If you think Roznama Jawani is a joke, think again. They are serious in trying to shape opinion on current affairs.

You try searching for a good Facebook page from Pakistan and you’ll find yourself bombarded with comics, comics and more comics. Even though, most of these comics give you a good laugh, nothing can make you roll with laughter better than Roznama Jawani (18+).

Roznama Jawani is different. Instead of trying to coin new jokes or build something from a scratch, they make jokes on what already exists – current affairs.

Roznama Jawani, also running a website and a Twitter account, calling itself a news source bringing in stories from Pakistan as well as the whole world, and gives a serious sound to their fake stories.

The fake seriousness of their jokes extends to the point where other news services have, in the past, believed their news to be real and run their stories.

Here are some titles to a few of their other stories to give you an idea of their humour:
While Buying Milk, Chief Justice Ch. Iftikhar Takes Suo Moto Notice of Rasheed Mixing Water In It

Man Asks About Size of Cup When Asked How Many Spoons of Sugar He Wants in Tea

Cheap Telephone Call Charges Keeping Pakistanis from Revolting Against Corrupt System

If you think Roznama Jawani is a joke, think again. They are serious in their intent to shape opinion on current affairs like other news sources, but with a new refreshing twist.

Facebook page rating: Two thumbs up for providing laughs unlike other comics out there!
