The thing is, they tend to get up in arms about these things so easily. When the said video clip came out, it was defnitely in good taste, now when someone makes it a ringtone suddenly the joke's over.

So someone got offended with this act. Shame. Don't take it so personally. The silly part of this is someone in South Africa complaining about a show based in the United States. Has Khan actually watched the show? Probably not. Out of every Muslim residing in the country, is he the only person to complain ? And they want to shut it down ? How many people are tired of the way politics are conducted in South Africa. Maybe some folks should complain about Ivy. Make up some story about her and maybe she will also be told to go. When stories such as this one make international headlines on one of the largest online newspapers in the United States, it sure gives the Americans the idea that all us South Africans are good for is complaining. Read it on FoxNews.com here.

Is it really that offensive???, there is so much negativity in the world why can't we have a little humor, in our lives.

One man's comedy is another's insult. It depends on the culture.
If we need Muslims in Indonesia, Pakistan, Malaysia etc to be friendly
with us against extremists we should try to give something too.
Its not a sign of weakness either.
We should have the right to criticise extremists and religious influences
on these people but do it with validity and with research, you know.
You clearly have no sense of humour.
Go to a Heavy Weight Comedy Jam. No one is left out by the comedians - and NO ONE complains. So don't preach to me about comedy being insulting, the reasons we are in this f**cked up situation the world finds itself in is that not everyone can laugh at themselves. You are clearly not part of the solution.
