That's like the cheapest joke you could do. The reason no-one else has bothered to do it is because it's so cheap.

Golly, I didn't get it at all until I saw the easel with a graph of Charlie Hebdo circulation over time, compared to (I presume) that of the newspaper we're looking at. Thanks for explaining, Ted! :haw:

It's one of the most respectful depictions of Mohammed I've ever seen!

Now, technically speaking, I know that there's no such thing as a respectful depiction of Mohammed according to the more fundamentalist brands of Islam, but you know what I mean.

So this mid-70's National Lampoon article by PJ O'Rourke entitled :nws: Foreigners around the World :nws: popped up on imgur. Kind of interesting to look at in light of Charlie Hebdo's content because it's more obvious (to me anyways) that the over-the-top racist jokes and cartoons are aimed at satirizing racist/xenophobic views in America. But I think that goes back to the idea of having to place satire in the context of the culture that's producing it, which is why Americans are struggling to interpret some of Charlie Hebdo's stuff.

Jesus Christ this is a dogshit cartoon

like you know what? I'm not surprised or even offended by terrible right wing racist homophobic misogynistic poor-hatting far-mongering garbage anymore. A poo poo cartoon, though? One this poo poo? That stands out my friend.

it doesn't even work as a joke! Just make the kid say is it about "Obama's presence " and it's at least a joke you're not spelling out before the loving "punchline". gently caress. gently caress.

Truth to be told, it's difficult even within. Like, I spoke to my German friend about Charlie Hebdo, and even she thinks a lot of it is racist trash, even by European standards.

So, yeah. I don't know anymore.

(and I'm aware that Germany and France are different countries, but I still found her thought interesting even with that context)

:goonsay: Yes, he can blend into the shadows and basically turns invisible as long as he stands still. Generally not something he's known for.

Cipher on the other hand actually can turn invisible, so clearly that ought to have been the go-to.

Steve Bell posted:

This cartoon marked a turning point, in that I’d been trying out various ways of doing Cameron, from man boobs through to jellyfish, and this seemed a natural development. It said a great deal about his smoothness, but opened up a lot of new, symbolic and rubbery possibilities. By way of a bonus, Cameron does not favour the depiction. He came up to me at a Spectator party at the Tory conference in October, and asked me how long I was going to carrry on with it, before advising me: “You can only push a condom so far”.
