I humbly offer my services as forum inquisitor. There is absolutely no way I would abuse this power in any way.


Well, today is Wednesday, so brace for your weekly dose of


Today's issue was number 1214. Huge and/or :nws: images will be thumbed for your comfort.


"Unfortunate suburbs" "After the 2005 rioters, the 2017 arsonists"
The women are Marine Le Pen and her niece, Marion Maréchal-Le Pen. Marine Le Pen leads the FN, France's far-right nationalist party. The other is merely a FN MP, but she comes up pretty often in the media. They're both simultaneously trying to woo the suburbs, and to blame the immigrants who live there for everything that's wrong in France.


Full-page cartoon, thumbnailed for size.
"30 years after Back to the Future, Back to the Bullshit" I'm not going to bother translating the smaller images that you would need to much context to get, but aong them there is "The pope will have had three kids - out of wedlock!" "Claire Chazal [a major anchorwoman] will still do the evening news on D8" "Farewell boats! Migrants will come by walking on their drowned" "Vincent Lambert [a dude much like Terri Schiavo, except his parents have managed to stall the process for now] has a new life as a bobsleigh world champion", and "Israel-Palestine: Peace at last!"
Charlie Hebdo does have an anti-modernist streak, regularly lamenting the ugliness and decay of modern cities, pollution, and so on.


Thumbnailed for dildo.
"Star Wars merchandising: How far will they go to make more money?"


Thumbnailed for women's privates.
The history of the tampon across the ages. The context is that last week, the Assemblée Nationale voted down an amendment that would have reduced the VAT rate on tampons from 20% to 5,5%, because the 5,5% rate is for "basic necessities". So obviously a primarily male legislative assembly estimating that tampons aren't actually a basic and necessary commodity didn't go well.
The people depicted in the cartoon are: Joan of Arc and her famous armored tampon, Eve and her hamster, Olympes de Gouges, Mrs. Cro-Magnon, and Marie-Antoinette of "let them eat cake" fame.


"A majority of people of the third sex on the planet" "We're surrounded by assholes"
Context is that a person has been legally been recognized by justice as neither male nor female in France. (The joke here is that the third sexual organ is the rear end in a top hat, and that a majority of people are [religious] assholes)


Thumbnailed for size.
Random collection of illustrations for a report on the Calais jungle, a huge ad hoc encampment/accomodation for people who are trying to illegally enter Great-Britain.


"Netanyahu puppet show" "And who is gonna exterminate all the Jews in Europe?" "It's him - no, it's him - no, it's him"
Guignol is a pretty specific kind of puppet show for kids that's still pretty popular. There is no antisemitic imagery in this.


"Halloween sucks" "We already have enough zombies the rest of the year!"
The cartoon depicts Nicolas Sarkozy, Alain Juppé and François Fillon, senior members of the right-wing party UMP The Republicans. They're all getting ready for the 2017 presidential election, and the constant competition between them is pretty annoying overall.


"The Suburban"
Last week President François Hollande visited La Courneuve, one of the parisian suburbs where riots erupted ten years ago, for a photo op commemoration. It didn't go perfectly well, he got called out by labor unions and by some young inhabitants who are overall unimpressed by his presidency so far.


"End-of-life care: doctors are now allowed to prescribe coach tours"
This one is some classic mean Charlie Hebdo humor, and I love it. Last week, a coach full of elderly people crashed and burned down and over 40 people died.

Great effortpost, even if I don't really care for Charlie. Just wanted to add to your commentary by saying that all three zombies in the cartoon have also already served terms, which might be where the metaphor plays in. Sarkozy needs no explanation, but both Juppé and Fillon have served as Prime Ministers (the first from 1995 to 1997, the other from 2007 to 2012). They're basically the same old bullshit.

That's an optimistic interpretation to take; what he's really saying is that homeland security was sent to Waco the symbol of Sovereign Freedom.

Would have been w-a-a-y funnier if Department Of Health had shut them down for running an unlicensed, uninspected titty bar/brothel out of a filthy barn.

The most infamous image, among crazies, is when the teargas was deployed:



Holy poo poo, this happened when I was in gradeschool, I didn't know they deployed multiple IFV's:



The event also works as a great acid test for credulity: if you think that only a "conspiracy theorist" would question why the FBI testified that it was not a grenade but, "rapidly expanding gases," you need to turn off the television forever.

Despite no clear evidence of wrongdoing, the religious right seek to harm someone simply for being different, fortunately they are protected by the ACLU. A good cartoon.

If you clicked on the hashtag you'd have seen that it's about a crashed radar surveillance blimp. I know you loathe Latuff, but let's not be willfully dense.

Also those blimps are loving the American taxpayer, as an even more concrete example of the Military-Industrial Complex than the F-35. As detailed by the L.A. Times.
