Make It Bahrain

October 20, 2008
2 Comments

Just in case ppl haven’t seen it yet, I wouldn’t want something so remarkable to get lost in the comments. Thanks to Kevin “Todomundo” Driscoll for the link and, yep, I’ve already put Ted “Kufiyah-Spotting” Swedenburg on the case —

Can anyone tell me, though, how Al-Jazeera is [being used in?] framing this clip? I only know a handful of curses in Arabic.

    i could be wrong but i think this is more final cut pro than al-jareeza flow.

    the split screen part is suspect.

    You know, I was wondering that the first time I saw it.

    Whether or not it’s actually an Al-Jazeera broadcast, obv, it’s still a very interesting text.
