'Sitcom about terrorists' makes waves -Erez Ronen

"Ahmed and Salim", a provocative animated web series that uses very dark humor to describe the life of the two sons of an Arab arch-terrorist, is becoming increasingly popular with surfers, while at same time stirring much controversy.

The series was created by two Israelis, Or Paz and Tom Trager, who define it as "a sitcom about terrorists." Six four-minute episodes of "Ahmed and Salim" have already been uploaded to the internet.

In an episode, which was taken off YouTube following complaints by shocked surfers, the father dreams he has become a "stinking Jewish rabbi," and his sons do what they were taught to do when encountering a Jew and shoot him in the testicles.

Over half a million surfers have already watched the first episode. The other episodes boast lower, yet also impressive figures.

Paz and Trager hope to eventually be able to turn the series into a television production, but admit that so far no one has made them an offer to this effect.

"We don't really care… if people get hurt. Frankly it even makes us happy, because it means we did a good job," they concluded.
