In a twisted way it trivializes their cause, thus almost negating their purpose in the first place.
Was it tactful? Not really. But a lot more ing tactful than retaliating with another suicide bomber. |

i can't even see the picture (what is it???), but everything can be offensive to anyone these days.
case in point: back in the day when i worked at stars, we had this promo poster for some summer drink. and people found it offensive because the two drinks apparently looked like the twin towers and there was a bee flying around in the background which obviously meant it was a plane. :rolleyes: give me a ing break.
but i digress...
i'm sick of being all politically correct...as those who have witnessed me in my offensive prime know. ;) (and it is truly a sight to behold lol.) |

I think people are just more ticked off that it's little kid in a suicide bomber costume.
Heck, I'm about non PC as it comes, but there are just limits to what kids should be... taught as amusing. |

That's basically how I felt about it. This isn't praise for suicide bombers, it's a mockery of them.
It just looks so ridiculous seeing a white kid in that costume, especially with the expression on his face - hopefully people had a good look at him and perhaps unconsciously considered that it's no less ridiculous when it's a Muslim kid with real explosives. |
