So, it’s not quite as religious as the other stuff I’ve been getting you watching these last few Saturdays. In fact, it’s down right secular… But it has it’s routes in religion.

Now, if the Jews got in trouble for badly producing terrible cartoons with low production values and ripping off Top40 tracks, one has to wonder precisely what circles of Hell are saved for those with even worse production values and ripping off famous Disney characters whilst they’re still within their copyright period (that keeps getting extended everytime the sunset clause begins to draw to a close on the copyright terms… butthat’s a post for another time)

With that said, one can’t help but take sick delight in the Arab/Israeli conflict when it’s depicted in this way. There just seems to be something rather fitting about a Mickey Mouse being a martyr. I think it’s the gross consumerism of it all, using one of the most mass marketed and easily recognisable icons of the 20th century, something that has basically become an icons or idol if you will to millions of people, and using this said idol to basically spread the message of The Prophet.

Good going there guys, you’ve really thought through the philosohpical and moral underpinnings of this one.

Then again, if you’re the kind of person that decides to create programming designed to encourage children to blow shit up, with themselves at the epicenter, as opposed to attempting to negotiate some kind of peaceful solution and break a century old cycle of violence, I suppose you probably haven’t.
