Yes the footage is excellent and I did chuckle when I watched it. It made it all look very real! It just shows how easy it is to manipulate people. Especially that array of not so bright!
You are so right, humour is being eradicated, we can't say anything now for fear of upsetting someone I think!
We had some excellent comedians and TV shows or commercials that had one laughing, one seldom hears it anymore, that is sad!
Live or recorded for TV Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Lenny Bruce, Woody Allen, Chris Rock, Steve Martin. Earlier years in silent shows with Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd to name but a few.
Now we beat ourselves up laughing/crying at world leaders.
