humor how it translates culturally

[Seveen]

i had a conversation with one of my friends from jamaica about humor

sometimes the things i find funny that relate to jamaica are not funny to jamaicans

and sometimes the things jamaicans find funny i find offensive

this little video clip is circulating facebook and getting that kind of mixed reaction

whatcha think . . .

While I enjoy a good parody from an art viewpoint (and find this very well done and in that respect funny), on a humor viewpoint I do not think it is funny.
