What is Patricia saying about condoms ? Maybe we should promote the old Catholic way of birth control. Can you say rhythm boys and girls ?

We had the same uproar in Portugal about a cartoon depitcting the former pope with a condom in his nose. It was in 1992 and it provoked an internatonal scandal. But it was published, in one of the largest newspappers, “Expresso”. The same paper is about to publish another one, from the same cartoonist, and is asking the readers waht they think. Check it out here:

Most readers agree with the publication, despite this beeing one of the most chatolic countries in Europe (so they keep saying…), which is a great sign of the times.

Well, Dave, you’re right – I’m wrong! It had to happen some day. I’m sorry I called you a w o a r d c. You are clearly a very brave Dave.

I’m amazed that you lived to tell the tale after publishing those cartoons.

Anyway, I take it you’ve read our blog thread on the Evil Times and the Condom Con? You could make some great cartoons of all the
o d i t i s who still promote condoms despite the facts. How do you design a virus wearing a condom? That WOULD be tricky…

But, still, credit where credit’s due – you’ve done what better men have failed to do – made a right old oditi out of moi! See if I care…

In addition, The Freethinker was the only print publication in the UK to reproduce, without apology, all of the Danish Motoons. And images of Mohammed feature regularly it the magazine.

Dear Patricia, Look here, and here, and here, and here. Apologies accepted in advance. Oh, and rearrange this... o d i t i

You have missed the point. You will never get a visit from any kind of police, for publishing a nasty cartoon of the Pope – any pope. Try publishing a similar cartoon of Muhammed or any other espected Muslim figure.

Well, will you?

If I’d know you moderated comments, I wouldn’t have bothered. It is highly unlikely to get through the censorship. Will be delighted to be proven wrong.

No, didn’t think you would. Re-arrange this word into a well known adjective…

One man’s religion is another man’s poison: This man’s religion is definitely poison to developing countries.

Broga,

I agree. I was just saying the same thing the other day. I have a good chuckle at many posts and it makes all the shit we read about on here more bearable. When I first started reading this blog, Bob was a regular and I remember commenting then on how funny the responses to his posts were and that I was grateful for him posting for that reason.

It definitely helps keep us all sane!

Keep up the good work lads and lassies!!
