An Interesting Video




I don't know if this is a tongue in the cheek send up. Perhaps some American reader could enlighten me

This video won't come up for me...is there a URL I could see it on?

Yes, the video is a "put-on" to show the idiocy of the Left about PC and multiculturalism.

Heh! that was really good. The flying imams were thrown out by a judge in Minneapolis, some sanity still exists in the U.S.A., the set piece is a comedy skit on the typical ambulance chaser advertising that some of our lower order of slime law firms run in the U.S., typically late night TV, asking you to join some class action lawsuit or other, such as for mesothelioma (inhaling asbestos particles) or some other idiotic mass hysteria over bad dentists, canned fish or some such. It is very close to the real thing in the way it is presented and narrated, of course we would not expect all of our cousins in the U.K. to be familiar with old Benedict Arnold, who was hung from the gallows for treason (IE helping the Brits during the war of independence.... 1776 or therabouts). Love that "Ben Arnold" law office bit. It is almost Pythonesque but close enouh to reality to make one take pause.

Of course it's a send-up! Who would advertise on TV to defend terrorists. Anyway, you may not have known this, but Benedict Arnold is a famous traitor to the revolutionary cause during the American colonies' war for independence. Hence, the name of the "law firm" is Ben Arnold & Associates. Funny video.
