American Newspaper

Posted on July 19, 2009



A man is out walking in New York city when he sees a little girl being chased by a fierce dog. He fights off the dog by hitting the dog’s head with a stick and saves the girl’s life.

The girl’s mother rushes over to him: “Thank you so much for saving my little girl. You are a true hero. Tomorrow all the newspapers will have headlines about ‘Brave New Yorker Saves the Life of Young Girl’”

“But I’m not a New Yorker,” the man says.

“Oh, then it will say in all the newspapers Brave American Saves Life of Young Girl,” says the mother.

“But I’m not an American neither,” the man says.

“So, what are you then?” asks the mother.

“I’m an Iranian,” the man replied politely.

The next day he sees the newspaper headlines:

“Islamic Extremist Kills American Dog.”

    For crying out loud this is a great joke.. we moslems need to laugh at ourselfs. Look at what the irish have to put up with, you dont see them given out. Their great sports they are the only people in the whole wide world who don’t mind a joke about them. So why can we moslems not learn from the irish and not take ourselfs so bloody serious all the the time. Im sick to death of us moselms getting on our high horse over the smallist little joke about us and we declare war and threats like extream idoits we can sometimes be. I loved this joke ,,,

    This is a very funny joke. I don’t understand how anyone can be offended by this. Seriously, if you actually read you will realize that it is making fun of stupid and irrational american stereotypes and the anmerican media, not bashing on followers of Islam or people who originate in the Middle East.

  79. Tasha on February 27th, 2011 8:11 pm

    People, This is not racist. It just shows you how the newspaper will change stories around to fit the ideas of (some) of the american people. My father (who is an immigrant) and my friends (some of which are islamic) all found this joke funny. It’s more insulting towards americans than to immigrants/islamics.

  80. alvin jay on February 28th, 2011 9:27 pm

    It is not funny at all wat the fUcK. Hoo ever wrote this is stupid

  95. BobO on May 12th, 2011 4:29 pm

    This joke is making fun of the american media because the guy isn’t american and saying he is Iranian makes the american media sound foolish because they are saying oh hes iranian and killed a dog he can’t do any good to help out a little girl this joke is showing how sterotypical my country can be and everyone probably is i think almost everyone not us citizen sees most of us as fat hamburger eating idiots which can be right in a way what the media shows is how we perceive people I think.

  96. The random on May 13th, 2011 7:10 pm

    I didn’t really find this funny at all. I wasn’t offended by it or anything since i’m muslim myself, the joke just didn’t seem to make me laugh out loud like the rest of you.

  97. Rae on May 16th, 2011 6:19 pm

    This is both funny and sad all at the same time. If it makes us look deeper at ourselves and our prejudices maybe there’s hope of changing them. I mean, the man whatever race or religion (or even if we change the gender for that matter) was a hero, but that’s not how Americans typically view people of different faiths. Maybe it will wake some of us up so that we won’t be so small minded. I laughed at how narrow minded I saw things at first, then it got me to thinking much of a deeper meaning there is to this story.

  98. EjioforAugustine on May 18th, 2011 2:03 am

    Laffz! Zo zo funny, maybe some people didn’t read this particular joke, before making their comments, for me, i got the message it passed…

  104. Nick on June 7th, 2011 7:37 am

    It is a very funny joke against American media and how scared we are of everyone. If you dont get it then you are just an idiot. The kiddie jokes are on another page. Maybe they will be more your speed.

  122. kira on October 21st, 2011 3:16 pm

    I don’t know why but some people think muslims are terrorists…I’m a muslim and I SWEAR I DON’T CARRY A GUN TO SCHOOL SHEESH
    Islam means peace in arabic, even when we greet each other we say “Assalam alaikum” which means peace be upon you..
    Don’t take a bad picture of Muslims they are very kind and that’s why we don’t have bullies in school like how other people in america suffer…I saw that on t.v and I felt sorry for people who get bullied..really
    We are very loving and we love everyone and we don’t force people to be muslims like how most people think:(
    They hate us..but still we love them :) )

    Love and peace.

  123. lee on October 25th, 2011 2:32 pm

    its not racist, it merely points out the anti-Islamic sentiment and behavior of US mass media…that is why it’s funny, because in many ways (although an exaggeration) this happens daily. But jokes are never funny when they have to be explained—so if you didn’t already get it begin with, no laughter for you!

  124. aiza on October 28th, 2011 3:47 am

    means that American Newspaper always lies & am pity for all the readers
