The linked article states that the Munich shooting started in a "fast food restaurant" before the shooter moved on to a shopping mall... is it libelous/slanderous to actually say "McDonalds?" They could add "other fast food franchises are available for shooting rampages" to cover their rear end.

Or did it not start in a McDonalds? (Making that cartoon even more stupid)

edit: another article actually said "McDonalds," so cartoon makes sense but is stupid. Oh, and a kid just stabbed 50 disabled people in an assisted living home in Tokyo. Look forward to those cartoons next.

It did start at a McD's. While I can see how it's not the coverage they'd want it's definitely not libellous. "The shooting started at McDonalds" has been the first sentence of the second paragraph for a lot of coverage and as that's specifically a happy meal pictured it's not looking down on the brand. Assuming the artist is sane and wants to lament dead children, he's using the garbage lunchbox as a symbol of childhood innocence. Still an awful cartoon.
The kid in Tokyo was 26 by the way, for people who get all their news from the Brit politoons thread.

at least having the others there means we can't get the sense of false superiority we used to get from reading the main cartoon thread and then just coming here to see nothing but bell and rowson knocking it out the park on the regular

though if we want to deflate our british superiority nowaways we can just think of the number "52%" I guess

The same percentage of South Africans that voted to become a republic, shedding the chains of monarchy and immediately setting up a system of racial segregation that lasted until the 90s.

On twitter, Rowson admitted the cartoon "mystifies even me a bit. One of those that seemed a good idea when I started..." but then got back to arguing with people who said it was sexist/pro-eugenics somehow. At least it's visually interesting that the semi-living Osbourne Moreau-island-mutant has three arms (?) and a catheter (??) in its mouth.

Eugenics isn't an explicitly bad thing in an of itself. Involuntary euthanasia of the genetically infirm is an extreme, but I don't see the problem with having a strong social taboo against having children with your first cousins for multiple generations until the chin gene completely disappears.
