TV show host Shahid Masood went on a truly bizarre rant on his political show. “Live with Shahid Masood” recently.
Just yesterday, he referred to the Pakistani political scene, and somehow connected it with the ever popular characters from our childhood show. “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”.
Of course, the video has gone viral and we really don’t know why.
Here’s what happened
In the clip, Shahid Masood states:
“Where are the Ninja Turtles? We know the position of the establishment, judiciary, politicians, but where are the Ninja Turtles? Michelangelo, Leonardo, where are they and what are they doing?”
The anchor, quite taken aback at the random remarks, attempts to skillfully divert Shahid Masood with another question: “Is there any plan being made in London as is being said?”
Well guess what? Shahid Masood wasn’t really done with the TMNT rant from before. He goes on to say:
“Leonardo is there, the Ninja Turtle that looks after the matters in London. Ninja Turtles are active. The establishment and Imran Khan, everyone is on the same page but in all this, there are Ninja Turtles as well. Ninja Turtles have a different target. They know they have to make everybody fight. They say everyone is on the same page and things will move forward once everything ends”.

Twitter goes into meltdown
Much amusement was had by netizens on Twitter over Shahid Masood’s rant. Many of them suspect that Shahid Masood may have been drunk during his turtle tirade.
But I think has taken more than two pegs, patience of anchor is commendable, BTW earlier Naila Madam used to tweet till late night but now it seems that she sleeps early and gets up early, 😀

You are lucky!
They haven't included in the Cyber Crime Bill that Shahid Masood will not tweet about Ninja Turtles!— انپڑھ لکھاری (@anparhlikhari) April 16, 2015

If you were a child of the 90s, chances are you might remember the characters Shahid was talking about. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are four fictional teenage anthropomorphic turtles. The brothers Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael were all named after Italian Renaissance artists and trained to fight the good fight against evil ninjas and aliens.
