Libyan leader Col. Moammar Gadhafi speaking on Libyan State TV on Tuesday, February 22, 2011
(Al Jazeera)
Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, who appears to be on his way out, is getting his share of satirical punches on the viral video circuit. A video mocking Gadhafi has gone viral, getting over 650,000 hits on YouTube, and has been met with postive reviews from the Arab community, especially in Libya. Here's the twist — the video was made by a Jewish Israeli, Noy Alooshe, a journalist, musician and internet buff.
Alooshe used effects like AutoTune, a word that Gadhafi seemed to have a fondness for (zanqa, Arabic for "alleyway"), and an American rap beat to put together the spoof.
