OH, what a giggle we had trawling through over 80 entries we had for our June caption contest!
But the hard bit was choosing a winner.
In the end, we said sod the accountants, let’s award THREE prizes of a year’s subscription to the Freethinker to:
• Rog – With the tide rising and her feet encased in concrete, Fatima began to regret espousing her feminist views within earshot of a mosque …
• NonEuclidean – Hakmed finally fulfills his long time fantasy of seeing what his sister’s like in the sack.
• Jed – He looked longingly into his Muslim dominatrix’s eyes and his thoughts turned to his next rubber gloved hand job …
We thought we’d give an honorable mention to:
• Angela K – Arrrgh! I’ve saved the wrong woman from drowning!
• George Stevenson – Is that the great minaret of Malwiyya, greatest of the Iraqi Samarra in your pocket, or are you just pleased to see me?
• Sherd Nerd – At the crucial moment, Death realised he’d forgotten his scythe.
• McGrath – When you’re wet you’re even more beautiful, Jamima, Oh! sorry – Fatima.
• Stewart – Bear with me, darling. As soon they permit gay marriage you won’t have to wear it anymore.
Claiming your prize couldn’t be easier – just email your postal address to barry@freethinker.co.uk, and we’ll put you on our mailing list.
The contest, incidentally, prompted us to delve further into the subject of modest swimwear for Muslimas (females of the Muslim persuasion, for those unacquainted with the term) and we found these two amusing creations, as well as a curious picture of colourful mini-burqas used apparently in some Islamic countries to cover bottles. Why would anyone want to do that, unless …?
The black thing in the centre – a much less Smurflike burqini – was recently unveiled at the Islamic Sport & Swimwear store in Sydney. The model is Mecca LaaLaa. No, honestly, that really is her name.
The Freethinker was founded in 1881 by GW Foote, an outspoken critic of religion. After the publication of

I really need one of those bottle burkas!

Don't leave us hanging Dave. Tell us why!

I figure if a bottle of finest vintage is shrouded in an all-encompassing burka, I'll be less tempted to have sex with it.

I think you're onto something there Dave – *reaches for sewing machine to knock up burka mitts for teenage Muslim boys*
July 2nd, 2009 at 8:19 pm
Obviously, we all have different ideas of what is really funny!
Are sum mails Muslimas, BTW?

Bottle burkas? No, these are used for "forcing" rhubarb!

Is it just my opinion, or is a fact that the third panel of the second image looks like it's from a Victims of Pacman convention?
July 3rd, 2009 at 8:23 am
I`ve never even heard of Victims of Pacman, nullifidian! I thought you meant "Victims of Paxman" there for one moment – that might have made SOME sense!!

This might help.

I was right – they`ve all been on Newsnight!!!

Some people find feet very sexually arousing, but the costume does not appear to cover them! Shome mishtake shurely? (Please don`t mention "sexy hands, fingers, lips, eyes, etc….."!!)

There's a little bit extra material, like a little bag, at the back of the head of that one in blue. Is this for catching their brains when the taliban shoot them for exposing face hands and feet?

"Sit on my face" gets new meaning with a bottle with a burka
July 4th, 2009 at 8:47 am
If they had any brains they wouldn't be dressed like f***ing idiots!
July 4th, 2009 at 7:02 pm
Now we know what they mean by the phrase "Filled with the Spirit"!! No wonder those happy-clappy Christians have got a permanent smile on their faces, Dave!!!

At least that blue costume won`t be banned on the grounds that it unfairly enhances the competitor`s performance!
