those inexplicable iranians

am i the only one that finds the youtube clips from the iranian protests subtly bizarre? you have to watch closely. a good example is this one. i narrate it this way. (1) we’re gonna kick you off your motorbike, you police-state stooge. (2) bike on fire… righteous! (3) nothing personal… have some water…. you okay?

i think there’s a deep cultural disconnect that comes out if you watch these videos… i truly can’t understand what i see. here’s another example… my narration… (1) i’m gonna hit you with a club. (2) i’m gonna kick you. (3) no! don’t hit me!… oh… i hope my bus comes on time.

Agreed about the cultural disconnect.

btw the last one looks to me exactly like a bunch of kindergartners playing an overly aggressive game of tag.

I watched the cnn footage on this for a while the other day. Wolf Blitzer kept saying it was “disturbing”, and I kept watching and thinking “Well, I can’t even really tell what’s going on, but it sort of just looks like people running around. I certainly can’t follow the narrative enough to be ‘disturbed’”. Maybe we should show them the Rodney King video and the subsequent rioting and see what they say about it: “Is this some sort of festival or something? What are all those people DOING?! What is going ON there?! Americans are weird…”
