Have you been drinking again ? *raises eyebrow*

Yes. I have. I am drunk! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

That Liberal rag the NY Times won't print the cartoons, but feel the need to show "art" like the painting of Mary covered in dung, or a crucifix in a jar of urine.

Hypocritical @sswipes!

Our university newspaper printed them, but I'm not sure anyone actually got to see them, they pulled it pretty quick smart. If people are going to get angry about cartoons, what about the old simpson's animation? I was about to go on a jihad if channel 4 showed anymore of those pre-wheel episodes

I would have joined that crusade, SB!

It's like the first season of Family Guy where Meg's voice isn't Meg. That irritates me.

BBC1 is showing American Dad and Family Guy on Monday nights now. The FG I watched last Monday was a new one to me, and I know that Seth Green was commissioned to do a fourth season after Fox inexplicably cancelled FG a few years ago, so am I to assume that the ones now on the BBC are brand new?

I'm not sure if they are new. I haven't seen them before but I don't have Sky or anything.

The Danes cause offence with cartoons. In the UK, though we do it with rather less class...

Excellent link, Dave.

Friends back home have asked me "are there any Muslims and/or Jews in Seoul?". Naturally, my response is "No, thank goodness!".

Obviously my remarks here will be greeted with hearty agreement. Keep the tributes coming. But, please, try not to be too gushing.

LMFAO @ Mustafa sh*g

Bad FA

For letting Everton sign a keeper outside the transfer window.

Simply because otherwise, Everton would have had to play Chris Woods (now their goalkeeping coach) (now 46) in goal, which would have been rather amusing.

I wonder if they'll start banning Carry On films. Surely someone somewhere must find Mustafa Leak, the Khasi of Kalibar and Bungdit Din offensive?

I do. Not on religious or ethnic grounds, I'm just offended by third-rate comedy 'national institutions'.

you're so american!

Meaning what, Rosa ? Duncan has a valid point.

I thought Rosa was simply commenting on Duncan putting the words 'ass' and 'wipes' together. It seems a very American word, even if we do hear/see it in Britain more frequently these days than we did a few years ago.

It is a perfectly good word to describe those politicians who decided that I can't have a smoke in my local pub or my private members club.

And now the Germans are at it:

Offending Cartoon

Before clicking, you need to know that the caption says 'why the Germany Army should be deployed at the World Cup' and that the team portrayed on the left are meant to be Iran.

Needless to say, the Iranian FA are..er... unimpressed - as the Grauniad notes.

The proper word is arse.
