Just had a look at this three years after posting it. You’re right, it is offensive. I can’t remember my frame of mind at the time of linking to it, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t an angry one (like the authors of the site). I’m guessing I simply found it amusing. I just had a look through the various pages of the site, and hasten to say (hasten being sort of an ill-used word, since three years have passed…) that I don’t actually agree with the site, and think, for instance, that boycotting Muslims is a dumb, chauvinistic idea, etc etc.

I find it offensive, but I won’t be burning any embassies over it…

A little blunt Dezik, but I agree with the sentiment.

Come on, Bren. You’ve got to agree that’s being pretty offensive. This isn’t me being pinko lefty or anything. Unless that site is a piss-take – I haven’t visited it for long enough to get a proper view – then it’s pretty wicked stuff. I’m all for free speech, in Denmark as anywhere else, but this site suggests we ‘boycott Muslims’, which is a touch bonkers. And that giant ‘fuck you’ is certainly not from ALL Danes to the ENTIRE Muslim world.

Maybe I’m just having a massive sense of humour failure. It’s almost 4 in the morning…

Seen this? Warning: Some explicit language, but still worth a look. It's funny, and it's about the Danish cartoons.
