defrogITEM: Iranian state television has aired the first episode of a satirical animated series called "OK" that makes fun of Presidente Obama and State Sec John Kerry.
It is available on the YouTubes. At least until someone files a takedown notice.
The BBC reports:
It’s actually kind of funny … provided you are (1) not an American or (2) an American capable of laughing at yrself. It’s also somewhat instructive to see what Iranians think of when they think of the USA (or at least the US Govt).
It will be interesting to see what conservatives make of it, since they’ve made it fairly clear if there’s one thing they hate more than Iran, it’s Obama. (Which means they have something in common with Iran, which is nice, I guess.)
That’s assuming they ever see this. But it would be hilarious if someone posted this on all the conservative blogs and news sites without identifying the source just to see how long it circulates before they find out the Iranians are behind it.
On the table,
This is dF

The BBC reports:
It parodies the Czech stop-motion animated movie "Pat and Mat", which is hugely popular in Iran, and features two hapless handymen who continually find themselves in stapstick-style situations. […]
The series is produced by the Centre for Digital Arts of Basij (voluntary force) which aims to produce a range of "new cultural products" such as video games, animation and multimedia software with an anti-West message.
