Jon Stewart's support of Bassem Youssef after the Egyptian comedian got locked up for making fun of the president of Egypt was well done, passionate and expected. <br /><br />What was unexpected, however, was a Twitter fallout between the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and Egyptian officials. The U.S. Embassy made the mistake of tweeting a link to The Daily Show's video which angered Egyptian officials and Islamists. The embassy tried to correct the mistake by taking down their entire twitter page. Tisk, tisk. <br /><br />FOR MORE NEXT MEDIA ANIMATION, GO TO: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=NMAWorldEdition <br />Facebook http://www.facebook.com/NMAtv<br />Twitter @nmatv http://www.twitter.com/nmatv<br />Tumblr http://nmatv.tumblr.com<br />Google+ http://gplus.to/NMAtv<br />Web http://www.nma.tv <br /><br />The U.S. Embassy in Cairo was cool for 2.5 seconds when they tweeted a link to the Daily Show's awesome defense of Bassem Youssef an Egyptian TV host and satirist.<br /><br />The clip shows Stewart's support of Youssef who is known as Egypt's Jon Stewart. Youssef was thrown in jail for insulting President Mohamed Morsi, which was a hypocritical move on Morsi's part. Youssef was later released on bail. <br />Egyptian officials were furious about the tweet saying it was "inappropriate" and it promoted "negative political propaganda". <br /><br />Then the U.S. Embassy managed to make a bad situation even worse by deleting the entire embassy twitter feed in attempts to scrub the offending tweet. <br />The feed was eventually restored, but the damage was already done. Now the U.S. Embassy just looks like a big wussy that caved in to the online peer pressure of Cairo. <br /><br />Just because you live in Egypt doesn't mean you have to self-censor. Dear U.S. Embassy, Grow a pair! Love, NMA. <br />Do you think the U.S. Embassy should invest in a good social media expert?<br /><br />- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -<br /><br />FOR MORE NMA IN ENGLISH, GO TO: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=NMAtv <br /><br />FOR MORE APPLE DAILY ENGLISH, GO TO: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=AppleDailyEnglish <br /><br />FOR MORE TOMONEWS JP, GO TO: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=TomoNewsJP <br /><br />Check out the Oddbods!
