Palestinian Saturday Morning TV, Vampire Music & Taiwan

Over at No Parasan!, there’s a link to a Palestinian anti-Jewish television cartoon.  It’s about 5 or 6 minutes long, complete with a scary, ominous tune* from Coppola’s Dracula movie.  Nice, wholesome stuff to entertain the tots, huh?  The ultimate resolution to the story is, uhh…imaginative, though for my money it doesn’t quite reach the sublime level of Captain Kirk’s renowned Corbomite Maneuver.


* Interestingly enough, many Taiwanese don’t find this piece, Vampire Hunters (Track #2 from the Bram Stoker’s Dracula OST), to be particularly creepy.  To me, the song conjures up images of vampires, coffins and haunted houses.  However, a lot of Taiwanese who hear it instead think of insurance (of all things), because the tune has been played ad nauseum here as the accompaniment to a television commercial for a local insurance company.

Imagine if they’d used it for a diaper ad.
