Not My Amazing Post

OK, the amazing post will be coming soon, but not today. I just have other stuff to talk about today.

So, about the whole insulting people thing. What I do, is I have another blog that none of you know about and none of you know where it is. That's where I get my emotions out and that's where I insult you.

Anyway. The reason I put this post first is because there's been something going on at the U of S that has hit the media, so I figured you'd all want to know about it. If you haven't heard about it, go here.

So yeah, this is about our own CARTOON CONTROVERSY!!!! So, the Sheaf published a cartoon that was deemed offensive to some people. I received an e-mail from the President of the university, Peter McKinnon. Here's what it said:

I feel I must publicly communicate with our campus community on what I have just seen in the student newspaper.

In the February 23 edition of the Sheaf, the editors explained that they would not publisk the controversial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. It is surprising that they did not excercise similar restraint in their decision to publish "Capitalist Piglet" in the March 2 issue of the paper. This is a cartoon that is certain to cause distress to members of our community. It has divisive shock value only and does nothing to advance the understanding or debate for which universities should be distinguished.

The Sheaf should apologize to us all.

President

Now, I read this cartoon when it came out, and I have to admit...I laughed at it. I didn't find it offensive, but I don't get offended too easily. Anyway, maybe I'm making things worse, but here's the cartoon:

(Just click on it to see the larger view)

So, as you can see, 3 of the 4 comics could be taken as offensive by followers of Christianity.

So anyway, the new Sheaf came out today. They issued a public apology and the editor-in-chief submitted his resignation.

I think the thing that pisses me off the most is this letter that appeared in this newest addition of The Sheaf:

The cartoons in this week's paper were disgusting. The content of your newspaper has been tasteless in the past, but this week's material was especially sad. Why would you even consider printing such disrespetful and potentially hurtful material? It's embarrassing to be featured in the same paper. I've talked to Kent about it and we no longer want to be published in your paper, unless White Ninja is featured in another section. Thanks for the years of press. Please consider getting some tact. -Scott Bevan

FUCK!!!!! Damn I love White Ninja. It was pretty much 99% of the reason why I even bother with the Sheaf. Thank-god White Ninja has a website and I can go there to read the comics. But fuck, Sheaf, YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!!!!!
