At least someone in this country has a sense of humor: TV commercial spoofs Mossad spy in Iran

At least someone in this country has a sense of humor. A new television commercial spoofs the presence of Mossad spies in Iran.

Let's go to the videotape (in Hebrew with English subtitles). An explanation will follow.



And the explanation....

The clip shows TV stars of an Israeli show that is shown on HOT cable TV. The four are notified that someone is watching their show far off in Iran and, disguised as Muslim women, they set out to check it out. After mentioning that they have a problem finding Kosher food in Iran, the TV characters find a Mossad agent who is in on undercover duty, overlooking the Iranian nuclear plant.

The agent, who could be seen by some as resembling Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, explains that he has a tablet with which he watches episodes of their show.

As one of the dressed-up Israelis holds on to the tablet and asks about one of the applications, he presses on it - it is understood that the tablet has also operative capabilities - and the nuclear plant explodes at once.

"What?", says the Israeli who just caused a very significant explosion, "It's just another mysterious explosion in Iran."

The commercial has not gone unnoticed by news agencies. China Central TV’s Israeli correspondent posted it at the end of her report on the assassination of the nuclear scientist, noticing that it “was meant to be funny, but there is no ignoring the raw reality and timing of this ad – or the final message.”

Heh.
