http://www.zipperfish.net/free/yaafm12.php Funniest damn cartoon on the "muslim comic outrage".
And for those of you who think he's a total moron there his defense is below.
Personally I think it's about time. Even if you guys don't like it, he defends his position well.
"I've been getting quite a number of response in my e-mail box in response to YAAFM 12. Due to the over whelming response, I have set up this post for all comments, good and bad. Please fee free to speak your mind.
Here are my thoughts:
Lets get to the root of it. Is YAAFM 12 racist? I personally don't think so. I made it a point... a well thought out point... to include many other religions in the piece. When Reginald tells the Muslims to "suck his cock", he includes Allah, Moses, Buddha, and King Tut, then makes a disparaging remark about Jesus. What... is no one upset about that? Nope. Nobody. Not a frick'n word. Which is exactly my point.
Sometimes humor can include satire and exaggeration. If you would be, say, telling a joke about a fat person... would it be funnier to tell the joke with a 500 lb man, or a man of 275 lbs? Do I believe ALL Muslims are morons? Hardly. However, sometimes a humorist uses exaggeration to make his or her point.
I waited... I really did... to make this YAAFM. I waited for the Muslim world to stand up and condemn the actions of other Muslims. It didn't happen.
Still... I wondered if I should make this flash. Well, I went ahead and started doing the research. I could not believe what I found. The US State department, and the New York Times... not only NOT condemning the actions of Muslims, but all but SUPPORTING IT!
This isn't about racism... this is about people being MORONS. Was I racist against black people in YAAFM: 50 Cent? Was I racist against republicans in YAAFM: President Bush? Was I racist against America with YAAFM: Michael Moore? If not, what is the difference? One set of people believe in Allah... others believe in a rapper... others believe in the leader of the free world.
If a group of people RIOT, BURN, SHOOT GUNS AND KILL over a cartoon, they are morons. If the one common denominator is their religion... well, I'm gonna use that. I also think many people are missing the IRONY. You see, the Muslims are rioting over a cartoon... then, I make a CARTOON admonishing their behavior. See the funny? No? Oh well."
