Twitter is not forgiving Cannoli’s owners any time soon

Shortly after the video of two restaurant owners in Islamabad mocking their manager’s English went viral, social media erupted with condemnation and of course — memes.

Rapper Ali Gul Pir, who is famous for his skits on social media, chose to add humour to the Cannoli controversy by re-enacting the viral video.

There’s even a mushaira taking place outside the restaurant with “free entry for all”.
