The comedian Otto Ortiz has humorously illustrated the lifecycle of underwear in Cuba, detailing how it begins as undergarments and eventually gets repurposed as a dust cloth in households. On Facebook this Wednesday, Ortiz explained that when almost-new underwear develops a small hole, it stops being an attractive piece of clothing and starts being used for construction work, mechanics, or extreme sports.
"And how long does it stay in those tasks? Until the hole is so big that a testicle pops out," the comedian noted, barely containing his laughter. "Then it moves to the cleaning area," he added. "And it is used as a rag for dusting, mechanics, or even washing your hands."
Ortiz concluded, "This is called creative resistance."
This Tuesday, Ortiz, known for using humor to highlight societal issues and criticize the regime, expressed his wish to live in Cuban Television: "There is so much optimism, so much joy, so much faith in the future."
He lamented on Facebook about his residence in Nuevo Vedado and listed reasons why he believes it would be much better to live in Cuban Television. Some of the reasons for moving to the "neighborhood" of Cuban Television include that "ETECSA, Aguas de La Habana, the Electric Company, Public Health, and even private agricultural enterprises would all be national vanguards working for the people," thus criticizing the mainstream media for portraying a conflict-free and sanitized reality of Cuba.
