Just quit already

Alright, time for another non comical piece. What I am about to write might cause a bit of controversy, but that is a risk I'm willing to take.

For better or worse, I have never really seen the humor in shows like "Balls of steel". Perhaps I'm too much of an academic to see the fun in acting like a complete retard, I don't know.

Case in point, Swedish comedian Nour El-Refai, a woman completely void of good judgment - any other explanation escapes me - was two years ago convicted of sexual harassment after having shown her breasts to a man. It was supposed to be a joke for the Swedish version of Balls of steel, but nobody saw the humor in it. Now, she's at it again. Apparently, while recording an upcoming edition of the show, she showed her vagina to tourists while yelling "women have hairy pussies, this is how it looks".

Now, please tell me how that is fucking funny.

A year ago Nour took a lot of heat for her performances at the Swedish Eurovision tryouts. I actually defended her publically, stating that humor is like sexual preference and that even though a majority of people don't find her funny, you cannot draw the conclusion that nobody does. However, I will back her up no more. It has become ever so apparent that if there ever was an exception to the rule, she would be it.

I don't know if her act is a cry for attention or a call for help. I honestly wouldn't rule the latter out, in which case this whole thing is downright tragic. Either way, for the love of all that is holy, change your career, Nour. Right now, you are a disgrace to yourself as well as to the entire world of comedy and, despite not having a funny atom in your entire body, a complete and utter joke. To make matter worse, there isn't anything even remotely funny about that either.
