The link above is to a digital short
that aired on Saturday Night Live. I thought it was a good video to post on the
blog because it really shows Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s ideas and also gives insight to how America
portrays his power. Although Saturday Night Live is making a joke out of the situation,
I believe that it provides valuable information on his thoughts. It talks about
his politics, his beliefs and what America thinks of him. The writer of this
digital short got the information to put in the song from the media around the
world. The author wrote this song to be funny, but I also believe it does a
great job of identifying Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s absurd principles. The general
impression given from the video is that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is an irrational
leader that us Americans are making a joke out of. The interesting thing about
this video is that social media and American independence gives us the power to
make videos mocking other political leaders and allows us to voice our opinion.
This video did not cause any controversy here but if it was created and shown
in Iran, it would have caused many problems.
I thought it was kind of funny! It does go perfectly with our topic since you said that the writer got all his information from social media sources. This makes me wonder, and I'm sure if I Google it I will find something, if there are videos like this of our leaders or people in government. Do people from other countries also do this to us? Actually, I'm pretty sure people from our own country do this to us! I will do a search and see what I can find.
