Jesus.


Hastily Posted by Blaine Fridley, Editor-in-Chief/Human Beatbox

Knowing as I do that the NY Post could easily be sold as The Xenophobe Gazette and Daily Reader for Slack-jawed Conservatards, it would be silly of me to get too worked up over anything that gets printed in it. It is, after all, owned by the FOX News Corp.

But today, mixed-in with the usual array of mad-libs, pop-ups, coloring activities and stories written in 16-font type with full-page color photos was this gem from cartoonist Sean Delonas:

Hmm.

Now, what comes immediately to mind when you see this? Is it the explanation from Archie Bunker aka Col Allan, NY Post's editor-in-chief:

Now, citing the fuck-nutty attention-whore Al Sharpton to strengthen a point is something I generally attempt to avoid, because, well, his credibility is slightly less than that of the NY Post itself.
<----Today's edition of the NY Post
But to think anybody of reasonable intelligence (which, obviously rules out any NY Post reader. Too easy, I know. But not ripping FOX News and consumers of FOX News is like putting a fresh piece of bubble wrap in front of me and expecting me to refrain from popping it) would not immediately make the correlation between the dead cartoon chimp and our president is utterly delusional. And that's BEFORE even considering the cartoonist's reputation. Here's a look at some past work:

Considering the paper it was printed in,
I'm going to guess this isn't lampooning the
gay marriage-as-a-gateway-to-bestiality crowd.


Zing! Two men getting married?
Now I've seen EVERYTHING!

But again, what else can be expected from what Chuck D. once called "America's oldest continuously published daily piece of bullshit"?

the NY post has THE craziest cover pages . . . once they had a picture of a stripper at some high class strip joint with some caption like "Distressed NY Bankers turn to booze and strippers to cope with struggling economy" . . . .i laughed
