Then we should be able to find those "facts" in the other forms of expression too, not only and only in the jokes. someone should come up with proper reasoning and should pin point the ommission/commission or negligences. If Zardari is responsible for terrorist attacks, the power crisis, high inflation and the trade deficit.. then it should be told that how is he reponsible for these things.. n i think its quite easy to form generic perception these days just see on today's Yahoo news "Pakistan Court declines treason case against Musharraf" and then find the real story from any of the pakistani news website.

Re: # 28
Shaba ....
source of jokes, most often, are facts and generic perception about a person or a race or a culture...I am sure, it is hard to prevent jokes....

purposely maligning someone and a joke on someone are two different things and in pakistan the politics in general and some politicians in particular have been being purposely maligned through different means and tehcniques, most of the times seem to be orginated from the organised "hidden forces" for their own "hidden reasons".
one has to admit that well written series of jokes aimining at a paticluar politician do make an opinion against him and malign him. You dont have to give any reason, you dont have to base your jokes on any fact/proof and yet you sucessfully malign a person in pakistan. That seems to be the easiest and most effective way to malign somebody. Yes if the jokes are solely meant to make people laugh there should be no problem with them. Its ironical that we can easily forget/forgive people reacting in a funny way to the things said about them which are based on facts but yet we dont forgive/ignore a person irritatingly reacting to the repeated things said against him which are not supported by any fact. We dont mind a ruler in pakistan ousting a journalist of Daily Telegraph from Pakistan for writing an article against him based on facts and reasoning, it doesnt seems funny to us at all, we dont mind a ruler to replace an independent election observer body of U.S. with a government sponsored organisation (which had no experience as to observing elections at all ) only because the former conducted a survey, the result of which, showed the ruler to be quite an unpopular in Pakistan. we easily ignore the rulers here not allowing to common wealth to observe election only because they dont say "democratic" to an "undemoractic act". I think things like these are the real funny and embarassing things in Pakistan . things repeated in the jokes, without caring about the origin of the joke, tends to become a "truth" one day, a truth which permits no question. without being in favour or against anybody, I think a person is justified to take such jokes seriously which are entailed to such serious results.

#18 Bhatti sahib: Any nation that can joke about its political leaders this way can never be subjugated the way Zardari thinks he can subjugate the Pakistani nation (i.e. the way landlords like the Bhuttos subjugate peasants in Sindh).

President Zardari's ban on sms jokes just exposes his weakness and ego. this further makes him an object of ridicule. his Indian counterpart is Ms Mayawati, Chief Minister of UP. displaying similar dictatorial traits, she banned communities on Orkut.com hating her.

Re: # 12
sounds like the ZAB era when Mir Rasool Bakhsh Talpoor was the Gov. Sindh and the Chancellor too, he was educated upto middle school only, a KU student ridiculed him during convocation which culminated a no convocation for many years to come.

Some funny Sms going around in Pakistan:

Source: http://freshfunnysms.blogspot.com/search/label/Zardari%20Sms%20Jokes


Presid ent Zardari umrah karne gaye,
Jab woh shaitan ko pathar maarne lage to awaz aayi...
Guru...
Aisa karo ge to kon aaye ga....
---------
Essay on Zardari

Aap 1950 mein paida hue,
Aap ne begairtii ki ibtedai taleem apne mohallay ke school se haasil ki,
Aur is fun mein aala taleem ek naam war daaku se li,
Jab Dakait honey ka certificate haasil kiya to aap ki umer sirf 16 saal thi,
Ye aap ka Record hai.
Phir be-Nazeer se shaadi kar ke aap ne professional begairtii ka aghaaz kiya,
Aur phir Police ki pakar mein aanay ke baad aap ne 10 saal jail mein Araam kiya.
Rishwat de ker jail se bahar aanay ke baad aap ne apni biwi ko katal karwaya,
Aur kursi-e-Sadarat pe aa bethay,
Aur mulk lootney mein apna maqam banaya.
Aur ab aap ki tareekh wafat ka sab ko intezar hai....
---------------
Yaad rakho, Talaq kisi maslay ka hal nahi hai,
Ager biwi se ikhtelaf ho to us ko "Qatal" karwa do".
(Allama Asif Zardari)
(Kitab al-baigairat, page # 70...)
-------------------
Aur barbaad ho gaya woh shaks,
Jis ne kisi police wale ko dekha aur rishwat na di.
Molana Asif Ali Zardari...
-------------------
Meri zalalat daikh kar Zardari bhi yah kehty hue Medan mein aa gaya Faraz..........
Aaa daikhain zara kis mein kitna hai dam.....
-------------------
Zardari cycle pe ja raha tha.
Nawaz sharif mila or bola:
Allah ke nam pe kuch tu de do Sayen.
Zardari: Chal aa beth.
Tujh ko aik aur ‘Chakkar’ Deta hoon.
--------------------
Zardari ko dekha to aisa laga
Jaise khana kharab,
Jaise total azaab,
Jaise Aadi faqeer,
Jaise murda zameer,
Jaise Naasoor ho koii sartaa howaa,
Ek zardari ko dekha to aisa laga,
Jaise bijli ka taar
Jaise khanjar ki dhaar,
Jaise dozakh ki aag,
Jaise zehrila naag,
Jaise garmi ki dhoop
Jaise shetan ka roop.....
----------------
G kerda bai g kerda
Tinu lamya pawan ji kerda
G kerda bai g kerda
tinu jutyan lawan g kerda
1 Wari
O Zardari
1 Wari
O Zardari
Tu hath merey cherh KUTTEYA!
------------------------
Zardari ki zameen shad bad,
Bijli aaye 8 ghantay baad,

Tu nishan-e-Curruption Aalishan, Arz-e-Zardaristan,
Shad Baad Sindh rahy Aabad,

Zardari ki Zameen ka Nizam,
Aatay, Gas, Bijli ka Bohraan,

Qaum Mulk Sab Gharaq,
Nawaz, Wakeel Painda-Tabinda baad,

Benazir dunya se farar,
Parchamay sitara-o-Halal,

Khoon main ranga sara saal,
Bhool apna mazi shan-e-Haal, Jan-e-Istaqlal,

Saye-e-America,
Sar pe Sawar!
---------------------
Haqeqat Thi Par Khuwab Nikla,
Door Tha Par Pass Nikla,
Me is Kambakht Ko Kia Kahon "FARAZ",
Ye Zardari To MUSHARAF Ka Bhi Baap nikla.........!!!!
---------------------
Ager tum kisi gareeb ko us ka Haq nahi dila sakte,
To jo us ke pass hai, Woh bhi cheen lo.
Molana Asif Zardari
-----------------
Ye mulk hamare buzrugo ne bari qurbani de ke haasil kiya hai,
Aur mein yahan isi liye aaya hoon taa'ke us qurbani ka gosht kha sakun.
Molana Asif Zardari
-----------------------
Ab me karoonga mara mari
Mere naam hai zardari
Main ne pehle apni B.V mari
Ab hai poori qoum ki bari
Dil khol k loton ga
Qoum ki raqum Sari ki Sari..
------------------------
Once a Molvi went 2 Zardarii
&
Said !
"Makhlooq ko mat Tang kia kero Werna Allah ka Aazab ayega "
Zardari said!
Bholay Badshao ! Mein he wo Azaab hoon jo aa Chuka hai..
-----------------------
Ek Zardari mota taza tha,
Jo mazay se mulk ko khata tha.
Ding Dong.
Ding Dong.
Zardari ne beth k socha k,
Bibi ko dengy dhoka.
Bibi ko marengy goli,
Or khaengy mulk main Ding Dong.
Ding Dong.
Ding Dong.
Par Army bari siyani thi
Or Zardari ki shamat aani thi.
Par army bech se nikal gai,
Kyon k mushrraf ki niyat badal gai,
Phir Zardari ban gay naya Don
Ding Dong.
Ding Dong.
Pakistan ki siyasat bubble gum.
-----------------------
Pakistani to American: Tum choron k sath kya Salook karte ho?
American: Hum unke sath bohat acha salook karte hain. Un k khany peeney ki her cheez ka khayal rakhte hain.
Pakistani: Bas! ye to kuch bhi nahi, Tum abhi hum se bohat peechay ho.
Hum to choron ko President bana dete hain.
-----------------------
Zardari ka Kutta Zardari se rooth gaya.
Jaa k ganday naalay main kood gaya.
Doobtay huye bola ab aur zulm nahi sahengy.
Ek ghar main 2 kuttay nahi rahengay
