Hajji TV Channel Mocks Americans as Fat, Gun-Toting Racists

Post by BDKJMU »

"Not Everyone Likes the Fourth of July-Themed Al Jazeera Video that Mocks Americans as Fat, Gun-Toting Racists

Al Jazeera’s digital media platform AJ+ posted a Fourth of July-themed video mocking Americans as fat, cheese-eating, gun-toting, pill-popping, racist porn watchers.

While some on social media applauded the creation, others slammed the Qatar-owned network for using the holiday “to dump” on America.

Social media users got particularly riled up by the criticism coming from the channel owned by Qatar — a country where stoning is a legal punishment under Shariah law, women have second class legal status, writers can be imprisoned for criticizing the emir and abuse of foreign laborers has been repeatedly criticized by human rights groups.

The video is sarcastically titled “Americans Show Why USA Is The #1 Country In The World.”

After lauding the U.S. as world leader in Olympic medals, Nobel laureates and billionaires, young actors then go on to mock the U.S. for “the most incarcerated people in the world. God-bless the prison industrial complex.”

“When it comes to obesity … a third of us can’t even see our own toes,” said a man waving an American flag.

Another assertion left the impression that nine out of 10 Americans have guns.

“Pew Pew, we’ve got 90 guns per 100 persons. Sorry, Yemen, we beat you in drones and guns!” said one of the actors.

“Americans consume 80 percent of the world’s painkillers. Makes sense though, right? I mean racism in this country is a big pain in the ass,” said a female actor.

Al Jazeera also credited the U.S. with having the “most number of teen pregnancies per capita,” leading the world in credit card debt and “the most deaths by lawnmower.”

“This sort of seems mean spirited to be honest,” Benjamin Buzbee wrote on YouTube. “It’s important to keep perspective and some of these are important issues, but the spirit of this video is to dump on the US the day before independence day – seems more sensationalistic than journalistic. Can’t say I approve.”

Christoffer Johnsen said on Facebook, “Yea because the middle east is a so great place to live in?! Come on Aj+ you gotta stop bashing only America.”

YouTube user Truths Corner wrote, “Criticism of a country is not a bad thing, why did AJ+ not compare the us to the s*** whole countries it wants us to be like. Like Turkey, where the best selling book is MEIN KAMPF. Or pakistan where 80% favor killing apostates, o wait AJ+ biased as f***.”

“I don’t think we compare. But we definitely take shots at other countries,” AJ+ executive producer David Cohn said in response on YouTube. He then pointed viewers to other videos, such as one beheadings in Saudi Arabia and another on a women’s protest in Turkey.

However, none of the videos to which he linked had the same mocking tone of the Fourth of July video.

Someone should ask Al Jazeera America what it's like to be the #1 US channel sued by its own executives for misogyny https://t.co/Z12Nolmgfe" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

— Yair Rosenberg (@Yair_Rosenberg) July 3, 2015

Al Jazeera America is facing two lawsuits from former employees.

Former Al Jazeera America senior vice president Shannon High-Bassalik in June filed suit accusing the company of discriminating against female and non-Arab employees.

In April, a former staffer filed a lawsuit alleging that he was subjected to “anti-American” and “anti-Semitic” remarks in the workplace and that executives were biased against women."

:lol:

I was at the parade in our little lakeside community yesterday, looking around, and thinking pretty much the same thing... minus the guns.

I also remember going to 4th of July parades in Kingston, WA where you'd see logging trucks featuring fake spotted owls with arrows through them driving down the road.

Whoa...slow down there Lee Greenwood.

I was laughing at OLFU's line. I know you're not above at least a little introspective humor.

(I hate being accused by the PC police... :ohno: )

Americans take it because being fat and owning a gun is better than being hungry and living without a gun in the middle of a desert.

Please don't confuse my genuine thankfulness of being born in the right place
with back pedaling - Anybody who doesn't get that is broken

1) Be thankful - I didn't get to chose where I was born - I got lucky
2) Be forgiving of the plight of others - it's hard to overcome brainwashing
3) NOBODY on this forum Hates ISLAM more than I do - I F*cking detest that religion with all my heart

Your comments say more about YOU than they do about ME

Settle down there, sensitive

It's just a coincidence that I posted right after you, describing something you could be reasonably predicted to do

And believe it or not there's two kinds of people who fit into the "they have a point" crowd

Those who truly despise the patriotic image of America - that can't stand the ignorant hicks who make up a significant and important (and necessary) part of our country

And

Those who may agree with some of the thrust of the video but also recognize that for all our faults we are still a lot better off than even a good portion of the rest of the modern world - news outlets representative of sh1thole countries and their snarky Western editors who use them as a platform for bashing their chief ally outside of their worthless region notwithstanding.

I see you and Chiizstaain in group two so don't get your panties in a bind
