Are you fucking serious? They play all of those racist, sexist and pedophilia jokes, and they wouldn't show the cartoons of Muhammad? And this was within minutes of the Brits being self-congratulatory about how quick they were to make jokes about the Tube bombings?


Don't be angry, look at it as they intended you to:
By NOT doing it, they amplified their own point excellently. This was extraordinary use of literary irony. They were not actually being cowards so much as they were showing that even such an offensive documentary as this particular one is "so scared" that they would not go so far as to show these cartoons. It says "we have no holds barred... none... OK, except this one that scares us to death..." More often than not, NOT showing the scary scene is more scary than showing it full on screen. It makes you say "Dang! Not even these lot would venture that far, WOW!"

(just found these comments, late though it is, thought I'd respond.)

Hi direpickle (love the name!) I think the you tube description is pretty poor, its not well written, I will take some time to write my own synopsis of the video - thanks for the feedback

Wow. I want to change my vote after reading the from-Youtube description. That made my head hurt--and I don't mean from the technical jargon.
