Might be ‘offensive’ to 7th-century Islamofascist savages.
This is bullshit:

A five-year-old girl’s passport application was rejected because her photograph showed her bare shoulders.

Hannah Edwards’s mother, Jane, was told that the exposed skin might be considered offensive in a Muslim country.

This is the real threat from Muslim extremists. I’m not really worried that they’ll conquer the free world by force and chop off our leaders’ heads. Instead, they’ll capitalize on our fear of offending anyone, back that up with subtle threats at violence, and gradually erode our liberties in the name of “sensitivity.”

Screw that. Got any bare-shoulder pics? Send ‘em my way, and I’ll put up a montage here and at Lone Star Times.

Angelina sez: “Up yours, savages!”

Props to Benzion for sending this one along. This was my very favorite Sesame Street song growing up, though I never heard it in Hebrew before:

Last time I checked (in April), the following countries had experienced the unbridled joy that is my blog:

That distinguished list just got a bit longer. Here’s the current MattMap:

The most significant gains were in poor, less-developed regions, like South America, sub-Saharan Africa, Eastern Europe and Detroit. Readership in Scandinavia and the Middle East grew nicely as well.

The inevitable spread continues…

I just got the following unsolicited email written in Hebrew. I guess spam is Kosher now:

כמה זה עלה?

• מחיר שיחה לנייד של רשת מירס. זהו.

התחייבויות, חוזים?

• לא! תתקשר מכל קוו (גם טלפון שקלים, וגם טלקארד שבחוץ),
  מתי שבא לך, כמה שבא לך, ללא התחייבות, ובלי הרשמה.

הטלפון שלי בבית חסום לשיחות לחו”ל, מה עושים?

• מתקשרים, זה לא חסום לשיחות למירס.

ומה יופיע בחשבון חודשי?

• החיוב מופיעה כחלק מהחיובים של חברות סלולאר (מירס).

ולאן אפשר להתקשר?

I’ll task the Mattsapundit Semitic Languages Directorate on this immediately.
