Is this supposed to be funny?

Am I missing something or is this voice recording supposed to be funny?Time: 2/16/2007 12:43:00 AM
My friends were pissing their pants off laughing (not literally, otherwise the studio would have stunk) but really, is it funny?
Or just plain wrong?
The pranksters (assholes, I think; original, but assholes nevertheless) have clearly crossed the line; pissing off the waiter of some Indian Muslim restaurant.
I admit, I laughed a bit... a lot actually... and I'm ashamed...
But I still don't understand what's so extremely funny about it?
Is it the guy's thick accent? Is it the persistent 'pork' joke? Or is it because of how the guy blew his top off?
Despite whatever reason, I just think its very racist, insensitive and extremely immature.
What pleasures did they (the pranksters, and the people watching) get from this?
These imbeciles recorded it, uploaded it onto Youtube; surely they want to be heard, and popularised.
Does this count as racism? Or harassment?
So I'm still wondering if this intolerable act is supposed to be funny.
We're in Singapore, for God's sake...
In China, for example, the media (newspapers, tv, wadeva) is not showing any images of pigs (despite the coming lunar new year; 'year of the pig') so as not to offend the Muslim minority of the country. But we're not doing that in Singapore, are we?
In fact, we are laughing at that fact; making that sensitive issue a joke. Stop taking our religious harmony for granted, I say.
PS: Wishing Happy 'Pork' New Year to all my Chinese friends.
