ok, i desperately NEED to go to bed, but i was joking our phone conversations being "listened in" on by the FBI. it just reminded me of this amazing show, the "Axis of Evil Comedy Tour" which was on Comedy Central.
Dean Obeidallah (half-Arab and half-Sicilian), Ahmed Ahmed (Egyptian-American), Maz Jobrani (Iranian-American) and Aron Kader join together to break down stereotypes through laugher. And it's hilarious.
Anyway, one of the guys (I think it was Maz Jobrani) got an e-mailed joke from one of his friends that saw the tour that read, "Hey Maz, saw your show, loved it! p.s. When's the next terrorist attack? haha."
Maz responded, "Great! Glad you liked it! p.s. Watch out the Ides of March, LOL."
Maz's e-mail account was shut down by the U.S. government for months while he tried to get it sorted out: "I'm a comedian!" quips Maz on stage about the experience. "I wrote "lol"! I wrote, "lol"!"
Anyway, there's no way I can do it justice, so check out the article linked above/check out their tour. The Axis of Evil tour is headed soon for Dubai, Sweden and Australia.
