A Twist in the Cartoon Tale
Even as the fundies get their knickers (and a lot else) in a twist over cartoons, an Israeli newspaper has decided to fight the madness with humour.
The story so far: Danish paper publishes cartoons that mock Muslims. An Iranian paper responds with a Holocaust cartoons contest. Now, a group of Israelis announce their own anti-Semitic cartoons contest. Amitai Sandy, the publisher of Tel-Aviv, Israel-based Dimona Comix, and founder of the contest jokes, “We’ll show the world we can do the best, sharpest, most offensive Jew hating cartoons ever published! No Iranian will beat us on our home turf!”As always, via the amazing Boing Boing.
