Some Norwegian comedians created a funny rock music video that celebrates the career of peacekeeper and global human rights advocate Jan Egeland. It is funny, and also a celebration, of this outspoken global champion of the poor.
But it also made me wonder if anything like this — a piece of comedy built on the (Norwegian) public’s common understanding of the value of the work of a UN official — could work in the U.S. How many Americans can even name three top UN officials, I wonder?
