Yes, he got second prize. It was a contest for cartoons about the Holocaust, then later two Israeli artists arranged a more general antisemitic cartoon contest.

Where do I need to go to get the "Absurdly Racist" ClipArt package for Microsoft Word 2003?

Alternatively: Is it a picture of two Arab caricatures or is it the messed up clay vase from the end of Ghost?

He's calling for the internment of all Muslims in the US, right? That's what this garbage is saying in a terribly roundabout way, isn't it?

Yes. It also relies on the reader viewing the internment of Japanese in the US as a good thing.

Art Spiegelman already did that one.

Several years ago, after the Jyllands Posten thing, some people in (IIRC) Iran decided to expose the heathen westerners for the hypocrites they were and organized an antisemitic cartoon contest, to say "let's see if you really like freedom of speech". And the obvious result was several Jewish cartoonists entering the competition. Art Spiegelman's entry was an old Jew chastising a crying child holding a picture of money, and telling him something like "let this be a lesson for you, Abie: it is forbidden to depict the Profit!"

As obnoxious as their Bush-fluffing neocon sympathies were, I liked the Cox & Forkum entry into that contest that hid Ahmadinejad's face in Hitler's.

I wondered the same thing and figured that he puts the citation outside of the image and the poster didn't include them like they would the Dry Bones entries.

Either that or it's his way of indicating to the reader that the comic was written by an rear end in a top hat.

Yeah, the comments are on the website. They were included here a couple of times, but I assume the poster stopped because they were just as useless and stupid as the rest of the comic.

:lol: that "There is something between full-scale military intervention and sitting around twiddling our thumbs" is an idea that is at all controversial.

Obviously it's extremely difficult to sort out what to do with the war torn mess that colonialism left behind, if the solution were as easy as a sentence that can be posted in a political cartoon thread, someone would have done it. The pessimistic "well, since we shouldn't invade, why are we so keen to bring it up?" is just loving bizarre.

Couple of pages back, but I'm surprised no-one translated this, if only for the record.

"Why does an artist draw?
To get a reaction.
If you don't get letters,
you're a bad cartoonist.
If you get super-positive letters,
you're a quite good cartoonist.
If you get threats,
you're a strong cartoonist.
If you get sad letters*,
you're not a cartoonist anymore.
You've crossed the line
when you besmirch the dignity of any person."

tldr "cartoonists aren't supposed to hurt people's feelings".

*I think this bit got lost in translation, because it literally means "teardrop letters", which isn't an idiom I'm familiar with in either French or English. Maybe it's Russian.

I think the answer is more complicated than a single paragraph and probably even more than a thread with multiple pages of discussion on the topic, and it has to take into account a whole host of other international players, personally, but I do think that when villages are massacred en masse, a response that isn't "That kind of thing happens all the time there, though? Let's get back to Charlie"(which people seem fine to talk about without proposing "solutions") is an okay, tiny first step.

Pretty sure the Mexicans managed to help out in Haiti without locking down the capital and pissing everyone off but yeah there are probably a range of options between nothing at all and temporary military annexation. As Bicyclops has pointed out I don't think this thread has the kind of experts that could give a worthwhile answer to what should be done for every individual foreign aid situation but it probably involves cooperating with existing aid and government organisations at the very least.

It's easy to talk endless poo poo about how every possible way the West could respond to a crisis is bad, and even easier if all you have to do when someone asks you what they should be doing instead is just kick back and say "of COURSE I can't sum up the vast complexity of a response that would satisfy me in something as simple as a post on the Internet, but trust me, one exists out there somewhere :smug:"

If you don't have any better ideas, then yeah, don't talk poo poo. Even R Mute's "just burn the fucker down" post was at least an answer.

Personally I think everyone's proposed vast, sweeping systemic changes would take at least a generation to have any effect, and in the meantime there is a militant group massacring people right now and if we want them to stop massacring people we're going to have to defeat them. No reason we couldn't do that AND end neocolonialism or whatever.

Welp. The one bit of Russian news coverage I saw was an outright dumb and so goddamn crazy (or at least shrill and actively hysterical) reporter screeching about :
Millions of Muslims in France.
Billions of new mosques, no new Catholic houses of worship.
A "House of Islamic Culture" (what kind of culture could Muslims possibly have?) funded by Parisian taxpayers.
That's not enough for those people - another Islamic museum is being built right across the street, for a billion million Francs.

Charlie Hebdo (apparently) weren't fond of this overtly tolerant approach towards der Untermensches. They mocked Muslims, the EU, Merkel etc (they also sucked down Putin's big manly cock as every good journo should - not said, but actively implied).

I sorta assumed that was going to be the Russian spin.

Nah, Kremlin loves the idea of a peaceful, multinational empire where everyone gets respected and tolerated as long as they hold Traditional Values. Obviously freedom of speech is considered a gaynazi european abomination and is basically the worst thing.

If our choices are inaction or full-scale military intervention or "Bicyclops, not an expert on Africa has to come up with a solution," then I'd talk to some people I trust and go with option three, I guess, but between the first two, yes, inaction would be better than military intervention. I'm sorry that I am not enough of an expert to propose an exact solution, but given the repeated conflicts in the area in Rwanda, the People's Republic of Congo and Nigeria, it seems to me that crushing one group of slaughterers really does not seem like a realistic or helpful idea.

The whole point is that, in the subforum Debate and Discussion, when you're posed a question, hopefully you have a response other than "um... well, uh... I don't think this is the place to go into it..."

I think we can all agree that the US shouldn't just drop a million bombs on Africa and call it a day, but the question is what do you want instead?
