Ever laugh at something on the Internet and wonder, "Why am I laughing at this? I don't even know what is going on."
That was my reaction to watching a video of a duo from Norway's Fristad Film tour Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Ariz., collectively known as Short Creek and home to the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
In a video on Youtube dated Nov. 7, the pair drive around Short Creek shouting in a language I assume is Norwegian while filming children playing and women in prairie dresses. I have not hit up my bosses for money for a translator, so just assume the video is not safe for work if your co-workers speak (probably) Norwegian.
Actually, not all of the video is in a foreign language. There is apparently no Norwegian words for "self-proclaimed prophet" or "underage wives."
Then at 3 minutes and 30 seconds, the duo leaves Short Creek and enters Zion National Park, begin speaking English and make a rather blue joke about the color red.
