We're probably in for a rash of cartoons about "race-baiting" by the usual suspects after the Selma folks spoke so strongly about the film's importance to contemporary life during their Oscar acceptance speech. It was very well done, but boy is it going to make some people mad.

Plus, the Birdman Director is Mexican and he won best director and best picture.

Broken Loose posted:Wow, this is Onion levels of satire. Blacks aren't "good, ordinary citizens?" That part isn't what you think. In Finland of 1968 there would be very few black people around, any protest for blacks would be out of solidarity to South African or US blacks who aren't Finnish citizens. But yeah, Kari Suomalainen was a terrible reactionary. The first time that the number of black people got into thousands was when Somali refugees started arriving through Soviet Union/Russia in the 1990s. And this, incidentally, is the strip that got him fired:  "I only asked if they had visas."

Samurai Sanders posted:I had to look up "mitsuzukeru" and I guess it's to gaze at...but what? I googled for "o mi tsudzukeru" and found a bunch of transliterated anime lyrics containing the phrase "yume o mi tsudzukeru", which presumably should be "yume o mitsuzukeru" (literally "continue looking at that dream", but in English we would say "keep dreaming that dream"). Maybe Muir stumbled on that "o mi tsudzukeru" construction and thought it meant "continue doing [something]" because he didn't get that the "mi" part was supposed to be part of the verb, and he substituted "sore" ("that") in an attempt to have the mom say "continue doing that" (i.e. the breast pumping that Skye is sick of doing).

Some more racist Kari Suomalainen cartoons: "Recently arrived child patient from Sarajevo."  "Previously: Finnish clerk sells Finnish shirts / Now: Finnish clerk sells shirts from Thailand or elsewhere / Future: A clerk from Thailand or elsewhere sells shirts made in Thailand or elsewhere"  "In addition to traffic in drugs, there is traffic in people. At times, a test group of "refugees" will be sent. / If it gets through, the word will go around, and no hotels will be enough to hold all of the newcomers..."  "More humanitarian aid!" The thing to rememeber here, which these cartoons don't show, is that Kari is really the alpha and omega of Finnish political cartooning - so well-esteemed that even his racist reactionary views (which became really obvious after 1990) didn't really ruin his reputation completely. Like Herblock squared, in terms of this effect on Finnish political cartooning. Of course, showing this is quite difficult, as his good cartoons (and, again, he was quite reactionary even when he was good) would require an indepth knowledge of Finnish politics in the 50s-70s, knowledge of his inside jokes etc. Stefu fucked around with this message at 11:34 on Feb 23, 2015 |

Good News Bad News Äbbas? According to the Daily Beast: Palestinian Dictator Mahmoud Abbas Gets a Free Pass "The supposedly moderated president hugs a genocidal tyrant and bans elections while the world remains silent. Which “moderate” Arab president publicly hugged the genocidal leader of Sudan last week? Which Middle Eastern “reformer” just entered his 10th year of a four-year term? Which Western “ally” days ago ordered an investigation into a cartoonist for possibly drawing Mohammed? The answer is Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. These three stories barely made it into Western press. Why? Put simply, the bar has been set so low that they were not deemed newsworthy. An Arab leader who doesn’t allow elections? Yawn. A Middle Eastern president who embraces one of the worst mass murderers in recent history? Nothing to see here. There is a tragic disconnect between Western rhetoric and Arab reality. Abbas, if one listens to leaders of the free world, is a moderate, reformer and ally. He is better than Hamas, after all, isn’t he?"-more * * * The LSW (Long Suffering Wife) mails our haggadahs out from our local post office here in Israel.

Have any Israeli soldiers been injured or slain fighting ISIS? Has Israel in any non-hypothetical way been inconvenienced by the emergence of a muslim-slaughtering theocracy significantly more brutal than their own? I tried googling it, and the most relevant hits were about how any charity workers who helped Palestinians deserve to get killed by ISIS.

Yakov Kirschen believes that "Islam" is a parasitic brain-slug that takes control of its formerly-human host and makes them forcibly part of the hivemind of terror. He's made several cartoons explicitly stating that Iran was the exact same thing as Boko Haram. This here cartoon says that Israel is fighting ISIS by bombing the Hezbollah.
