Okay, so it's not exactly humor, though there's fodder for some bitter satire in this tale of two situations. It is worth a look if you haven't yet seen this South African video gone viral. POWA (People Opposing Women Abuse) set up a simple experiment and then filmed it. First a guy played drums in a townhouse complex. A camera outside recorded the noise levels escaping the townhouse and the neighborhood response - multiple visits to the door asking the drummer to tone it down. Then on another night, the same guy played a tape that sounded like a violent domestic fight complete with crashing and screaming. From outside it was just as loud, just as constant, but nobody came to the door. It takes a village alright.
