intellectual humor from the Iraqi man on the street.

[kylebisme]

when asked to speculate on the whereabouts of Saddam Hussein, an old Iraqi man jokes:

"he is with the american intelligence...CIA, CNN or whatever they are called."

kids who had gathered around the camera burst out in laughter. 😀

no one thinks that is funny enough to comment?

 

[Crimson]

Did any of you see that X-Files episode where Mulder and that guy from Area 51 switch places? Apparently the guy thought up the idea of Saddam Hussien when he was on the toilet. Good episode. 😛

If you haven' t seen it. Then disregard this post.

Yeah, maybe hanging around this forum for too long has made me lose my sense of humour, but I don't find it very funny either.

I don't really get it either. I guess he thinks the whole war was a set up?

 

[FrontlineWarrior]

yes, understanding it would be a good start in appreciating the humor. it wasn't very clear to me.

the joke is in that our "free" press is so tided up with our goverment though business dealings that there is not much difference between the CIA and CNN at this point.

Its not funny because CNN or CIA arn't "intelligence"...(joke)
