Need a quick Million? Well all you gotta do is identify, capture and possibly kill a certain Danish artist or artists who pissed off devoted muslims with depictions of Prophet Mohammed (Peace Be Upon Him) in a cartoon. (click for full article)
One of the cartoons drawn was of Mohammed (Peace Be Uponn Him) wearing a turban in the shape of a bomb. How insensitive and childish can any artists be? And to think that the newspaper editors went with printing the blasphemous cartoons. Shame on them. Now of course they want to hide behind their Freedom of the press. France, with their uppity attitude, decided to reprint the cartoons again, after all the controversy and protests of late. That's just down right taunting if you ask me. What ever happened to morals and good judgement in journalism? Oops, I forgot, we haven't gotten to the point of responsible reporting yet. It's obvious that the journalistic world feels they've done nothing wrong. Here's what Blicher Bjerregaard, president of the Danish Journalist Union and spokesman for the cartoonists, had to say:
"It is totally absurd what is happening. The cartoonists just did their job and they did nothing illegal," he said.
Well Blicher B., I hate to tell you this but it's not a question of legality, but a question of right and wrong. It was wrong and unfortunately for your cartoonists, those who they pissed off don't play by your rules. Maybe Blicher needs to watch a few viewings of Scarface to get a better understanding of the word respect and what some will do to earn it.
Myself, I don't need that kind of blood money that badly, but I'm betting that someone, somewhere has already began plotting to collect the bounty. Kind of reminds me of that old Sam Peckinpah movie "Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia (1974)." That title says it all really. Warren Oates stars as an American piano player stuck in rural Mexico. He hears about a large bounty on the head of Alfredo Garcia, a man who impregnated a wealthy landowner's daughter. He hits the road with his girlfriend (Isela Vega), but his trip soon turns into a murderous and nightmarishly personal odyssey. Oates winds up driving around with the head in a burlap bag swarming with flies, and talking to it (referring to it as "Al") as if it were the only soul in the world he can trust.
I wouldn't put it past the Danish artists' co-workers to at least consider turning them in for say half the money. Money like that brings out the cold heartedness of many a criminal. We do know one thing for sure, the coward cartoonists hiding behind freedom of the press will not be drawing any more blasphemous depictions of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) or any other religious figures that command respect no time soon.
So you still need a quick Million? Bring Me The Head Of .........
