An inept security guard, a sour-faced secretary and a bumbling Minister of Garbage?
Paging Ricky Gervais, did you know your template for the original British hit show "The Office" is about to be redone again? It seems that way judging by a clip posted on blogs reportedly for a new show in Afghanistan called "The Ministry." The mockumentary tone of the show is just like the British and American version, which stars Steve Carell, but Afghanistan's "The Ministry" will tackle topics more serious than the shows in the West.
ToloTV, a company that began broadcasting in Afghanistan in 2004, will give its audience in the war-torn country "Office"-esque episodes focused on political corruption, the Washington Post reports.

Comedy gold, right?
Who the hell is Ricky Jarvais?
Why is there a random Wookie roar in the middle of it?
Just a few seconds after the Wookie roar, the lady mentions something about Jawas.
Ricky Jarvais? Paging someone, anyone who can use Google...
So, your comment about Ricky "Jarvais" and how the OP wasn't intelligent enough to Google actually made you sound dumb. I assume Lazlo is referring to the fact that his name is actually Ricky GERVAIS. Next time, instead of making fun of others, make sure you can't also be proven wrong.
Um, I wasn't talking about lazlo, I was talking about the writer of the article. Now who sounds dumb...
Oh, I'm *sure* it'll be a barrel of laughs.
The ratings for this will just EXPLODE 🙂
Anything to make the right-wing thugs in Washington look good as this gives them something more to brag about. Hoe revolting!!!
Sorry folks for the missprint above. I meant "How", not "Hoe"!
This looks hilarious...I love The Office.
That's "Gervais," you idiot.
I didn't know they had TV in Afghanistan...
Hello, I'm Ricky Jarvais. I think you might have me confused with British comedian Ricky Gervais. I certainly did not create The Office. I do, however, work in an office.
Looks almost like a government attempt to humorize corruption.... then the people will just say "Ohhhh Ministry, you little Dickens".... riiiiight.
They have TV in Afghanistan?
LOL yes
wow XD this looks great
Do you think they will have an episode dealing with womens issues?
Of course they will have an episode dealing with womens' issues, like...how to behead one, how to fit a burka, how to beat one for not obeying the islamic or sharia law, and otherwise how to berate, demean, harrass, deflate, ridicule a woman and take away any hope for a future that has some shred of equality. Really...ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer.
