The wives of Islamic State fighters ponder what to wear at a beheading and assess how sexy they look in suicide vests in a BBC satire which has sparked both anger and praise for tackling the fate of women who travel to Syria to join the militants.
In a clip from the BBC's "Revolting" TV comedy show, entitled "Real Housewives of ISIS" which aired on Tuesday, one "wife" of a militant fighter in Syria says: "It's only three days to the beheading and I've got no idea what to wear."
"This is my sixth marriage - I have been widowed five times," another woman says with a sigh before an explosion which prompts her to say: "Six times."

Leave it to the Brits to go where no PC-infested US network would dare to tread...
Looks pretty funny, so of course many are "offended".
Seriously, who would be offended by this? Don’t answer, rhetorical question.
The skits SNL need to do to get back to 1970s funny
A top Alenski tactic is ridicule. I say use it!
reminded me of Monty Python, they always crossed the boundaries but made it funny and acceptable. But:
Political speech + Humor = Liberals are Offended.
Love ladies with English accents.
Yes, especially the opening scene of "The life of Brian" when the Magi brought the gifts.
WISE MAN #1: Well-- well, we must see him. We have brought presents.
MANDY: Out!
WISE MAN #2: Gold. Frankincense. Myrrh.
MANDY: Well, why didn't you say? He's over there. --- Sorry the place is a bit of a mess. Well, what is myrrh, anyway?
WISE MAN #3: It is a valuable balm.
MANDY: A balm? What are you giving him a balm for? It might bite him.
WISE MAN #3: What?
MANDY: That's a dangerous animal. Quick! Throw it in the trough.
WISE MAN #1: No, it isn't.
If you liked that ... see the movie “Four Lions”

Love ladies with English accents.
So do I! But when I was in England I had to concentrate to understand what they were saying.
When I moved there, took me about 6 months. Lived in Sheffield so the accents were very broad with slang. Watched a lot of “Coronation Street” to try and help my ear ‘click in’. Husband had to translate for me a while. :) After 8 years, I could distinguish regional accents. All so different.
There is also the irony of British accented ISIS wives, in regard to the Islamization of England.
Very funny!
LMAO!
This was pretty good. http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/father-daughter-ad/2850279?snl=1

Still easy to find by searching youtube for “Real Housewives of ISIS”
I can’t imagine why any peace-loving Muslim would be offended (assuming any really exist). All of the comedy is directed at the ISIS fascists.
Too bad Lorne Michaels had his balls chopped off, this is the type of stuff you might have seen on SNL years ago.
