“The amazing life – and disturbing death – of an extraordinary woman who successfully challenged the place of God in American life for 30 notorious years.
Madalyn Murray O’Hair had come to occupy a special place in the American psyche since her 1963 campaign which ended compulsory prayer in US schools after a Supreme Court action on behalf of her son William. O’Hair’s campaign succeeded, but she became the most hated woman in America (her own label), as she fought to take the name of God off the dollar bill – and her son became a born-again Christian.
Then, on a summer’s day in 1995 , she suddenly disappeared, leaving her breakfast dishes on the table – and half a million dollars missing from her organisation’s bank account.”

From the laughing instructor in the video “the laughter does not need to be sincere, it can be faked or simulated”.
In other words, laughter yoga is like a comedy for people with no sense of humor. Anne Coulter fans will be right at home.
[Update - someone kindly dug up an example of this preposterous crap in action, I've added the clip below the original]

Belonging definitively in the ‘you cannot make this shit up’ box, Al Munajid reminds us all of a universal maxim that often applies to people who worship bronze age sky gods:
“If you don’t have a sense of humor, do not try and defend yourself when people take the piss out of something you said that was accidentally hilarious. You will only make things worse.”
As an aside, there is another perfect piece of irony here. Given that the topic is a hand rendered cartoon, I can’t help but feel that Al Munajid looks like a computer rendering from the neck down, and that the room he is in also looks, well, a bit Mickey Mouse.
