Pegida, Spanish humour, Kenyan hotel reviews: #BBCTrending's videos of the week
- Published
It's been a busy week at BBC Trending. Here are our video choices - in case you missed them the first time around.
A spoof make-up tutorial went gone viral on YouTube after mocking the appearance of Pegida spokeswoman Kathrin Oertel. We talked to its creator, a 25-year-old radio presenter (and now viral make-up artist).
In a country where it is dangerous to confront extremism, a video posted on Facebook by two young Pakistani film-makers showed ordinary people taking a stand against the Taliban.
Kenyans hit upon a novel way to vent their anger about the tear-gassing of children trying to protect their playground from development. There have been allegations on social media that the land is wanted for a nearby hotel - so following a riot police crackdown, protesters posted negative reviews of the business on sites such as TripAdvisor.
And we visited Spain to follow political satirist Facu Diaz, who ended up summoned to a criminal court for a comedy sketch. Diaz was accused of mocking victims of terrorism in a video which used the iconography of the Basque armed organisation ETA. So what exactly are the limits of humour?
