Well, if that makes you feel good, there isn't anything happy where I live either.
In the recent years, all of the comedy shows here are based 90% on black humor.
That's quite obvious, since all you could read about in the newspapers in Israel in those recent years is one of these topics:
-Iran's nuclear program
-Horrible car-accidents
-Grotesque crime and violence
-Corrupted politicians
-Terrorism
-How much the world hates us (MAJOR TOPIC)
-Celebrities nobody gives a shit about
-Arguments between the political Left and Right
-Self-criticism (MAJOR TOPIC)
Even the movie Israel sent to the foreign Academy Awards contest reflects this: the movie, Ajami, deals with the criminal wars inside the Arab communities in Israel, The hatred between the Jewish and Arab citizens, the lack of confidence of citizens in the Police forces,
and the Police forces' failure to deal with crime.
