| MFOM Cartoon Contest | |
| 2006-01-13 | |
| (original opinion) A completely disorganized effort to annoy hyper-sensitive Moslems is called the "Making Fun Of Mohammed Cartoon Contest". Put simply, many non-Moslems who write about Islam, or make drawings of Mohammed, are threatened. But nobody and nothing should be "above being made fun of". So the way to help them overcome their hyper-sensitivity is to overwhelm them with so many objectionable works that they chill out, or at least get more entertaining with their seething. Since they will sometimes threaten the lives of authors and cartoonists, publishers and web servers, it behooves those who want to Make Fun Of Mohammed to be anonymous. The Internet provides the solution with Peer-to-Peer file transfers. Virally-spread anonymous cartoons, whose filenames are all prefixed "MFOM - (whatever).jpg", are now being disseminated. Anyone who wants to can create an MFOM - xxxxx.jpg (or something), being utterly blasphemous about Mohammed or Islam. And the best part is that since few people have much artistic talent, they can just take an existing cartoon, say Doonesbury, or the one written by Ted Rall, erase whatever dialogue is in the balloons, and replace it with something very offensive to those who get offended far too easily. Not a cartoonist you like, though, as it might get him in trouble. As long as you don't sign the cartoon, there is no practical way to trace its origin. The winners of the cartoon contest are those whose cartoons are eventually discovered and result in maximum seething and empty threats--a fine prize indeed, putting the creator on a par with Salman Rushdie, albiet anonymously. Of course, if some ignorant Imam wants to threaten Ted Rall, well, that would be unfortunate, wouldn't it? In any event, just whipping out a cartoon in a few minutes and putting it in the upload area of your P2P software is all it takes.

| #6 Depot G, are you planning on being the last one 'eliminated'? Good luck. YOU are on their list. Seems you are misreading those that only read one book. |

| #5 Incomplete, DepotGuy. They are pretty keen on eradicating my personal existence, and that of the trailing daughters as well. We are Jewish, female, educated, opinionated, and Jewish. Oh, and my father has a medal from the Haganah (and the double taxation that goes with it). They are pretty keen on wiping him out, too. In fact, they aren't nearly as interested in CaziFarkus as they are in me and mine. |

| #4 "They don't want to coexist with us; they want to eliminate our existence." I believe that statement to be an accurate assessment. However, to be more specific they want to eliminate your existence. To be clear, when I say âyourâ, I refer to those that advocate their genocide and ethnic cleansing as a solution. |

| #3 HINT: Real jokes have real punch lines. Like "WHAT makes you think I was talking to you?" |

| #2 Fact: Muslims want us to enforce their perverse sharia, and succeed in doing so when we bend to their crude pressure. Professor Pipes publicized this case of dhimmi injustice: http://www.ontariocourts.on.ca/decisions/2001/december/hardingC35767.htm Muslims can be trusted as far as you can spit against a hurricane. They don't want to coexist with us; they want to eliminate our existence. |

| #1 the "Best Blonde Joke Ever" that Donald Sensing so helpfully points to. Key words: "points to" This is a joke made up by people attempting to compensate for a complete and utterly total lack of wordsmithing talent. HINT: Real jokes have real punch lines. |
