Fight for your right, my darlings… The Free Syrian Army isn’t the only one
actively attempting to remove Bashar-Al-Assad from power. Al Jazeera reports, “A young acting troupe
called Masasit Mati launched a ground-breaking, finger-puppet show: Top Goon: Diaries
of a Little Dictator, which mocks the Syrian regime in ways never seen in
public before.”
These mother fuckers are killing it. Unfortunately, it seems finger-puppet work
can be fairly dangerous. All these guys
are living in exile. They are constantly
at risk of getting caught – thereby punished, jailed or killed. KILLED!
FOR FINGER PUPPETS! These actors produce
the show in secret and never reveal their faces – all for the love of
comedy. They preach non-violence and
have had a huge following on Facebook and YouTube.
I’m not sure if you caught the pictures of Mona masturbating
with a banana to a picture of Osama Bin Laden on this site but I think it’s
safe to say that shit wouldn’t fly elsewhere.
Whereas I’m using comedy in an attempt to find love in this world
(PLEASE LIKE ME!), Masasit Mati is using its artistic voice to preach a
non-violent message while educating through comedy. And while typically they use all five
fingers, occasionally they’re able to get their message across just by using
one.
