TV Satire in Iraq

Private teevee has come to Iraq, I read in a Reuters article.  The first privately owned Iraqi television station even launched satellite transmission, to more than 90 countries, on June 11.  It will be interesting to see how long they can manage to stay up and operating.  A taste of the satire.

"A journalist stops a man in a Baghdad street and asks about the security situation. The man cheerfully replies: “Security has vastly improved, we used to go home at 7:30 p.m. but now we can stay out as late as 7:45!"

The satire may not go over big, here, but I hope it does in Iraq.  I wish them success.
