video: President Obama took on the role of television critic in remarks today at the Islamic Society of Baltimore.
"Our television shows should have some Muslim characters that are unrelated to national security," the president said at the mosque, "because -- it's not that hard to do. There was a time when there were no black people on television. And you can tell good stories while still representing the reality of our communities."

I remember Albert Brooks did a hysterical Comedy tour throughout the Middle East. It was about ten years ago.

Muslims aren’t funny, so no comedies. There are rules against violence, so no dramas. They are seventh century barbaric troglodytes, so no Sci-Fi. Their styles leave a lot to be desired, so no fashion shows. What else? Snuff porn? “Fluffy and the Berber.”?

I remember that well, but your lyrics are a bit off.
Come listen to a story ‘bout a man named Abdul
Poor Arab sheik barely kept his gas tank full.
Then one day- he was shootin’ at some Jews
When up through the ground comes a bubblin’ ooze
Oil that is... Black Gold... Saudi Soda
Now the first thing ya know, Abdul’s a millionaire
Kin folk said: Abdul, Move away from there!
said: Californy is the place that you’d do fair
So the loaded up their camel and they moved to BelAir
(next to Beverly Hills, that is, swimmin pools....movie stars....Jews)
The Bel-Arabs!

Like the Muslim guy living in San Bernardino who worked at an Organization that served disabled people, and him and his wife went there to KILL them all? Like that Obama?
