snapped shot

The names are coming in—Earlier bloggers called him "Hand Gesture Man," and LGF'ers seem to prefer "Rageman" (Leaps over "apartheid" barriers at a mile a minute?). Aussie Dave made me laugh the hardest, though, with his suggestion: Hairstyle Man. Don't mess with the power of mousse, man!

Wow, there are some nice high-resolution photographs, many of which I haven't seen in the Getty archives, over at Dutch blog Geenstijl.

It's OFFICIAL: the Photoshop Contest is on!

What is it about the Jihad-supporting world that attracts such virulent displays of always-available-on-command anger? We've seen travelling rage shows all the world over, and have even been introduced to the most famous professional protester in the world, and yet, no matter how many times such professional outragists (not to be confused with "bloggers") are unveiled as the professional puppets that they are, there always appear more.

Here's the latest example of Professional Raging, from the Palestinian territory, which we noticed a week or so ago:—He is frighteningly reminiscent of a particularly angry gym teacher we had back in 7th grade. Rooster, you remember who I'm talking about?

I'm betting that the photo above came straight from AFP photographer Abbas Momani's best stack of Pulitzer padding material, as it shows a very "oppressed" Palestinian, enraged at the treatment supposedly being given to him by the evil Israeli Defence Forces.

Could his rage be too good to be true?

Lo and behold, shortly after posting the Rage Boy: Palestine article, I received an e-mail from a couple of fellow bloggers who have been tracking this guy too, and from the looks of things, he's been at it a while. And that led me to discover once again, that the world will never have quite enough manufactured rage.

I immediately contacted longtime "friend" Mohammed Muheisen (who has actually become quite cordial towards this website as of late), and asked him if he knew anything about the gentleman pictured, and for Mr. Momani's contact information. Muhammed said that he's seen the protester on the photo wires, but didn't know anything more about him.

I then passed my request for information on to Abbas Momani himself, to see if I could get to the bottom of exactly who is this ragin' non-Cajun—as opposed to this guy—that he seems to be so fascinated by. Continue reading »

Don't let his faux-outrage [Ed.:—Or perfect hair. Dang it, why do the best punchlines always come to me too late?! Curses!] fool you: It looks like this gentleman is really trying to get the attention of the press. So far, his ploy is working. From today:



Last week (original photo undated, I captured it on the 9th of December):

It would seem that the entire ummah is on fire in protest against the farce of a conference in Annapolis. Finally, I am in agreement with the ummah on something (though I'd imagine for far different reasons). The highlight of today's protests? Perhaps the coolest portrait of Condoleeza Rice ever published, even outshining my previous fave:



I'll be rounding up the other highlights from around the world following the fold. Stay tuned for more!

Update: Someone has definitely been very busy spreading the propaganda about the Annapolis conference. Notice how all of these protests suggest that somehow, the United States and Israel are either conspiring to revoke the "right" of return, or how we're conspiring to seize Al-Aqsa. Very interesting coincidences, no?

(Regarding the "right" of return:—Keep in mind that with respect to any "peace" conference assembled, Palestinians demand an independent state of their own on one hand, yet they demand that Palestinian "refugees" maintain the "right" to return to Israel on the other. Sound confusing? Yeah, it might be—until you take a look at which map they are working from... It's all about "conquest," people. Nothing more, nothing less.)

UPDATE: According to the latest captions coming in, a man has been killed by Fatah security forces in Hebron, after being shot point-blank in the chest. Reports are that 15 other protesters have also been injured in the area—no specifics or details on them yet. Continue reading »

Here's yet another photojournalist, showing yet another way for Palestinian terrorists to sneak through the racist, apartheid wall into Israeli territory:



Oh, how I yearn for the days when treason was still taken seriously.

Seriously, I have no idea what it is about this particular pose that's so funny, but it is, so here ya go.


My suggested caption: "Praise be to GUNS!!"

More pictures of this Fatah anniversary celebration following the break. These celebrations are always a hoot. Continue reading »

It would appear that Hamas and Fatah are currently fighting over who will hold all of the reins in the Palestinian Territories. Much like competing mafia groups, neither is anything remotely "democratic," so whomever ends up in control of the PLC is most likely slated to be replaced by the next mob.

This is just more proof of the obvious—Israel has nothing to do with the "destitution" of the Palestinian people. Their situation is one entirely of their own making, and will quickly be improved, once they stop supporting the crooks who do stuff like you see in this photograph.

Don't expect this little newsflash to be picked up by the myopic press any time soon, though. For the first time ever, I'm sure they're actually stretching to come up with a reason to blame Israel for this mess.

Stay tuned - I'll be collecting all of the photographs here as the day progresses.

Wire Coverage: Associated Press, Reuters, NYT/IHT, USA Today

My absolute favorite article on this story is from marxist.com. Wait until you find out who THEY think the villain is! (More importantly, how is "marxist.com" considered a credible source to put on Yahoo! News? If they make the cut, shouldn't Snapped Shot?)

Update 13:48 EST: Disturbingly Yellow has a rather humorous take on these events.
