San Francisco artist, Dino Ignacio, started Bert is Evil!, a humor site on which, as a running joke, he attempted to prove the muppet Bert was "evil" by inserting him into photographs with notorious people and infamous historical scenes. After Ignacio stopped updating his site, "Bert is Evil!" enthusiasts kept the gag going posting new pictures, including an image of Bert posing with Osama bin Laden ("ObL"). [Continued below.] | ||

The picture of muppet Bert with ObL was inadvertently picked up by a moron supporter of ObL [if that's not redundant] who was scouring the web looking for photographs of ObL to use in a collage-like poster. The ObL poster -- with the muppet -- was displayed at rallies by thousands of moron protesters proclaiming their stupidity to the world and appeared in photographs carried by news agencies such as Reuters and Associated Press. | ||

The photo on the left was taken near the Temple Mount in Jerusalem,
April 6, 2001, by Evelyn Hockstein, a Reuters photographer. The
pro-Palestinian press widely publicized the photo as an example of
the brutality of Israeli police against an innocent Palestinian child
which, in this instance, caused the terrified child to wet himself. The photo on the right taken just minutes earlier by Natalie Behring, also a Reuters photographer, somehow failed to be as widely distributed as the first, thus depriving the world of the full story behind the first photo...but, of course that would not have served the biased media's agenda. First thought, does anyone doubt that the child's throwing arm would have been cut off if he had been caught throwing rocks at the authorities of one of the Middle-Eastern nations ruled by Islamofascist practitioners of the religion of peace? Second, what the heck are the child's parents doing letting him throw rocks at soldiers...oh yeah, that's right, we've seen time and time again that Palestinian parents hate Jews more than they love their children...never mind. |
