Transvestite Shi’ite
Morey Amsterdinejad calls for Israel to be wiped off the map, and the world yawns. But should the puny Persian punk utter one word against homosexuals—all hell breaks loose:
Do you find closeted-homophobe jokes even funnier the trillionth time around? Then hold on to those sides and prepare yourself for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a dress. Yeah, a dress!
…
Ahmadinejad is a gay-hating savage, ergo this skit is funny.
I know I’m dating myself, but SNL hasn’t been funny since the Hoover administration—so this isn’t exactly news.
I just love the shallowness. Threatening genocide, denying the Holocaust, embracing the fascist fatty down Venezuela way—none of this bothers the witty minds of the entertainment industry. But one dis of the gay community, and he’s Public Enemy Number One.
How brave.
