From The Journal:
TWO FEMALE POLITICAL leaders – including the most powerful woman in Europe – have been photoshopped out of an historic image of world leaders showing solidarity after the Charlie Hebdo terror attacks.
“Orthodox Jewish title have previously been criticised for editing female leaders out of photographs on the grounds of “modesty”.”
How silly:smack:
The Haredim should form a country with the Saudis, the FDLS, the Duggars and that cult that Mel Gibson belongs to and leave the rest of us alone.
So, is the paper afraid their readers are going to whack off to any pictures they run of female politicians, or what?
Oooooh, AHN-guh-la, you are so sexy I cannot contain myself!!
So…your takeaway on a bunch of Jews being murdered is “A newspaper did something silly but pretty much meaningless”.
Interesting priorities man.
Come on. Are we not to talk about anything related to this incident except the tragedy? Besides, there’s already a Pit thread about the tragedy itself.
Are you for fucking real?
Irish satire newspaper Waterford Whispers News’ response.
Not only that, but while it’s not on the scale of murder, i’d hardly call it meaningless that a news organization in the early 21st century chooses to excise one-half of the population from its visual representations of news.
I think it’s fair to say that Fenris is a crazy person.
That is not fair to say.
Now that I see what she was wearing, that post about fapping doesn’t sound so far out.
Hey! Can we photoshop Obama in to the pictures? That would really help him out. Kthx!
No. Cold truth often sounds unfair.
I say we photoshop him in twice. Double plus good!
Do you think if we paid them enough, they would?
I’d pay a week’s pay, if we throw in ISIS and al-Qaeda.
I fucking love it. Seriously. Bribe the crazies to keep it to themselves for a couple decades.
Our response to “terrorists killed cartoonists because they think their religion trumps everyone’s reality” is “don’t photoshop out women because you think your religion trumps the rest of the world’s reality.”
There’s some weapons-grade irony there.
It’s almost like a bunch of assholes want to… censor… what’s allowed in the paper… and another bunch of assholes want to censor what’s in the paper covering… the first set of assholes…
I hereby coin the phrase recursive irony.
I can haz recursive irony?
Dammit… I almost googled it to see if it had been invented already.
Stupid internet means everything’s already been thought up.
