Run away! Run away!

Read this
A French magazine, "Charlie Hebdo", has reprinted the "Islamic Cartoons" much to the dismay of President Chirac.

"French President Jacques Chirac has condemned as "overt provocation" decisions to reprint cartoons satirising the Prophet Muhammad.

Mr Chirac said any subject matter that could hurt other people's convictions should be avoided.
I know - it's not nice to hurt other poeple's feelings. It might be worse than cutting off their heads for agit-prop. Waa. Anyway, I thought of this, and what's a blog for if not to share?

ARTHUR: Halt! Hallo! Hallo!
GUARD: 'Allo! Who is zis?
ARTHUR: It is King Arthur, and these are the Knights of the Round Table. Who's castle is this?
GUARD: This is the castle of Our Master Ruiz' de lu la Ramper.
ARTHUR: Go and tell your master that we have been charged by God with a sacred quest. If he will give us food and shelter for the night he can join us in our quest for the Holy Grail.
GUARD: Well, I'll ask him, but I don't think he'll be very keen... Uh, he's already got one, you see?
ARTHUR: What?
GALAHAD: He says they've already got one!
ARTHUR: Are you sure he's got one?
GUARD: Oh, yes, it's very nice-a [To Other Guards] I told him we already got one.
OTHER GUARDS: [Laughing]

The Knights of the Round table of course are the fools rioting and taking all of this far too seriously and blissfully unaware they are in a comedy and they are the objects of derision and fun. The rest of us are the French soldiers about to fling a giant wood rabbit at them ...
