Doctors of Psychiary like Ft. Hood Maj. Hassan

Jihadists

Sharia Law advocates

Government worker, as in San Bernardino

Non-Arab muslim terrorists, as in Boston

American black veterans, as in the DC sniper

Very diverse indeed.

Just don’t put any Christians on any shows because that would be judgmental and intolerant!

So did the Obama administration force all the TV shows to have “gay” characters in them?

Because at this point they all do.

:) is there ONE comedy show in any of these countries?

i can’t see what they would be allowed to joke about and women probably couldn’t be on TV.

They’ve already tried that, but they keep beheading their co-stars.

“...Maybe Obama should audition for one....”

What do you mean? He’s been doing that for the last seven years.

OKOK, lemme pitch these to you:

HEADS UP! - the heartwarming story of a little boy who trains for a World Cup soccer career by beheading infidels.

NO IFS, ANDS, OR BUTTS - a country imam opens a mosque in San Francisco during the Folsom Street Fair. Hilarity ensues.

BACHELOR GOAT - sort of like the Dating Game, you know?

LET'S MAKE A DEAL OR ELSE - you wouldn't believe what's behind Door Number Three.

Don't call me, I'll call you. Let's do lunch.
