Re: Funny Arar

Are there really no comments? It is very hokey, but the girl playing the daughter is hot, and Carlo Rota is kind of amusing, generally.

Come on, "American idol...all idols must be smashed!" is kind of funny.

Speaking of which, I read that American Idol has finally acknowledged that the songs they stick the winners with suck and are going to hold a songwriting competition for the single released by the winner. This must be Drymala's dream.

The all idols must be smashed bit was pretty good, I'll admit. It didn't seem any less funny than most sitcoms, certainly.

Hmmm, the sitcom title makes me wonder if there are any good Muslim tribute bands out there . . .

Of course, the answer is yes. For example:

Sunni and Cher
Shia Wants Revenge
Mosque Def
Guitar Muslim (also Fatboy Muslim, Muslim Shady)
Madrassah Professor
Kaaba Ranks
Halal Cool J
Koran Koran

No w-lfs-n, I've told you before. You can't just make up a band name and then make up a tribute band for that imaginary band.

It's worth noting that it is hokey in the same manner as another very popular sitcome, Corner Gas.

in re: 1

that's Sitara Hewitt as the daughter.

I just put two and two together, and realized she is the sidekick on You Bet Your Ass, the cheesy gameshow on the Canadian Comedy Network that comes on after the 9-10 am replay of the Daily Show / Colbert. Her promo (that runs endlessly) is as "sexy sidekick Sitara - "I'm totally freaky."" And I am given to understand that the reference to her and "comedian" Stewart Francis as "Butt Buddies" may have some appeal for those gathered here. Whatever.

from her bio at the cheesy site.

"Of Pakistani and Welsh descent, Sitara resides in Toronto. She is fluent in Hindi and Urdu and has a soft spot for South Asian culture and films."
