I couldn't help but laugh at the similarities in the pictures for each post, but the obviously different connotation each picture has.

And for what it's worth, I have nothing against "Rage Boy," whoever he might be. He may very well have good reasons for protesting the things he protests -- but it's interesting how his picture has become a kind of visual shorthand. Thanks, Sulemaan.

You take some poor person who doesn't have more than a basic elementary education (if that) and they ecome the poster child for all global muslim protest. Go figure. I think your point on laziness by the press is a valid one Mathew.
