Na Na Na Na Poopy...

The media has been a buzz of late about the reaction among many in the Muslim community regarding the controversial cartoons depicting Mohammed in an off-color, or derogatory caricature-style way. Embassies have been burned, death threats have been leveled, and Journalists, Editors, and Publishers have gone into hiding. That's the bad news.

The good news, apparently, is HERE in a piece from Reuters which tells us that Iran is sponsoring a cartoon contest in search of the 12 best cartoons depicting the Holocaust. The winners will each receive 2 gold coins.

Phew. For a minute there, I thought they were actually upset about the cartoons on the merits of whether Mohammed and their "divine religion" of Islam was being insulted or defaced. Thank goodness this is just a "I can make you madder than yo can make ME contest"...thank goodness.

Iran is basically going to stick their thumbs in their ears, wiggle their fingers, waffle their tongues in little raspberry sounds, and chant:

Na Na Na Na Poopies...

All is well again among the grown up Nations of the World...
