Self Righteous Pedant Moved to Tears of Joy

There’s this guy, he used to be a spokesman for the Northern Alliance, his name is Sayed Sardar Ahmad Ahmadi, and now he works as in the Afghan Foreign Consular office in New York. Here’s the thing that’s really going to surprise you, though. He used to be in the Taliban, I know because I read about him on a website called Right Wing News. Or could it be that the “humor” writer for Right Wing News, in an effort to come up with Afghan sounding names, combed through the internet for one and just planted any old name into his fake article.

I’m as guilty as the next guy when it comes to trying to make a joke of everything, but at least, if I was trying to make a joke about a Taliban type guy, I’d make sure to not give him the name of one of his enemies. That’s like mixing up Condi Rice with Muqtada al Sadr.

I wonder if Sayed Sardar Ahmad Ahmadi has had to deal with any backlash over the use of his name by Right Wing News. Supposing he was on match dot com and met some nice chick, and they had a lunch date in an Indian restaurant (Note to Right Wing News, India supported the Northern Alliance, so that is why in my fictional account of his match dot com date I am supposing that they would chose to go to an Indian restaurant. You morons probably would have placed him in a Pakistani restaurant run by the ISI with Mullah Omar working as the maitre’d.) and after the date, she really digs him, so she says to her friend, you know I met this great guy, and the friend says, be sure to google him, because you can get a lot of information from the internet on people. And, what does she find when she googles his name? Some site calling him a member of the Taliban. And even though it’s a joke site, she’s so furious to find out that he’s with the Taliban that she can’t even bear to read the fine details, instead she has him thrown in jail. I mean, that would totally suck.
