Snapped Shot

The artistic entrepreneurs over at Reuters know how to do ironic juxtaposition, too!

Yeah... reporting the "news" is so 1990's. What we really need is more photographers making cute "statements."

... for "Photo Most Likely to be Taken Out Of Context" sometime in the near future:

Police detained six activists of the MKM, a women's separatist organisation, during a protest demanding the release of all Kashmiri youths detained in Indian jails and to stop what the MKM said are the human rights violation by Indian security forces on the Kashmiri people since a rebellion broke out in the Himalayan region at the end of 1989.

I've seen some pretty serious Islamic Rage Boy impersonators over the past year.

This guy totally takes the cake.

Totally.

He's got the stuff that legends are made of. Let's just see if he has the skill to succeed.

In the mean-time, any readers care to try their hand at naming our new rage dude? You know what to do.

My hat's off to Reuters photographer Fayaz Kabli, who captured this photograph with the most delicate of timing. Fayaz, that's some trigger finger you've got there!

Incidentally, from the looks of the photo, we've got a Rent-a-Riot Round-up going on in Srinagar, Kashmir at the moment. There are currently no Rage Boy Sightings on the wires, but I'm going to be keeping my eyes peeled. For live coverage, be sure to check out the Yahoo! slideshow from today's festivities.

Update: A legal way to embed the image? I'm game:



And before you ask:—Yes, that's all you get... for free. I'm just glad it's not another browser-killing Macromedia Flash object.

Something big's going on over in Srinagar today—Here's the first of a handful of familiar faces.

It's that time of year again, and the celebrations have begun! If you're not familiar with it, "Al Quds Day" is a day set aside by the Ayatollah Khameni and the Islamic Revolutionary government in Iran as a day for Muslims to march against "Western" "oppression". Never they mind the oppression brought upon them by their leaders, of course. The stability of their dictatorships depends on them directing their peons' anger externally, does it not?

Notice that Al Quds Day falls on the last Friday of Ramadan, a day in which all Muslims are encouraged to go to their mosques for prayer. It is in these mosques that the "Islamic public" is so easily whipped into a rage by their radical imams. So, in effect, this is the largest canned protest of the year.

Be sure to check back here all day, I'll be doing my best to keep up with the fun and games!

And here are last year's celebrations, so you know what to expect.

Update: This year's theme, parroted by every single group of brainwashed demonstrators, is "DOWN WITH ISRAEL."

If only International A.N.S.W.E.R. had as loyal a following as Tehran does, huh?

Original photo here.

Lookee lookee, it's a RBIT (pronounced "Ribbit," per the standards of Military Acronymification)



Mr. Bhat would definitely be proud. If he weren't so busy being angry, that is.

For more Rage Boys in Training, check out the extended version of this article. None of these guys can compare to the man himself, of course.

Update: Ouch, looks like Potfry & Co. got pwn3d by the Patent and Trade Office. You can always count on Gub'mint lawyers to remove any last vestige of fun from our public lives. Continue reading »

Yeah, it's not really news, but the Pope's speech seems to have sparked Muslim protests world-wide.

More pleasantry from the Religion of the Perpetually Offended. Keep your eye on this article—I'll be posting the photos from these protests as soon as they come across the wire. It always seems that Muslims spend the entire year preparing to protest, much like lefties, so I'm confident that we'll have some spectacular material here soon!

The basic premise of modern Islam? "Think like us, or we'll kill you."

There ya go. It truly is "the religion of peace," isn't it...?

UPDATE 16:11 EST: It seems that Hamas has joined the party. The sycophantic press, of course, is doing their best to present the protesters as helpless, unarmed civilians. We know better, though. Also, Confederate Yankee has noticed the "Hump" sign, and found it as amusing as we did. Continue reading »
