Arab TV using cartoons to battle Islamic State

President Obama is getting ready to run a press conference today that will certainly send us into yet another war that we actually started in the first place.

In any case, Arab TV is fighting this battle probably the way more effective and less costly way…cartoons. Producers of the ”Ktir Salbe Show” have begun putting together cartoons that show the terrorist group known as ISIS/ISIL/Islamic State/Vice porn, as a bunch of bumbling Looney Tunes-esque type of idiots.

For example, there’s a scene in one of the cartoons featuring a taxi driver picking up a jihadist. Unfortunately, jihads don’t believe in mobile phones, air conditioning, or listening to the radio so the driver just throws him out. Cartoons like this are shown all over Syria and Iraq, with other Iraq cartoons showing depictions of King Abdullah from Saudi Arabia and former followers of Saddam Hussein as old-timey assholes who keep clinging to a time an era that is long outdated.

Personally, I like this idea. I have watched many a documentaries on how pop culture eventually influences government policies and have seen it work in countries like South Korea, Japan, and even here in the United States. The internet has given Americans the power to form alliances and drive out asshole Senators and Congressman from power, and keep crazy ideologists like Sarah Palin at bay. And no, this isn’t a Democrat vs Republican thing either, as I think both sides are equal amount butt-fuckery. Remember that when you see Barack Obama later tonight as he interrupts your favorite programming.
