JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Fri Jan 16, 2015, 01:53 PM, and voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT ALONE.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: we had enough thin skinned ones around here to keep 100 juries busy
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Posting someone's else's work with no comment is absolutely acceptable. Thanks for wasting our time.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is the dumbest alert I have ever seen!!!
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: If cartoons like these are unacceptable on DU, that is a decision for the administrators to make, not a 7-person jury. So this is an easy call. Leave it alone.
Most of these look to be mainstream western editorial cartoons anyway.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Its commentary on a broader discussion going on now. I don't think any of them are hideworthy
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

Like the Hebdo cover image of a man that to me is simply racist, an Arab caricature holding a sign. Fred Sanders Jan 2015 #3

Yup, to a Western bigot cartoonist, they all look alike. It's sickening though to see it here. NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #6

One of the things I've wondered. alphafemale Jan 2015 #34

"Kenny Loggins" lol. ND-Dem Jan 2015 #68

Is it possible this may offend our muslim brothers ? Rhinodawg Jan 2015 #4

Maybe it's just gross and disgusting bigotry unbecoming a Progressive discussion board. NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #5

Apparently its ok. Rhinodawg Jan 2015 #7

It's OK if it's mainstream Western and the targets are furriners. NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #14

Unless they are racist jberryhill Jan 2015 #45

U a Christian? How did you feel about "Life of Brian" ? would you censor that? randys1 Jan 2015 #11

The discussions seem to be crossing each other jberryhill Jan 2015 #17

I think the intention is to entertain and inspire greyl Jan 2015 #55

publishing insulting cartoons is intended to inspire those who champion human rights? ND-Dem Jan 2015 #69

No, creating cartoons lampooning those who abuse human rights is. nt greyl Jan 2015 #72

Which cartoons are those? ND-Dem Jan 2015 #73

White people mocking themselves is not the same as White people mocking poor, disenfranchized sabrina 1 Jan 2015 #27

I nearly always agree with you sabrina hifiguy Jan 2015 #30

Easter or Eostre has even more Pagan roots than Christmas. alphafemale Jan 2015 #56

No, he wasn't. What does that have to do with my comment though? Many Christians, sabrina 1 Jan 2015 #59

Well, they are idiots. And should be mocked. alphafemale Jan 2015 #62

So we can mock the shit out of fat cat saud thugs and their fucked up religious beliefs? Warren Stupidity Jan 2015 #58

We can criticize them. We can criticize anyone, why mock people when it's just as easy to sabrina 1 Jan 2015 #60

Oh I don't know, how about over 2000 years of satire as an art form? Warren Stupidity Jan 2015 #61

How about a journalist reporting facts in the NYT? Should s/he be threatened with jail sabrina 1 Jan 2015 #63

you seem to be changing the subject. Warren Stupidity Jan 2015 #64

Okay then that explains YOUR position. I consider bombing and killing people for sabrina 1 Jan 2015 #65
