#2 No, They have great satire. They lampoon their own politicians and military like we can never do. One has to know some urdu to grasp it, but it's hilarious. Very few performers and actors have that luxury though. It's maybe because they ally with certain parties or have received national awards in the past. Some awesome talents and a lot of nerve.

Stares are mutable, one can never stop the march of art.

Not everybody is a retarded beast in this shithole, but of course that's no redeeming quality for the State itself. Just the fact that they're doing this means the humor has started to get to the junta.
