Gaddafi says Coke is African

Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi claims Coca Cola is African and wants a share of the money.

He says Coca-Cola should pay a percentage of every can or bottle sold to governments across the continent.

Speaking at a celebration marking the seventh anniversary of the African Union, Gaddafi said: "The essential ingredients for Coca Cola come from African plants and so compensation must be paid to us."

The Libyan leader is known for his bizarre claims and in the past claimed William Shakespeare was actually an Arab immigrant to England called Sheikh Zubeir.

I didn't even know this guy was still in power in Libya.

[Pugnate]

I must admit I didn't either. It is like the comics stopped making fun of him.

[Quemaqua]

Which begs the question: why?  He's obviously still funny.

[Pugnate]

lol Que.

I guess George Bush just makes for better material.

[Quemaqua]

Better is relative.  Personally, I'm fucking sick of hearing about the guy.  Not because I care about him one way or the other, but because I'm just fucking sick of hearing people talk about him.

[Pugnate]

I know what you mean. Anything I hear too much of starts irritating me. It is a bit of a backfire for the comics.

That's why I don't watch TV too much save Leno and Conan. The rest I download/buy.

Honestly, I can't stand comedy these days.  There are very, very few comedy shows (as in late-nite or standup stuph) that I can stomach.  They're either boring, offensive, or overly political, and nearly all of them just aren't that funny.  90% of Comedy Central is dead to me, and I used to watch the channel pretty much all the time 4 years ago.

[Pugnate]

I find Conan hilarious still.

Leno is ok, but I watch it for the extra stuff he does. That's about it. I hate Letterman. Interestingly enough, it was announced that Conan was going to replace Letterman in a few years.

There is this comedian I love named Mike Birbiglia.  You should check him out Que. He's not really political or ultra crude.

Haha Pug you just reminded of the Arabic name "Zubair" haha

The name's literal meaning is "Lion" (it's one of many names that has that meaning). However the two syllabels "Zub" and "Air" are both just different words for "penis" in colloquial Arabic Basically it's "Penispenis"

So people have stopped naming their children "Zubair" for obvious reasons. It's a pretty old-fashioned name now.

But yeah, that Gaddafi is pretty hilarious He even looks kinda funny Although I agree with him on this one only because I'd love to see multinational corporations get screwed!

Hey Xessive you've heard that Robin Williams concert right? The one where he compares Colonel Gaddafi to Colonel Sanders from KFC? That was hilarious.

"They call him Colonel Gaddafi. Sounds like he should have a terrorist chicken franchise."

Robin Williams is amazing. I saw RV, which sucked, but Williams almost saved it.
