It�s been difficult to find anything funny about Ebola, which has killed thousands of people in West Africa, including Nigeria. British comedian Russell Howard explored the difference between the UK & US coverage of Ebola on BBC�s Good News, in a clip that has gone viral. He analyzed the British as calm, while the US is in a frenzy, including an African-American man who doesn�t seem to understand anything about the virus at all, saying amongst other things, �The first victim is a black man, that gives white b**ches an excuse not have sex with black guys now.� Around the 3 minute mark, the virus under the microscope speaks in the stereotypical �African� accent used in many foreign TV shows � Modern Family anyone? The comedian also talked about Dele Adebola, a Birmingham City footballer who had to assure his Twitter fans �I don�t have ebola.� � because his name is AdeBOLA.
