Two countries walk into a bar, because there was an offer for any couple whose names start with the same letter.

My people could have alerted the world about the massacres and the threat of genocide via Twitter and Facebook. Surely, the global community would have come to our help. And if that hadn’t worked, we would have held our children and cats into the camera and uploaded the videos on YouTube. That might seem a bit desperate, even cheesy, but nobody would have remained untouched. Too bad that these social media came too late. We could still be alive.”
