Yep. I KNOW! Now that you've read it, its obvious isn't it? Everybody knows that any and all ills that affect the Muslim nations are due to good ol' American Imperialism. (well, when its not the Israelis, Zionists, French or UK imperialists, etc etc). Especially such things as right-wing Islamic militants who have been fighting there for decades.
You gotta laugh.
Throbbing Media Organ!!!! Stop. you are killing me.

I was thinking of making it 'Essa Al Zedjali's throbbing organ', but I thought that would've been too prone to potential confusion...
...and not, frankly, an image I ever want to have to contemplate again.
ReplyDeleteEw.
Muscato,
