DO NOT LAUGH AT THE CRAZY EXPLOSIVE PEOPLE

“There’s nothing very funny about murderous fanaticism,” scolds Sydney Alternative Media. “It’s not really a fit subject for satire either from T shirts indicative of an immature carefree or frivolous attitude as here spotted at Bondi 27th Dec 2007 ...”

Oh, I don’t know. If you can’t laugh at murderous fanatics, what can you laugh at?

  1. I think Mr Jihad has his alfoil in the wrong place.

  2. It’d be even funnier if there was a little grey beard on the cartoon and it was being worn in Lakemba. Go, you brave cultural warrior, you!

  3. Actually, now that I have a closer look, is that….Jesus?

    Posted by CB on 2007 12 30 at 04:48 AM • permalink

  4. Yeah, but jokes about assassinating George W. Bush are absolutely hilarious.

    Jesus F. Hucking Christ these wankers make me sick.

    Maybe Australia (or the world) should have a national Mo-toon day where we all wear a T-shirt with Mo on it. Just to make the point that ALL religions may be equally made fun of, not just the safe ones.

  5. I love it! As you ay Tim:If you can’t laugh at murderous fanatics, what can you laugh at?

    I was in Bali just after the first Bali bombing and the T Shirts on sale at the time were a little less subtle, saying simply”:

    FUCK TERRORISTS

  6. I’d wear it.
    But not when I’m visiting me Mum in Bankstown.
    I may look stupid…

  7. Don’t think this is what it seems. Look at the way the bloke in the T-shirt is holding his drink. This is actually an advert for Boost being presented as news. The sneaky little capitalists.

    Hello, is that Media Watch? I want to report an appalling case of the media advertising   under the guise of legitimate news. The news outlet? No, no it’s not 2GB. No, not the Daily Telegraph either. It’s Sydney Alternative Media. Hello. Hello. Are you still there. Think they hung up on me.

  8. All it needs is a picture on the back of 72 camels.

  9. We presume Hicks was desperate to get out of Afghanistan after the WTC 2001 horror but for what future purpose is her question and even louder today.
    Just what sort of alternative medication is the   “editor” on?

    Posted by lotocoti on 2007 12 30 at 05:54 AM • permalink

  10. #9. Agreed, locoti. I thought Hicks went to Afghanistan after 9/11/2001.

    As for the tshirt? I am so there.

  11. #7 nice insight, Contrail.

  12. It’s ironic that the guy in the picture is holding a Boost cup that says “love life”.

    If only the jihadists thought the same. They love life enough to blow themselves up.

  13. All right it’s official. I got no idea what we’re laughing at. Sillyass Tshirts or that paragraph in the link. WTF is that about? Something about Hicks and a James Wood movie about El Salvador. Is it official, I’m over my head here?

  14. Mr. Jihad walked into a bar ...

  15. Is that the gelato bar in the background? YUM

  16. I was depressed last night so I called Lifeline.

    Got a call center in Pakistan.

    I told them I was suicidal.

    They got all excited and asked if I could drive a truck.

  17. In re; over my head; found out yesterday an old friend passed away from cancer on Christmas Day. Got tossed out of a bar tonight because of my reaction to it.Shit.Damn cancer.shit.

  18. Isn’t Sydney Alternative Media an offshoot of Indymedia? AKA Nazimedia.

    Why am I unsurprised?

  19. Maybe the penny is starting to drop with some of these dickheads that lining up with terrorists is not exactly “sticking it to the Man”, but is a seriously dangerous lifestyle choice.

    Especially those like the subject of the photo above with arm muscles like wet noodles and a physique like Mr Bean.

  20. Here’s a picture of Megan Gale, Jennifer Hawkins and Britney Spears modelling the “Mrs Jihad” line of clothing.

  21. well there’s something to look forward too.

    BTW ran into Megan Gale on friday in the Queen St Mall.  Unfortunately not physically.

  22. More from the SydAltMedia story:

    We awoke intending to write on David Hicks cross referencing Waleed Aly above noticing some threads of a potential trend.

    Sydney Alternative Grammar, I guess.

  23. #16, I am so stealing that!

    Love the T-shirt. And Boost drinks are pretty good too!

  24. #16 Habib,

    LOL!

    I read your comment before church this morning and couldn’t help chuckling through Mass. Got some disapproving looks.

  25. #17. Dean, cancer is a bitch. Condolences for your loss and for the family of your friend.

  26. Habib, I think Kae had a version of that a few weeks back.

    Good to see it’s getting around lol.

  27. #17, condolences, dean martin.  It’s tough to lose a friend, especially at this season.

  28. And presumbaly a small percent really are and this keeps us going in terms of faith in our mission of truth and justice.

    We can hope that jihadism will be ridiculed out of existence in 2008 (not likely, but we can hope).  We can also hope that lefties will learn to spell words like “presumably”.  Also not likely.

  29. Is that the new mascot for the London Olympics?

  30. Saw a t-shirt at Pt Douglas yesterday that made me laugh:

    “Some days it is just not worth chewing through the restaints.”

    That one got me for some reason…..

  31. #13 dean… All right it’s official. I got no idea what we’re laughing at.
    ever heard of the Mr Men children’s books? Mr Messy, etc? If you haven’t, that would explain not getting the joke, which I agree, isn’t exactly earth-shattering.

    Posted by daddy dave on 2007 12 30 at 07:30 PM • permalink

  32. #17 I’m very sorry to hear it Dean. It’s never easy to lose a friend. Condolences to you, and the rest of their family and friends.

  33. Woohoo! This post has copped an Instalanche.

    Quick - tuck in your shirts! Act normal!

    Posted by Dan Lewis on 2007 12 30 at 08:36 PM • permalink

  34. #33 Act normal, but tuck in my shirt? That ain’t acting normal Dan. Don’t confuse me!

    Posted by Ash_ on 2007 12 30 at 08:43 PM • permalink

  35. #30, saw a shirt a while ago that said “Shut up voices, or I’ll poke you with a Q-tip again.”

  36. As long as we’re talking about t-shirt comments, maybe one or some of you can explain this bumper sticker I saw in Florida:

    “Life’s too short to fish with a dead cricket.”

    There was small print too, but Mr. H drove by too fast and wouldn’t go back to let me read it.

    Posted by RebeccaH on 2007 12 30 at 10:08 PM • permalink

  37. #35 - I like the “You’re just jealous ‘cause the voices only talk to me” one.

  38. So who’s selling these? They need to make them available online. I’d buy one. I think it’s effing hilarious.
