This blogger would like to praise the courage of the Comedians after watching the Jokes of the Anyein performance , which is usually combined with the traditional dance with the jokes.
However the Jokes made by the famous comedians, Godzilla, King Kong,and the others make all of us laughing at the same times feel deep sorrow as we all know that these comedians were crying in their heart while making the Jokes to express the feeling for the 50 millions Burmese, who’s mouths were sealed by the Military Junta.
For the non Burmese readers I am unable to translate their jokes as they smartly and bravely used the Myanmar Language, Culture and tradition with current situation of Burma in indirect words. Myanmar Language is difficult to translate in its true essence as meaning may change with different intonation.
Following is my favourite quote regarding humor and the fight for democracy which was originally from Irrawaddy On-line.

Do it your self Democracy Burmese Style
“There has been, of course, the clever use of new technologies such as mobile phones and the Internet, but some of the methods used—like invocation of cultural symbols or spreading of subversive jokes about the junta—are difficult to understand as “political activity” by many outsiders. “
Excerpt from Irrawaddy,
The generals who run Burma don’t like it when the joke’s on them, but political satire and humor are alive in military-ruled Burma.
A popular VCD depicting a traditional anyein performance is now selling like hot cakes in Burma. An anyein is like a variety show with comedians, singing and dancing.
The performance took place at Myaw Zin Gyun near Rangoon’s lake Kan Daw Gyi on November 24.
Well-known comedians including Godzilla, King Kong and Kyaw Htoo and four comedians known as “Thee Lay Thee” performed live in spite of a warning from authorities.
Before going on stage, Godzilla was asked to sign a document saying he would not make political jokes.
The comedian troupe is known as “Say Young Sone” (The Colorful).
