In bad taste

Published December 6, 2008

I HAD always been a fan of the 'Four-man show' on a local channel.

It was always good to see political parodies with intellectual humour. However, I switched off the channel utterly disgusted.

I expected that the entertainment department would show class. However, they have behaved as uneducated as imaginable when they confused harmless fun with personal attacks on character of a defence analyst.

It was also an act of indecency when our religiously revered figures like Muhammad Bin Qasim and Tipu Sultan were also mentioned time and again in highly disrespectful context.

The entertainment department needs to get its act together.

The fine line between humour and slander has already been crossed.
