Obama Pitches Muslim TV Shows [semi-satire]

Appalled by the over-representation of Muslims as terrorists in national security themed TV shows, President Obama called for broadcasters to air a more varied array of programs featuring Muslim characters.

"One idea I came up with is a family comedy," the President said. "There's this daughter who refuses to marry the nephew her father has chosen for her. So, the father and nephew shoot her and dump the body in a river. But she comes back as a ghost or zombie and haunts them with a series of weekly pranks. In one episode the daughter disguises herself as salesperson in a supermarket and tricks her brother into eating a fried pork rind by telling him it's dry-roasted goat intestine. The father finds out and cuts the boy's tongue out as a punishment. The daughter returns and reveals herself. The father tries to kill her, but she's already dead, so he can't. Hilarity ensues."

"Another idea I had is modeled on 'The Bachelor,'" Obama exclaimed. "Each week a young Muslim man will be asked to choose between a ten-year-old girl, boy, or donkey. He will be allowed to ask questions, grope the options, and use a 'lifeline' to the imam of his choice. After he makes his selection, the newly wed couple will be escorted to a small tent on the stage to consummate the marriage while the studio audience cheers them on."

"These are just a couple of ideas off the top of my head," Obama admitted. "I'm sure if Hollywood were to put its mind to it we could come up with more."

In related news, the President blamed "inexcusable political rhetoric for giving Americans a distorted impression of Muslims" and "are largely responsible for violent retaliation like we saw in San Bernardino last year. We need to end the cycle of violence by passing House Resolution 569 and outlaw, once and for all, the unnecessary and offensive disparagement of the Islamic faith in our country."

I think it would be more like Obama FORCING networks to create these shows via executive order.

No, on second thought, they wouldn’t even need Obama to ask them to do it, they would do it voluntarily if they thought it would bring up their ratings.

John, you could sell this as a screen play to Hollywood and make a fortune...

Jihadi for a Day? That means you’re at least as old as I am. You have my sympathies.
