Snapped Shot

The Results Are In!

The results have been judged by Rage Boy himself! You can read all about the results over here!

Wow, it's also good to see the insane wing of the blogosphere check in on this story. It's nice to see such intelligent people so eager to put all of their faith in a religion that "understands" women's rights so well. Oh wait, I meant "womyn's" rights.

I will add this: The American left's tendency to shoe-horn every last issue into absurd questions of "oppression" politics is doing more to harm the worldwide debate on terrorism than anything. Stop deluding yourselves: The world does not revolve solely around the notion that one has somehow been "oppressed." There really are bad guys out there who wish to do you harm:—Sinking into denial and self-blame is no way to respond.

With a face like this, who would've expected that the world's Photoshop experts would have all jumped in at once with their master craftiness. I'll be rounding up Rage Boy parodies here when I find them. Feel free to send them to me as well - just put the URL into my little comments doohickey here, and I'll post your parody here ASAP!

Here's my #1 so far. Let's see how long it takes for it to be knocked off by another one!



There's much more parody goodness following the fold! And if you recognise one of these as yours, be sure to sound off in the comments! Continue reading »

Guess what? Islamic Rage Boy has been sighted again on Friday the 22nd of June--The Worldwide DAY OF RAGE (Salman Rushdie Edition). Be sure to check the latest sighting out!

Big kudos to AMDScooter at P.C. Perspective for pointing this out. I can't believe I missed it!

Today:



Last year:



For the record, the photo in question is a photoshop. The original is a slightly different angle of this photo, from this Snapped Shot classic, which describes last year's violent protest over Pope Benedict XVI's [Ed.: Sorry about that, my Catholic friends. I really am quite dense sometimes...] "caustic" comments:



Great work, Scooter! Be sure to get your ISLAMIC RAGE BOY gear over here! (Background on how he got his name over here as well.)

Update: Just ran into another couple of photos of Rage Boy in the Getty AFP archives. See 'em all beyond the fold!

UPDATE: I am truly humbled to have contributed a small part to a story by hizzoner sir Christopher Hitchens. His is truly a voice of sanity in a world gone batty, even if he is somewhat mistaken (in my most humble opinion) on the question of theism. God Bless, sir! Continue reading »
