CARTOON KILLED
Joe Bob Briggs reviews a comical case of cartoon cowardice.
UPDATE. There are echoes here of the NYT’s Motoon coverage, as mentioned in this Mark Steyn interview:
The New York Times, at the time of the Danish cartoon thing a few months ago, they actually declined to publish the Danish cartoons of Mohammed on the grounds that they might be offensive, and so to illustrate one of their stories about the cartoon crisis, they printed an illustration of the Virgin Mary covered in dung. Heh!
The SMH’s coverage was even more evasive; one of their pieces on the Motoon debacle featured a picture of me. Thanks for that, SMH.
