Yoo've got it coming (Sorry)
This isn't really comedy, of course, but it is a form of activism, and making John Yoo mildly uncomfortable for a few minutes seems appropriately ironic in light of the material in question.
EDIT: And yes, I'm fully aware the embedded video makes my page look all kinds of ugly.

I wouldn't be so sure that this "isn't really comedy". I chuckled quite a bit. Activism can totally also be comedy, especially with british dudes.
ReplyDeleteKudos to them for raising a voice. But I feel that the way they decided to raise it is something to be ashamed of.
ReplyDeleteThe seriousness of torture must be treated -- It's TORTURE! It's the cruel belittling of another human being (well, that's kind of an understatement)-- but we can get something done (about anyone who stoops so low) without deciding to stoop farther down ourselves.
The two acts are not equal, of course. I just give my opinion that such activism may have good ends, but could have better means.
