Kambiz Hosseini 35 and Saman Arabi 37 are two expats from Iran, now hired by US government as public diplomats, through Voice of America, they have created a satiric show named "Parazit." The show that has a semblance to Jon Stewart's "Daily Show" is broadcasted weekly from Washington DC in Farsi. The show that pokes fun at the Islamic Republic, has created a steer in the Iranian communities. The following URL will take you to an interview of Jon Stewart with Hosseini and Arabi. Kudos to these guys for having the talent and the guts to portrait the absurdities of life in the Islamic regime in Iran with so much "gusto." These guys are absolutely hilarious. I wish you could understand Farsi.

Welcome to Beyond the Blue Domes, my personal blog. In earlier posts, I shared memories about growing up in Iran during the Shah's rule, fleeing the country at age thirty, raising a family in the United States, and facing the newness and challenges of American life. Lately I'm posting my thoughts on stories or news that have touched me. My theme is exploring social realities and the intersections within cultures, and preserving history. Thanks for stopping by.

I loved this! Thanks for posting it.
ReplyDeleteIt was new to me that there are 2 million viewers in Persia watching the Parazit show. It is terribly sad that the people of Iran is suppressed by the fundamentalistic views, and hopefully this show can open minds for a more knowledgeable view on the world.
