Like Gábor said before me: better late than never.
I was just watching the newest episode of Family Guy the other and a gig particularly caught my attention.

Apart from making me laugh this made me remember another similar pun just from the episode a week before:

The two together did a couple of things in my mind:
It changed my motto to: ALLAHU AKBAR :D
And it made me wonder how Arabs would feel when they watch these. Because I think even though these are hilarious, they still tend to carry a bit of discriminatory charge against Muslims. If someone watches shows like this a lot he/she will think that suicide bombing for Arabs is like going to the cinema for Americans. And there I was thinking that discrimination in America belonged to the past. (Then again there was 9/11 which changed America quite a bit.)
Anyways, I know that watching family guy is infantile and someday I do intend to wean off of it. But not until I find it funny and I think that's years away from now...
