LAHORE, Pakistan - Thousands rampaged Tuesday through two Pakistani cities to protest cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, burning buildings housing a hotel, banks and a KFC and breaking windows at a Holiday Inn and a Pizza Hut.

Ace has the scoop on reason 8765439 why Washington State is lucky that I’ve been able to stave off Rodger and his B52.

My apologies to a reader in comments that mentioned this a couple weeks ago...I meant to post on it but I and it got buried.

Miller’s reinvention of Batman in the 1987 graphic novel “Batman: The Dark Knight Returns” is credited with reviving interest in the superhero and helping launch the series of Batman movies in the 1990s and 2005’s “Batman Begins.” He said his anger over both the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and subsequent acts of terror worldwide had inspired his latest work.”Emotionally, it’s really raw,” Miller told the WonderCon audience. “Imagine the powerful rage when someone crosses the passion between a man and a woman or a man and his city.”

*~*snip*~*

Miller called “Holy Terror, Batman!” a “piece of propaganda” where “Batman kicks al Qaeda’s a--.” He said his graphic novel channeled an era in the comic-book industry when writers and artists used heroes to spread a clear message and generate patriotism.

“Superman punched out Hitler. So did [Marvel Comics’] Captain America,” he said. “That’s one of the things they’re there for. ...These are our folk heroes. It just seems silly to chase around the Riddler when you’ve got al Qaeda out there.”
Like any art form, comic books seem to have always reflected and drawn inspiration from their times.

World War II and the battle against the Nazis provided the backdrop when Superman rose to fame in the late 1930s and early 1940s and Marvel Comics’ Captain America debuted in 1941. The cover of the first issue of Captain America shows the superhero punching Adolph Hitler in the face.

It just seems silly to chase around the Riddler when you’ve got al Qaeda out there.
Ah, YUP!

JR has a theory that you can pretty much associate any world event by comparing it to a scene or a character from one of The Godfather trilogies.
Sounds like Miller’s got a similar thing going with Batman, eh?

I’m writing to express a current peeve of mine.
Maybe this will help:
You keep referring to photos like these with captions calling them “cartoon protesters” when they’re actually maurading sociopaths.

ROME - Italy’s Reform Minister Roberto Calderoli has had T-shirts made emblazoned with cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad in a move that could embarrass Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s government.

“We have to put an end to this story that we can talk to these people. They only want to humiliate people. Full stop. And what are we becoming? The civilization of melted butter?” Calderoli said.

SPOKANE, Wash.—Fans of No. 5 Gonzaga have been asked to stop yelling “Brokeback Mountain” at opposing players.

The reference to the recent movie about homosexual cowboys was chanted by some fans during Monday’s game against Saint Mary’s, and is apparently intended to suggest an opposing player is gay.

Ryan “Brokeback Whiner” Olson, the president of Helping Educate Regarding Orientation, a gay-straight alliance on campus, said the chants are just the latest incident that shows GU is struggling to make gays and lesbians welcome on campus.

Heh.  I think it’s pretty damn funny.

“It is anti-American, but we already know what they’ve done in Iraq. That’s the reality. Now we can see it on screen.”

“Maybe 60 or 70% of what happens on screen is factually true. Turkey and America are allies, but Turkey wants to say something to its friend. We want to say the bitter truth. We want to say that this is wrong.”

“Everything we’ve been hearing on the news about Iraq is in this film,”

“If I see an American when I get out of here I feel like taking a hood and putting it over their head.”

In the most expensive Turkish movie ever made, American soldiers in Iraq crash a wedding and pump a little boy full of lead in front of his mother,...kill dozens of innocent people with random machine gun fire, shoot the groom in the head, and drag those left alive to Abu Ghraib prison - where a Jewish doctor cuts out their organs, which he sells to rich people in New York, London and Tel Aviv.

The film is due for release in Europe soon. 

There are no foriegn cultures. Cultures build things like the pyramids and Notre Dame, and promptly die. The savages squating among the masonry left behind by the dead cultures of their civilized ancestors point at it and say “look at all this culture, we’ve got so much culture here”. History isn’t culture. Ruins are not culture. Innovation and exploration are culture, and America is the last place left on the face of the earth that is currently doing that. We are the only people in the world who have a culture.
