Greg Daniels absolutely needs to do an Afghani adaptation of The Office. It would absolutely kill and be like my fave series of all time. This whole situation is beyond absurd and mundane and also insanely great c/LeopardsAteMyFace fodder

How amazing would it be if office culture/politics was the thing (particularly “Western thing”) that eventually compelled the Taliban to throw in the towel and start doing something productive + peace

Who would you cast as the Jim and the Dwight? I’m thinking Hasan Minhaj and Romesh Ranganathan.

One’s Indian and the other’s Sri Lankan, but it’s close enough for Hollywood/BBC, amirite? 😛

As a person fed up with office culture, I’m wondering if it’s now my time to destroy my government.

If you’re in the US, doing that would save tens of millions of lives, both in the US and across the world.

Well, in addition to the millions of lives you’d save, millions of other lives would be threatened or ended.

If your government is the US one, the answer is a resounding yes.
