I mean, Usaqa Madiq and Bin Fartyn (among other of the usual suspects) have yet to appear? Can’t imagine Mediawatchwatch folk would take the piss.

Tingey. This e-petition is pretty silly and sounds like the sort of shit Beyer and his merry men/women spout. From the clip, this is sending up terrorists, not terrorism. While we can't separate the two in the real world, we sure as hell can on stage. By making fun of these assholes, their message is weakened to the point of irrelavence and that can only be a good thing. One thing we can be reasonably sure of, the government will just ignore the petition anyway such is their track record on them. Right on Mr (?) Tingey.

Not quite 72 of them, and one can only speculate as to their virginity - or even their gender - but a hoot. I don't know whom it'll offend the more: the Muslims or those who think jihad is a Serious Subject and should not have the piss taken out of it. Is there, I wonder, a serious objection to be made about treating terrorism as a joke? Or does this sort of satire allow the collective consciousness to work things through, see things in perspective? Interesting point - but one that should be settled by reasoned argument, as I'm sure the MediaWatchWatch commentariat would agree, and not by banning.
