In Kadhafi, web finds a tragi-comic anti-hero (AFP)
BEIRUT (AFP) – An older Semite adage has it that the poorest fate is the digit that makes you laugh, and nowhere is that truer than in Libya today, where Moamer Kadhafi's outlandish antics are causing howls on the Internet.
Videos parody Kadhafi's just comprehendible speeches, patch cartoons and jokes -- whatever verging on the macabre -- proliferate on the web, caricaturing Libya's ruler of 41 eld as "mentally ill" or a "dangerous lunatic".
"Libyan television threatens to rebroadcast Kadhafi's style if the rebels do not surrender," goes digit of the Semite quips, referrring to his recent rambles.
At small 1,000 grouping hit died in the uprising against Kadhafi, who has shown the rebels little mercy, referring to them diversely as "rats", "microbes", youth plied with "hallucinogenic drugs" -- every patch claiming his grouping "love" him.
A Facebook tender has been ordered up in Arabic low the name: "Urgent: Al-Jazeera can't exhibit Kadhafi's style because the broadcast rights belong to MogaComedy," an Afrasian satire channel.
Mocking slogans abound on Facebook: "The grouping poverty to see the speech!" and "The grouping poverty the chair to undergo scrutiny treatment!", reprising the refrain of another Semite revolts: "The grouping poverty to alter downbound the regime".
"We will move talks with the rebels erst the drugs hit attrited off", scoffs added of the mountain of Facebook pages sacred to Kadhafi.
"Don't knock my madness, it's every I have;" "I shapely Libya, so it's mine to destroy"... The list goes on.
Another tender offers "a priceless accolade to whoever finds alive a creature as dopy as Kadhafi."
However, it is videos that are every the rage, watched by hundreds of thousands of people.
One has modify absent viral, with nearly 2.6 meg hits. It is a edifice vex remix prefabricated by an Israeli, DJ and performer Noy Alooshe, and entitled "Zenga Zenga."(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBY-0n4esNY&feature=player_embedded#at=43)
The recording features a rambling angry Khadafi style last week in which, among another things, he threatened to stem out rebels "inch by inch, home by home, street by alley."
Zanga effectuation alleyway in the African accent of Arabic.
Allooshe told foetoprotein that "one guy modify said that when Kadhafi water we will diversion to this remix in the streets of Tripoli -- that would really be something."
One clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7TPhaClESk) casts Kadhafi in the "Looney Tunes" cartoons as Ga-Daffy Duck, rank with fiery cackle.
Other satirists hit condemned to direct impersonation: at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_Oz4TWXpyU, a pseudo-Kadhafi is in a cave, his nous enwrapped in a headscarf, long membrane and the fateful sunglasses.
He rants against imperialism and the Arabs in a abash of gesticulations and shrugs, with exclusive a chicken for an audience. The shuttle is visibly startled by the actor's noisy and table-bashing.
Among videos in French, person and comic Jamel Debouzze has fun activity "Admiral monarch General Colonel Sadafi", a bilobed of past Asian dictator Saddam Hussein and Kadhafi, who collects titles including that of 'King of tralatitious African kings'. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=girbT6o1ErY)
"I did it every for you, my love. I threatened the UN, I terrorised the Commonwealth, I union digit or threesome very trenchant genocides... what more can I do?," Sadafi says to his mistress, who hassles him for imperfectness to attain it on to the newspapers' face pages.
Kadhafi the "ladies' man", ofttimes surrounded by women in military uniforms -- his "Amazons" -- also appears in a clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2J3CMfvyBSg) where his style is ordered to techno penalization to which lingerie-clad women dance.
The African regime's repression of the insurgents seems also to hit inspired African vocaliser Cheb Rochdi, who is most to promulgation a satirical road entitled "Kadhafi, the Arabs' Hitler."
But in the meantime, the status on the connector relic far from funny.
