Indeed no one is spared from the sporadic, sarcastic and piercing jokes of everybody’s favorite late night funny gal Chelsea Handler, but that doesn’t mean that no one takes offense from it.  If you Google ‘Chelsea Handler Serbia’ or search it on YouTube, you’ll get a handful of hate videos from Serbians dissing the popular comedian and bestselling author for calling their tiny little country “a shame” and “a disappointment”, ironically, they didn’t take it as an insult when their miniscule sovereign nation was compared to the giant mess that is Amy Winehouse.

In one of the recent episodes of ‘Chelsea Lately’, Handler, as part of the show’s round table segment, discussed Amy WInehouse’s disastrous performance in Serbia and everyone agreed, in fact even the Serbian audience who wasted their money on such trash and their Defense Minister, Dragan Sutanovac, concur, with the official calling the show “a shame and a disappointment”.  Handler on the other hand, after reading Sutanovac’s statement immediately and wittingly quipped, “Guess what? So is your country!”.  That quip fueled an array of angry Serbians to boycott the comedian all over the internet, and that includes Serbian rights group Filip Filipi, who used Facebook to remind Handler to keep her jokes in check.

Whether the Serbians’ outrage is warranted or not is still up for debate.  There are a couple of things though, that are certain in this issue – one, Amy Winehouse simply can’t get her act together whether she’s in the UK, in the US or even in a tiny country that is practically invisible on a world map, and second, Facebook is the perfect medium for anyone who wants attention, warranted or not.
