Hookah story on "The Daily Show"


Recommended Posts

[quote name='Alqoshnia']anybody got a light?..................uummm.....little bit of water.........some coals..............tin foil...................flavored tobacco?? Just a light? lol[/quote]That was the funniest part.I disagreed with that middle east "expert" opinion that soldiers are responsible for the increased use of hookahs.I'm quite sure the influx of Middle Eastererns opening hookah lounges has contributed far greater.

Comedy Central is blocked here at work but I got an email from a friend that knows I am into hookahs now. I will have to check it out when I get home. For those of you that can, enjoy it now.

Yeah, I started a thread on this when it originally aired.  I really agree with zombie.  This certainly did more harm than good.

This is comedy. The Daily Show is not out to do harm or good for the hookah. It is not a hookah awareness project. It is a comedy show. If we can't laugh at ourselves, well... I laughed. "It's like being in a candy store, that's on fire!"

yeah, i dont have the cable right now.  i've been missing out on a lot of things.  but i don't think the daily show is out there changing the opinions of the masses.  honestly, the daily show isn't something to be taken very serious ... or is it?

[/quote] Thats exactly what I said.Get a sense of humor guys!The daily show doesn't change minds any more than any other news program; but they are certainly influential in the same sense. They poke fun at everything, and expose the absurdity behind it. Part of why I love em.

I just randomly caught it last night. I never watch comedy central, and I was just getting ready to go to the lounge (10 minutes late) when I just switched the TV on. Funny stuff!It is the Daily Show, people, it doesn't take anything seriously.P.S. Fumari opened in 1996, San Diego is the center of hookah in the US.

Thought this was kind of cool...I was watching Cash Cab the other day and he asked a bunch of ladies in similar phrasing, "what is a middle eastern tobacco pipe that uses water filtration and hoses?", and it didn't take them very long to answer it, though I'm sure that wasn't the exact wording.
