Satirical Cartoons.
This is an important freedom of expression issue, how, in a pluristic secular society, with seperation of church and state, people are allowed to satirize and wimps like CNN and the CBC have caved in to some extremists. The irony that a national magazine has Kanye West as Jesus on its cover, which I'm sure has offended some Christians, and we don't hear a peep from them because they understand that occasionally things that bother you pop up in the media and you learn to turn off the TV or computer, cancel your subscription or organize a boycott. I support all the newspapers around the world that showed their readers what exactly all the fuss was about.
