Not funny!?

We've not had one single entry for our caption competition. So either Bad Bad Chatter's are showing remarkable cultural sensativity and restraint, or their a bunch of shiting bawbags. Or no-one reads this blog. Whatever.

Why should we worry?

Because protests over the Mohammed cartoons are now leading to censorship of things which might cause offence to other religions - even, believe it or not, Christianity!

(A reminder: the Mohammed-cartoons were published in an Egyptian newspaper without anyone rioting long before the world went nuts on the story...)

Check out this story:
SBS drops South Park episode on the Pope - TV & Radio - Entertainment

AN EPISODE of cartoon program South Park that features the Pope has been pulled from Australian television...

'Given the current worldwide controversy over cartoons of religious figures, we've decided to defer this program,' [Judas...] said in a statement yesterday.
The episode shows a statue of the Virgin Mary spurting menstrual blood on the Pope."
It's not all bad, though:
[The episode] was shown in New Zealand... prompting a vigil by hundreds of Catholics outside broadcaster TV Works. Despite the protest, 200,000 New Zealanders watched the program, six times the usual audience.
Come on everyone! Banning even the right to cause offence is what the terrorists want. Seriously.

"Not Mohammed" Cartoon Caption Competition

Add your caption to this, one of the original cartoons... The blasphemous stick man drawing of Mohammed on the piece of paper has been removed...
We don't follow the news much, but there seems to be a bit of a fuss over a few cartoons published in some foreign newspapers. Some people are even calling for a Day Of Anger, whatever that is. (It was never like this with the Beano!).

Syed Abbas from Toronto, Canada, explains:
The [news]... claims falsely that the caricatures offended Muslims because Islam forbids representations of Mohammed for fear that it could lead to idolatry.

The real culprit is the Western custom of making fun of everything and everyone. The Quran forbids that...

In the tussle between Islam and the West, what will doom the latter is their... "sense of humor". For Muslims, life is serious businss, and not a joke.
With that in mind, and with apologies to the original artists (and best wishes with their new identities, we presume), Bad Bad Chat would like to announce our first "caption competition".

There will be a prize for the best entry*, probably.





Picture entries can be emailed here. We'll post any that won't get us death threats.

Entries featuring religious figures are forbidden, and will be cast, with their posters, into the lake of fire.

In case it's not obvious, please note that we've blanked out the blasphemous stick-man image of Mohammed drawn on the piece of paper in the cartoon shown.
