You guys are incredible...how the hell can you watch this and do not think this is 100% racist, bigotry and full of nonsensical bulls???? So what you all are agreeing to, is that Africa is a just a bunch of vine swinging morons??? Do you all think everyone lives in huts. What the hell are they talking about. I assume you guys are all white uh??? Would not surprise me one bit. You sit in your houses and watch the news that show just regions of a dilapidated area and assume the whole continent is that way.

Shame on you all... I'm pissed..

So you guys like the discussions uh? Well, I guess you would, when you have no first hand experience on any situation in Africa.
That whole discussion is just one stupid self righteous baloney. I'm not saying Africa hasn't got problems but to say such things, you might has well throw food on the floor and tell them to eat it from the floor. Look in your own backyard before you start judging others. The great USA isn't any better...

Charlie, it's the Onion. They pick on everything.

In reality, in Africa, so many of the power hungry dictators have destroyed their countries with their greed and lust for power as they exterminate all oppositions by any means possible. The AIDS epidemic has not helped either. And, slavery is still practiced today in those countries with Islamic influence. The inept United Nations, which is staffed by representatives of many of those tyrants that have destroyed their nations, has done nothing to resolve this problem.

The only countries prospering in Africa are those where there is some type of economic freedom being allowed for their populations.

So Ron, are you saying this is a TV show??? Well, it sure had me fooled. My apologies to all those here in this thread that I raged on. I had no idea it was a tv show of some kind. Yes it is true Ron , what you say about what you are saying. I never said it wasn't. Africa has many problems and most have to do with thier leaders... Well, that's another stroy and probably not for this topic. I just responded because of what was said. Öike I said. My deepest apologies.

Actually Charlie, it's not a TV show. It's a web site that parodies anything and everything.
It's supposed to be funny - Not to be taken seriously. :D

The Onion aint that funny these days

Paul,

"The Onion aint that funny these days"

Probably because satire has hit the wall of reality.
