Further to my previous post, a spoof on suicide bombing can be funny. The clip below was filmed on Rothschild Boulevard in Tel Aviv back in 2002 (ignore the opening credit that says 2005 - they be lyin' ;) ). The team behind the clip is called Keta Keta, and they got tons of publicity for the creativity and humour.
The year 2002 was a strange, strange time: there were several suicide bombings per week in Tel Aviv over a period of months (it was a major relief when the number declined to "only" a couple per month), but somehow normal life continued - even though sitting in a cafe, traveling on a bus or entering a shopping mall was a high-risk proposition. I think the clip really captures the zeitgeist of fighting fear with irreverent humour that almost - but not quite - crosses the line into the realm of tastelessness.
