Islamic Rage Boy: The Boy, the Myth, the PhotoShops
Ever heard of Islamic Rage Boy? Snapped Shot has the background. He’s a professional protester with a gaping mouth, a scraggly beard and a strong right arm that is constantly raised, with fist clenched. He makes a lot of wire service photos. A lot, though we’re not saying he’s sleeping with any stringers. But we could.
And now he’s been parodied. Instead of 72 virgins waiting for him, he’s now got 72 PSs, including “The Scream” and “LOLcats.” His parents must be so proud. I guess it beats selling stolen cell phones and pumping gas from five-gallon cans to stranded cars out in Angerstan.
The Nose on Your Face gets in on the act.
Are We Lumberjacks goes into creative overdrive, PSing a famous football photo-turned-Internet meme as well as the late-breaking news about the Spice Girls reunion. Link to his RSS feed. You won’t be disappointed.
The Inquirer provides the bottom line: “Big media needs a picture of a stereotyped mad mullah to satisfy the prejudices about Arab unrest.” Read the whole article; it just gets funnier.
