"Serbs do not know how to joke" said the author of the funny announcement that made a boom around the world.
When he created this advertisement in an attempt to find a potential buyer for his 'YUGO' which he owns since 1988, the 43-year old American never thought this would hurt many Serbs.
He told journalists that he had no bad intentions, just to be funny.
"I have been told that I have shown a sense of humor since first grade - but many Serbs have experienced this ad as something personal" the American told a journalist from Belgrade's 'Politika' newspaper. He refused to give his name as he is a family person, while the death threats he received he does not consider as jokes.
"I have really received a lot of e-mails, and nearly half of them contain racist insults (at the expense of Americans), vulgar expressions and other bad words, including death threats. Serbs have no idea what humor is", said the 43-year old American, who's originally from Israel./kohaditore/

... You should watch the latest episode of Top Gear on the BBC, they drive around Albania in a Yugo (they put a Bentley engine in it haha) and joke about it, they even joke about Albanians been in the Mafia (Whatever country they go to, they make stereotypical jokes); back in the studio there was an Albanian woman in the audience and she said that she found the stereotypes funny and that she wasn't offended. At least she could take a joke, however some people don't have a sense of humour. Yugos are horrible cars though, however they're so horrible I actually want one to amuse me haha. |
