That's because the Ø regime was doing the hummma hummma (from Honeymooner episodes where Ralph is saying "hummma hummma hummma"). Why were they doing the hummma? Because this embassy outpost was up to no good with F&F-style gunrunning. So, to be more precise, instead of "hummma hummma" they were going "video video".
Well, perhaps it worked. The details on the gun-running are still not public knowledge.
