The problem with the Danish cartoons is their lack of pigpuppets

I've seen the Danish editorial cartoons, and frankly, I didn't like them. They were unfunny and kind of embarrassing the way portraying a Chinese leader in a pointy straw hat would be kind of embarrassing. However, the response of the fundamental Muslim world was of course disproportionate and repugnant, and the resulting reaction to the reaction from our fundies depressingly, hypocritically predictable. As Sirkowski said: "The wingnuts are just as hypocrites as the Muslim fundies on this. They are outraged that the Muslims are angry at a joke made at the expense of the their prophet. While at the same time, the Christo-fascists pop a blood vessel when Kanye West dresses as Jesus. The fact is, they’re all idiots laughing at other idiots."

Now this is the kind of disrespectful humor I can get behind:
