Jordanian children’s channel ‘servant’ song causes backlash online

A children’s song played on the Jordanian children’s channel Karameesh, in which children sing about their housemaid and complain about her, has sparked widespread condemnation online.

The song, entitled "The Servant", which was played on a YouTube channel with over eight million subscribers, has been dismissed as offensive and distasteful by viewers. 

In the video, a young girl complains about her family's housemaid, and sings about her poor work ethics and demands.
