Update:

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!

Update again:

This has gotten so popular, that I'm making a game out of spotting Rage Boy. If you run across him in your local newspaper and/or friendly website, be sure to let me know!

Update: Rage Boy hits the BBC. CAIR responds, as they are wont to do.

Major Update: Rage Boy has made it to NPR! I'll have the audio and transcript shortly.

Update: Rage Boy has been published in The Daily Mail (UK). Snapped Shot's reaction and commentary is here.
