Doorknobs? Are you kidding me? I know this is supposed to be nuffy, but it really offended me.

Very True, TJ! I felt offended initially.

Then I saw the humour behind it. The way I see it is obviously a satire of American views and perceptions. As an African, I think some of the questions I used to get asked about being an African when I lived down south where ridiculous.

I think that the clip is so ridiculous that it would make someone who had never been to Africa question his or her personal views of the African continent, which in turn opens up dialogue. Surely trading in sticks is ridiculous, and they did point out an important fact…. EXPLOITATION

Yeah it is humor and sarcasm but I was getting irritated and somewhat offended. You can't be too sure about some folks!
