Studio Journal

Yanks, Sox and Ground Zero Mosques

The above link is to a topical skit that I wrote and shot in the hight of the ground zero mosque controversy at the end of the summer. It is the latest video that I have done.

I enjoy writing topical humor because it allows for me to put the particular topical issue into my own perspective. This video also follows the formula of a sketch, but would not be widely viewed as a great sketch because of the coy parallel between the mosque controversy and Yankees/Red Sox rivalry.

If you view the comments on this video, you'll see that people either loved it or hated it. It stirred up debates on the comment section of the youtube link, as well as debates on other sites and blogs on which this video has been embedded. As the creator of the video, I am very proud that it is significant enough to stir up such passion in the viewers (for good or bad).
