Thunderf00t: Why We Won on Draw Mohammad Day

From YT: Previously 12 cartoons had resulted in cartoons that prompted embassy burnings, death threats and murders, all of which had a significant chilling effect on the free press of the West.

Now, after Draw Mohammad Day, there are over 12000 cartoons, and the Islamic world has been shown to be essentially toothless.

I highly doubt if it's fair to blame Matt Stone and Trey Parker from South Park for caving in. I think Viacom wouldn't allow them to air the episode like they wanted to. Also I doubt they had anything to do with the take-down notice, because they have said from the start they don't mind people using their stuff, only Viacom does.

I think Thunderf00t is making something out of nothing. I mean it was pretty cool and all, but at the same time, how hard is it to find people on the internet willing to poke fun at something? Not very...

Agreed. I mean comparing people drawing cartoons to those who actually fought in WW2?* I hardly think posting a cartoon from the relative anonymity and safety of the web compares. In fact, I think it's drawing more on this phenomenon than on any sense of outraged defiance.


* Yes, I know the quote is from Shakespeare's Henry V, but I think the tv show is more prevalent in popular culture.

This guy is such an obnoxious arse. This video leads me to believe that he's just a drama llama. He loves drama.

"And me?..................... (dramatic pause)............... i did................what i had to do!!! ..............................................."

("LAUD ME NOT FOR I AM A MERE MORTAL WHO STOOD TO BE COUNTED. DO NOT PRAISE ME, DO NOT WORSHIP ME, I ONLY DID WHAT WAS NECESSARY!!!!!!!!!!")

He does something that is probably a decent move for free speech, and then ruins it all with 10 minutes of self-backslapping and solo-high-fiving.

Serious negative respect for this frood.

I don't think he's blaming Stone and Parker, I understood it as 1/10 because Viacom employed them, otherwise it would have been 0/10. His comment was a bit vague though and I could see how it could also be interpreted from your angle as well.

Yeah, his initial videos were entertaining, but he has indeed become far too wrapped up in his own self importance. I haven't upvoted his last couple of videos for that very reason, he's not really being part of the solution at all.

And who the f*ck does he think he is to be giving out scores to others... get stuffed.

'I did what I had to do'... um... made a couple of videos from the safety of anonymity, well done sir... well done.

'As for me, I did what I had to do,... and I get a 10 out of 10. I made some sweet vidz about how much churches are lame, and i fucking kicked-out like 8 drawringz of dudes with towel hats, which was totally amazing of me.'
