Zarqawi the Pinhead cartoon causes carnage

By
John Breneman

Enraged by an editorial cartoon morphing the face of terror
god Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi with the body of animated enigma
Zippy the Pinhead, radical anti-pinhead extremists burned
Humor Gazette offices in Denmark and Afghanistan.

Rioters carrying banners chanted "Death to the users
and makers of Adobe PhotoShop™!!"

Protesters also burned effigies of IBS News anchorman Reid
Page, who had insulted the Islamic fashion world by accidentally
referring to Zarqawi’s "turban" as a "turd
bin."

Also during last night’s 13 O’Clock News broadcast, the controversial
fake newsman flattened a glob of Silly Putty over a newspaper
cartoon of Muhammad and then stretched the prophet’s inky
likeness into funhouse mirror-like shapes while making silly
voices.

Muslim and Christian pundits joined together in denouncing
Page as an "idiot."

Humor
Gazette/IBS News is under increasing pressure not to publish
a cartoon entitled "Muhammad the Menace," in which
the face of boxing champ Muhammad Ali is superimposed onto
the body of Dennis the Menace. Ali/Dennis is seen hollering
at a policeman, "Listen up if you ever wanna see the
infidel Mr. Wilson again!!"

President Bush this morning consulted the Wizard of Id for
guidance. Hagar the Horrible could not be reached for comment.
