Iranian Newspaper Begins Holocaust Cartoon Contest

[USPatriot8320]

TEHRAN, Iran — A prominent Iranian newspaper opened a competition Monday seeking cartoons about the Holocaust in what it called a test of whether the West would be as supportive of freedom of expression over Nazi genocide as it was with caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad. Hamshahri, one of Iran's top five newspapers, published the international call for cartoons in English and Farsi under the title: "What is the Limit of Western Freedom of Expression?" on its Web site. The announcement also appeared on page 31 of the print version of the paper.
"We don't intend retaliation over the drawings of the prophet. We just want to show that freedom is restricted in the West," said Davood Kazemi, who has been cartoon editor at the paper since 1992 and is executive manager of the contest.

Ya know, all I can think of right now is a child (Iran) throwing a temper tantrum and then beating it's head against a wall or something just to see what kind of reaction it will get.
I can't decide whether or not to spank this child or sit back and laugh at how stupid it's being.

I say spank the brats.

Ya know... We wouldnt even know about this if some news pimp hadnt hunted the story down and published it...

Nothing gets news pimps off quite as much as stirring up trouble, especially if people die as a result of their quest to "inform" us... It gives them an orgasmic thrill of power over human lives...

But the difference is you won't see Jews around the world acting like barbarians: protesting, pilliging, and setting random objects up in a blaze.
