We Got Mail!
Speaking of Swedish artist Lars Vilks and his dreaded cartoons of blasphemy, today a reader in Pakistan searched Google for “lars vilks” and found this LGF post from October 2007: An Artist and His Dog.
This got him the rage fix he was looking for, and he promptly used our contact form to fire off the following email:
i just want to say that,MUHAMMAD:PEACE BE UPON HIM,IS THE GREATEST GREATEST PERSON ON EARTH AND WILL REMAIN TILL THE END.HE IS THE TRUE MESSENGER OF GOD AND HE WILL BE remain.no MESSENGER AFTER HIM.HE WAS SO kind.one THING I WANT TO SHARE.DOGS LIKE LARS VIKS WILL BARK WILL BARK AND ALWAYS BARK BECAUSE THEY ARE THE TRUE DOGS AND PIGS AND THEIR TASK IS BARKING
As absurd as this email is, it doesn’t even begin to compare with the level of ugliness and venom I see in my daily hate mail from right wingers, furious at me for not joining with the teabaggers and the John Birchers and the Paulians, or for not being a creationist, or for not being a global warming denier, or for not believing Barack Obama is the Antichrist.
