| | | | | Re: Do you think these videos are funny? My own opinion - It not funny. What value does it have? The people who need to learn from these videos would not see anything wrong. They would approve. As Gyani ji says, this is the kind of discussion found on many forums. The phrases could be lifted right from the page. There is a discussion like this one going on in facebook right now. Utterly incredible. | | The following members appreciate Narayanjot Kaur Ji for the above message. | |

Looks like some 'punk' did it. A teenager perhaps.
Bottom line is, this isn't at all funny but disgusting. There are many Pakistani created videos dubbed as well which use dirty language in Punjabi because it makes one laugh. But this one is targeting the Punjabi people in particular, making fun of their tradition and culture, therefore I will mark this type as morally degrading. Nobody welcomes such remarks. As I said, some teenager got a kick out of this mischievous deed. | | The following members appreciate Astroboy Ji for the above message. | |

| | | | | Re: Do you think these videos are funny? I'm afraid that I will represent a minority opinion. I must be honest here. The first time I saw them, I laughed until tears ran down my cheeks. I totally recognised the foul-mouthed gangsta and the well-meaning but naive young lady. It was laughter of recognition of the situation and appreciation at seeing this honestly depicted. They both seem to like real members of our community except--- Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=30678
This is totally toned down! The gangsta would be screaming and very threatening and suggesting acts both physically impossible and much more obscene than anything in these videos.
I have stopped laughing now; this type of video, funny or not, is damaging to our reputation. Do we want others to see this underbelly, creepy-dirty side of our community? Of course not! The answer, however, is not censorship, but housecleaning. We need to clean up, not sweep the dirt under the carpet.
So let us be tough, strong Sikhs, face the problem and solve it, so if something like this is made, we can counter with a truthful, "That just isn't true." | | The following members appreciate Mai Harinder Kaur Ji for the above message. | |
