Palestine's Mickey Mouse says death to America, Israel

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

While his girlfriend has been working for the Chinese as “a cat with very large ears,”, the New York Daily News reports that Mickey Mouse- or at least a poorly-built replica- has been moonlighting as Farfur, a popular Palestinian kids show host. The Palestinian Media Watch, which brought this show to light, has a clip on its website. Farfur, who speaks Arabic in a poor imitation of Mickey’s trademark falsetto, encourages young Islamists to kill the infidels and promises victory over President Bush, Condoleeza Rice, and Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon- whom Farfur quickly adds has already died (incorrectly- Sharon is still alive, though he has been comatose for over a year). A spokesperson for Walt Disney Co. declined comment.

This is both hilarious (in a bad way, of course) and creepy. I’m reminded of Hitler- you know, if he was a giant mouse.

There was always something about that mouse that made me suspicious about him.

Perhaps my bullshit detector needs calibration, but I don’t believe for a second that that’s an accurate account of an actual kid’s show. Surely there’s something in the Koran that forbids Islamic radicalism from preaching its message through falsetto-voiced cartoon characters.

Extremists will twist and contort the meaning of the Koran so that they can justify almost anything “in the name of God”

Before reading this thread, I started a pitting about this show. For those who are angrier about this than MPSIMS, jump in the water’s fine.
