crossing the line. What line to cross anyway. Our lowest history is starvation. If you can make people laugh about that, the rest is educational. Keep it up.
I don't think you have said anything that was offensive. This is the truth...that is the way the outsiders think of us. If we don't have sense of humors, then the heck with us.
I am a pround Ethiopian and i am loving this video. dude keep up the good work , you are funny!! And that's all it matters after all. Ignore the haters, no matter what kind of materials you pick, they will always have negetive things to say about it. keep your head up and do what you do best bro.
glad to see people like you who actually understand what it is about, lol and as for the haters dont worry i find it quite entertaining really, as they rush to call me stuipd when they dont even understand the message being put across EVEN AFTER there is a clear warning and explantion put up at the begning.
Keep working hard.....aim for the sun and you will reach the moon.........if possible, try and incorporate something positive about your home-land in all your stand-ups. Good luck.
you know what, you are there and you are doing it well that is what matters. But still if you have negative comments I won't tell you to ignore them completely but analize them wisely.
lol "feed the world let them know its christmas time" lol i can see why people get offended but its not a problem when we poke fun at west africans so why cant we learn to laugh at ourselves??
good job anyways..i luved the last part..elelelelelelele
Waw thats so funny, how you rush to insult me when you don't even understand or LISTEN to what i am saying, look up the meaning of "SARCASM" in the dictionary and then things will make sense for you, and plus it might help your spelling :D
Minyahil, kudos to you. I am surprised how people can be so hateful and rude. Loosen up people.
Miny, always remember that you can never please everybody especially in show business. Don't expect everyone to get it but do not even think of stopping what you are doing. Those who got angry, didn't get the sarcasm...so don't blame them....just do what you believe in...Good job!!!.you have a potential.
I'm not even Ethiopian but i just went to Ethiopia last summer and the ppl r the most people beautiful ppl in da world so i don't even know wut he's talking about. But i guess after all it's comedy so he gotta do wut gotta do to make ppl laugh. If he doesn't exaggerate things, i think he's pretty funny.
i did not see anything funny about this gabari jokes?. he cant even say his name right he call himself ethiopian?. he looks more homo-donkey than comedian.
YoniKera, with all due respect, these kind of stuff is not for people who easily get offended. The fact of the matter is people make their own choices and you have the choice not to watch this video. Otherwise, this dude has done a great job. Ability of society to take such jockes shows you how advanced they are in their beliefs (not religious). So chill and refrain your self from using unecessary comments. It's just exposing you.
i have to say this is the best comedy i haave ever seen! :] i couldnt stop laughing i even started crying. im ethiopian and i have to say yu are right on everything! you should post some more up!
Minyahil, i think that you are great i love your jokes. Its fun to see an ethiopian joke about this things, bisauce its there so why not joke about it. I wanna see more of u, you should come to Sweden and preform. Keep up the good job/proud ethiopian girl:)
Oh I think I don't need a dictionary for this word. I appreciate ur suggestion tho.
Anyway,
I feel much better. I like ur reply. But still am not sure if ur audiences were not so inactive as I was to understand the irony. But yeah, ur relaxed stage experience is cool. u can move it far forward to let us see it in a more formalized atmosphere with a different topic. ....... like movies.
Minyahil man, this this some funny stuff. I am a big fun of stand up comedy. I believe it eases tentions and losens up people's minds. I think you did a great job. Keep it up. Do some more jokes.
far from it my friend, im just making fun of people's stereotypical view of ethiopia, a lot of people tend to think that i am making fun of ethiopians and ethiopia, but if you look at it carefully you will realize who the butt of the joke really is... and that is anyone who thinks eithiopians are just starved disadvantaged people.
Don't let anyone in here discourage you bro . You are fuckking hilarious , me and my brothers were laughing our asses off while watching ur video . Im also Ethio and make fun of the same things you just did . I can see a great future in you . hahaha that sounded like a quote from "LION KING" or something hahahah nyways keep it up dude ... ur funny !!

You are an embarrasment to Ethio-Americans. Next time, try harder to neutralize, not to affirm, the streotypes people have about Ethiopians through your jokes, like what the Latino comedians do. Maferia!!

Oi, Minyahil, I'm very glad that u made this video actually. :]
I rarely see (which is in fact true) Ethiopians trying to convey to the world how the stereotypes towards us are wrong... From my perception of you, u are one proud Ethiopian like moi!

I have seen your stand up comedy and was very excited. I was wondering why some Ethiopians feel offended by this. You have tried to show what we experience every time as Ethiopians. If some people don't get the point it is not your fault. You are so far the best Ethiopian Comedian I have seen. So keep it up with the good work!

hey man, You should first learn how to move when u do stand ups.....u just kept on rubbin' ur nose time n again lookin like a shy kid doin a presentation @ school. Real commediens don hate negative comments written to them, It just makes them work harder...Don be so weak to handle it... And u've talked about the same subject for 7 mins while there was a lot of other issues to talk about...(it's a friendly advise)...cheers!!

Hmm! Hey you should know yourself very well before you tell about others. I know we have had too many problems in our country, but we have what we have! I dont know where you had seen people who eat flies in Ethiopia I think you would be the only one who used to eat that! You should change your ego consciousness to test, smell, hear, touch, and see a real comedy before you go to the stage with your trash joke.
6Jras 2 years ago 3
dude i'm sorry to be so rude but i think they laghing at u not at ur jokes.Man as a comedian u picket the easy way out when u could have been funny and instructive at the same time.the reason why i'm so though is cause many foreigners don't know nothing about our history and u're haven't managed to snick in a little bit of education in ur jokes.u know comedians that makes fun of there culture normaly turn it arround with a powerful message.

You think youre funny. Absolutely not! You may need to work on your accent first. You are so stupid and ignorant. If you think that you would become famous by putting your own people down, you are very wrong. I dont think you are funny at all. You are a jock yourself. I make sure all Ethiopian see this.
dallyleland7 2 years ago
firstly the laughter from the audiece seems to disagree with your starting comment, secondly you are taking it the wrong way!!!! i am not making fun of ethiopians but pointing out that we are viewd that way by western civilisation, when people hear about ethiopia in america and everywhere else all they think is starving disadvantaged people, WE ARE MRE THAN THAT, its a terrible thing that happened but it does not define us, i am challenging that view!!!!

lex02crx89 2 years ago
why u taking the point and getting it twisted, you miss understand that the joke is on Western civilisation, because belive it or not that is ALL THE MEDIA presents Ethiopians to be, when i am talking bout the famin it is in the context of "THE WESTERN DOCTOR's VIEW" that is how he sees ethiopians he is a symbol for Western thinking. Ethiopia and ethiopians are both beautiful and very inviting, full of life and wonderful things, but the media never show that, and thats what i am challening.

i had 7 mintues left, and i do in most of my recent stuff as i get a bit longer, i tend not to say anything negetive about ethiopia, but only show THE WAY WE ARE VIEWED through the eyes of western civilisation, which i can understand is very hard to hear but, sadly its the annoying truth because i have yet to see a good documentary showing ethiopian culture and not dwelling on all the negative parts of our history.

Why do people seem to take the Literal, WATCH THE VIDEO CAREFULLY, my point of view and attitude towards the steriotypical view of ethiopians by western society is CLEAR, I get pissed off everytime people think ethiopians are starving and poor which is why when i am talking about the fammine i say "APPARENTLY" which is the key word because its the Dr's point of view that i am sketching out (the dr represents western civilisation's view)

U r a disgrace!
moses125351 2 years ago 2
Firstly i find it ironic that you rush to insult me, and secondly YOU DONT UNDERSTAND its called SARCASM!!!!! i am not making fun of Ethiopia nor my brother BUT PEOPLE's VIEW of schitsophrenia and western civilisation's view of ethiopia, YOU CALL ME A DISGRACE when you dont even understand the point of this stand up, and thirdly STAND UP COMEDY is never PERSONAL, its just COMEDY, unlike you i dont rush to insults (AND READ THE EXPLANATION at the begining)
Minyahil 2 years ago
You say you know me, but if you did you would realise that i love ethiopia and my family, YOU HAVE NO IDEA what i have gone through with my brother and how many years i have supported him and been with him in hospitals months on end so dont you dare say i am making fun of him, ITS POEOPLE's steriotypical view of Schitsophrenia that is being made fun of. you say there is nothing funny about it and yet there is a comedy club full of people INCLUDING ETHIOPIANS who were laughing till they cried!!!
Minyahil 2 years ago
''pls give them some food'' ??? what's up with that? the diaspora just got successful of taking out the name Ethiopia from the dictionaries on the word famine and u r steal preaching there is famine??? c'mon
moses125351 2 years ago
Again that is a sarcastic comment on a social point of view, Belive me that is all that people think ethiopia is and if you watch the video carefully after i make a comment i always either shake my head at it or reply with "well thats the steriotype that you get isnt it"
Minyahil 2 years ago
Don't misunderstand me there my friend....... Im not tryin to insult u ! Im trying to tell u should atleast know ur origins.... u said many people laughed....well believe me i know they will cuz that's what they have been doin @ us for years....but if u show them that u respect urself, then they surely will respect u....if u have such good talents, then u can use it for good purposes.....u can tell the good things abt ethiopia.......
moses125351 2 years ago
Well there are people who will always take what other people say LITERALLY and there are those that understand the true message, and i am using it for a good purpose i clearly understand that the stand up wont be liked by most ethiopians as it is a very different kind of humour.
Minyahil 2 years ago
u can see more of SARCASM STANDUP COMEDY of Meskereme Bekele....... no offense!
moses125351 2 years ago
No offense taken, but there is a huge difference between me and Meskereme Bekele and that is His audience are CLEARLY JUST ETHIOPIAN, although he speaks english in his routine it is not AIMED to tackle western civilisation, his routines are basically ETHIOPIAN COMEDY at its best but they alienate the rest of the world. I didn't just say all those things to get a laugh, its a POLITICAL comment, the image of me on the stage is different from that people have in their heads in the UK.
Minyahil 2 years ago
well explained !!!! If that is what is really in your mind i respect that....... and i believe that u can do more on the positive side aswell

i understand it is a touchy subject, but you have to realise that the butt of the joke are not the victims of the famine but the people who think that THAT IS ALL ETHIOPIA IS!!! that is an image that is stuck in the western minds. and i am saying there is more to us than that. If you look at it carefully you will hear i say the word "Apparentlly" which is the key word meaning that is how we are seen BUT NOT THE WAY IT WE ARE!!!!
Minyahil 2 years ago

Ezana2008 2 years ago
It's all good, bro. Confident people do joke at themselvs. I think there is a lot to work about our culture. Since our culture is so unique, I think you guys can produce a lot of laughs without crossing the line. What line to cross anyway. Our lowest history is starvation. If you can make people laugh about that, the rest is educational. Keep it up.

YoniKera, with all due respect, these kind of stuff is not for people who easily get offended. The fact of the matter is people make their own choices and you have the choice not to watch this video. Otherwise, this dude has done a great job. Ability of society to take such jockes shows you how advanced they are in their beliefs (not religious). So chill and refrain your self from using unecessary comments. It's just exposing you.
