Muslims + Kites = Eleven Dead
So, it's at least eleven dead and over one hundred injured from a kite festival in Pakistan. This wasn't the first time either, as a BBC article says that nine were killed in the 2004 festival causing kites to be banned for a while in Pakistan. We all know that won't stop violence, though, as you can remove the kite from a man's hand but not the murder from his heart. He'll just get his hands on a pinwheel or a hula hoop and you have another massacre on your hands. I think that's enough news from the Middle East for today. Anymore and I might get jaded. UPDATE: Before I noted how you could add "Muslims Are Offended" to any headline and it won't sound out of place, and I think we have something similar here. For any event happening in the Middle East, you can just add a casualty count to the end of headline and no one would notice. E.g. "Children's Literacy Event Held in Saudi Arabia; 12 Dead" 15 Responses To "Muslims + Kites = Eleven Dead"
Well, give it another week and the cowards in our government will ban kites here in the US, just to be on the safe side. #1 - Posted by: Son of Bob on February 27, 2007 11:20 AMAbsolutely right, Son of Bob. And remember: when kites are outlaws, only outlaws will have kites. #2 - Posted by: Silicon Valley Jim on February 27, 2007 11:42 AMCleary, an area where the West's so called military "technology" advantage does not exist, eh? Sure, we got them cruise missles but it is widely acknowledged by most western military experts that "one kite will always get thru..." Or, we must not allow a KITE Gap! #3 - Posted by: KeithP on February 27, 2007 12:18 PMStealth Kites! #4 - Posted by: Writer on February 27, 2007 12:20 PMIMAO reader reads entry titled "Muslims + Kites = Eleven Dead"; Muslims Offended; 42 Dead #5 - Posted by: Gun Toting Whacko on February 27, 2007 12:33 PMI can imagine what the terrorists are saying right now: "Kites are a symbol of the corruption from the West! Cast down your kites! Death to America! Death to the Great Satan!" Well, Frank, you know that the actual, literal translation of 'pinwheel' in arabic is 'flying wheel of doom', don'tcha? ;D #7 - Posted by: LearntoDrawaLine on February 27, 2007 01:51 PMHonestly, I'm ashamed of myself for laughing at this but I can't help it. It's tragic and funny at the same time. #8 - Posted by: Todd on February 27, 2007 02:16 PM"Children's Literacy Event Held in Saudi Arabia; 12 Dead" I laughed for 5 minutes at that line. There's some truth in what you say. #9 - Posted by: James on February 27, 2007 02:54 PM
Other headline- Muslim Community Bathes with Anti-Bacterial Soap; No Survivors Moore Puts 'Odor Eaters' in Shoes, Disintigrates After 5 Steps Pelosi Smiles at 4th Grade Class; 3 Dead, 15 Pemanantly Blinded Fleming Cracks Midgit Joke at Disney World; Beaten Nearly to Death by Caucasian Woman, 7 Little People #11 - Posted by: AlanABQ on February 27, 2007 03:40 PMThe kid in Frank J.'s graphic is not representative of a muslim youth playing with a kite. This is obvious because he appears happy, and the style of kite has the stringers in the tradition "evil cross" shape. Muslims would never fly kites that look like christian symbols. Heck, Saudi Arabia wants to ban the letter X. #12 - Posted by: Gun Toting Whacko on February 27, 2007 03:44 PMREMEMBER, THESE ARE PEOPLE WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS #13 - Posted by: Gerry on February 27, 2007 10:33 PMAn American flies a kite and discovers the nature of lightning, eventually leading to the lightning rod, a device that has saved countless homes. A Pakistani flies a kite and discovers a new way to cut someone's throat. Maybe the Taliban knew what they were doing when they banned kites... #14 - Posted by: bunkerboy on February 28, 2007 02:54 AM"Moore Puts 'Odor Eaters' in Shoes, Disintigrates After 5 Steps" Did you mean that Moore disintegrated, or more likely the Odor Eaters disentegrated? Hmmmmmm... #15 - Posted by: occoach on February 28, 2007 11:37 AMPost a comment
