Anti-Danish Rage, Indonesian Edition

By Brian C. Ledbetter · Wednesday, February 20. 2008 11:52
See? What'd I tell you about news taking a while to travel around the world? Indonesia has finally chimed in on the current Muhammed-printing outbreak in Denmark. Better late than never, right?

I'm not sure about this week, but if this news keeps spreading, we may be up against the bestest "Day of Rage (and puppies)" ever by the week after.

Many thanks to Lawhawk for pointing this little shin-dig out. I've got more photos beyond the fold, as usual!
As an aside, I should point out that while I constantly make fun of these perpetual "days of rage" throughout the world, they did lead to 6 deaths when they got into full swing last time. There really isn't anything funny about that fact in and of itself, but hopefully by continuing to highlight and poke fun at this continual rage, we will disarm it—Think of this as dealing with a bully; if you ignore him, he'll get bored and go away. Radical Islam, of course, being the bully here.

All that out of the way, let's proceed with our Traditional Day of Rage, which so far appears to be pyrotechnic-free. (Seriously, what kind of fun is that?)

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*You probably haven't noticed this, but many muslims have serious issues with rage.
