What's not funny: the brutal violence and oppression going on in Libya right now. What is funny: people poking fun at Moammar Gadhafi. And there's a whole lotta that going on. First, there's the mock Twitter account supposedly authored by Gadhafi that popped up recently, brought to my attention by NPR Social Media Strategist Andy Carvin. Here's one of the latest Tweets from @momargaddafi:
Not to be outdone, Slate online magazine has a hilarious slide show of "Qaddafi's Doppelgangers." Like, apparently, the Olsen twins and Liza Minnelli:
I personally think Gadhafi is a dead ringer for former New York Governor David Paterson. And Fred Armisen. And Fred Armisen doing a send-up of David Paterson.
Who do you think he looks like?
