After one of Iran’s state-run newspapers started a contest for cartoons denying or mocking the Holocaust as a retort to European free speech laws, a German newspaper decided to engage in a little free-speech reply to Iran:
The Iranian embassy in Germany has demanded a written apology from a Berlin newspaper that printed a cartoon of Iranian soccer players dressed as suicide bombers and threatened legal action if none is forthcoming.
The sketch, published on Friday by Der Tagesspiegel, shows four moustachioed soccer players wearing Iran shirts with explosives strapped to their chests next to four German soldiers in a soccer stadium.
A caption above read: “Why the German army should definitely be used during the soccer World Cup!”, referring to a debate in Germany about whether to use troops to help with security during the month-long tournament which begins June 9.
That’s just horrible… don’t they know that the explosives go under the warmup jackets?
Stupid Germans!
In case you aren’t following the World Cup as closely as I am, Iran is in Group D, which eventually pits it against the Mexican national team.
If Iranian players make a wall in front of a Mexican direct kick, will the Mexicans dig a tunnel under it to smuggle the ball to the goal?
Iranians just don’t have a sense of humor!
In support of Israel, someone should start an Iranian Mullahs and their crazy President cartoon contest. To completely drive them nuts.
Besides the Germans most likely supplied the tech and materials to build the bombs to start with!!!!Seems like the iranians are doing somekind of patent infringement
WK
No one has caught on yet. The Iranians don’t like to be portrayed with bombs straped to themselves because the before-the-act shot could indicate failure. In the future, Iranians should be protrayed as nothing more than a smouldering crator contianing nothing more than a singed head dress. Mission compleat. Maybe that would shut them up.
There’s a simple answer to this: Carpet bomb Tehran with nuclear explosives. That’ll teach them a lesson.
I’m not just real sure but I would think “carpet Bomb” would be excessive for tehran….unless you’re meaning the entire Iraq/Iran/Syria/Jordan/Saudia Arabia/Palistine area? I say lets try the cradle of civilization thing again…. fresh and anew…Just as soon as the radioactivity wears off!
White Knight, I’m with ya on that one. In fact, with the right size of bomb, there’d be no more need to drill for oil. Just pump it out of the crater that’s left.
Now, regarding the post….. I think this is great. I’ve missed being able to watch live coverage of the middle east getting the crap bombed out of them, but now I can look forward to a cartoon war, each side trying to out-do the other. Should make for some good laughs over the next while.
The good thing is the Iranian’s are threatening “legal action”. Hmm, maybe progress is being made?
Berlin… This is f***ing cuba. Leftists everywhere. Liberals everywhere. University, workplace, media, youth. Everywhere. Every day.
Best way to limit your career expectations… show some style, show some attitude. Try to be conservative. Me being an immigrant. European attitude is so surreal it turned me into a neocon.
Even Guantanamo Bay’s inmates are more US-friendly that the average citizen in berlin.
Need an escape plan. Fast.
Englishman, an easy way out would be volunteering to be the 1st Conservative Christian Suicide bomber. You’d have sweet release, and we’d have less self-righteous, ethically masturbatory German Libs.
Besides the being dead thing, I see it as Win/Win.
//Christian Suicide bomber//
…um…NO!! That’s what they’d LOVE to see. Instead just pray for God to bring on the Rapture and some fast, HARD tribulation…that’ll surprise the goofball Libs. It won’t change them though…per Revelations, those that are evil will stay that way.
The couran sayezz: you go to hell if you kill yourself.
Sarasmom,
I was just being sarcastic. As much as I’d like to open fire upon, or firebomb these people, I know that vengence is the Lord’s. At leasts that’s what he Sayeth. And John only had one Revelation. 😉
Wow so many f***ing nazi in here how about you scary mother f***ers enlist for the war except making bunch of stupid comments then we will cut ur f***ing scary heads off and send them back to ur f***ing families so they can call u a hero.
