Dalai-Dilemma

President Obama is trying to steal the Dali Lama, but since he was drawn too lanky, his rubber legs are wobbly and he looks really really sad.  Maybe a piggy back would have been the better choice. The Dali Lama is sleeping and has no idea Obama is trying to shoplift him out of China, who looks rearry rearry angry! Oh no.  If we don't start making China our allies soon (by returning the Dali Lama and saying we are rearry rearry sorry), we'll all be speaking Chinese at the largest concentration camp ever, called New York Shity!

A Good Taliban

Alright, this should make for an interesting dialogue.  If it's your first time coming to the site and you are seeing this, you may be thinking, "huh, that is a little insightful.  It's not the sharpest wit I've ever seen, but they are making fun of American Soldiers and actually trying really hard to make a point - so yeah, let's give them some credit."  WRONG!  If you've seen any other international cartoon posting, you'd quickly realize that Koreans can be racist, ignorant and blind about the rest of the world and what goes on in other places.

Usually I would laugh at a stupid cartoon like this and forget about it.  I'm very anti-war, very pro-make fun of the troops, but I guess I find it offensive because someone else is saying it.  Also, because Korea has never been in a situation like ours before in their countries short official life.  But Korea has never been a country in which there was a large amount of perspective being used everyday.  One of our students asked a friend why he was using Korean money.  They said, "Teacher, You American, You use America money!"

The Oscars

The little Golden Oscar man is shocked to see that there is another like him, similar in shape and frozen pose.  Yet this other is blue, huge, and it actually has hair.  Also, it has a really creepy smilie as if to say "bend over tradition.  I'm a take you all for myself!"

Rumors of Military Coup in Thailand

Captain Obvious is trying to overthrow Thailand's Government again...what a douche.

Karzai Extends Hand to Taliban

This is some Harry Potter shit:

Uncle Sam and some guy from the Taliban have agreed to meet at one of those coffee shops where the tables are all artsy and look like a chess board, except they are way too big to function properly. Uncle Sam and the Taliban representative then pull out their favorite American Girl Dolls to compare and Uncle Sam's starts to do the robot! This frightens the man from the Taliban (but not his Stereotype Taliban Girl doll!), so he ducks halfway under the table (like that ever helped anybody). Whilst Uncle Sam seems curious as to why his Stereotype Afghan Girl Doll has the power to dance.

Misguided Angels of Haiti

Well, I knew sooner or later they would make another Haiti cartoon. This one takes the cake for "Most Ridiculous Symbolism"

So, Haiti looks a lot worse than the last time we saw it. It's turned very gray, even those poorly drawn palm trees that used to be all green, have withered away on the god-forsaken tiny island that is, apparently, Haiti. A blind angel is stealing a child with it's eagle feet and his enlarged heart is exposed, which he is using as some sort of compass. He will probably die in a matter of seconds. But he doesn't know it because, you guessed it, he's blind. Hell, he probably doesn't even know he has eagle feet. I feel a lot worse for the mutated angel bird man than i do for the child. Besides, she'll land safely in the water.

But the situation in Haiti is no different than the situation in most U.S. states, (or in Korea, for that matter). Human trafficking is the second largest growing crime in America and my state, North Carolina, is the third largest state to bring, sell, buy and use humans against their will. Oh yes, there are a ton of trafficked humans in North Carolina, mainly focused in the Raleigh area and slowly moving out to surrounding cities. I think last year, they even found 150 trafficked men working on some guys farm about 20 miles outside of Chapel Hill.

Steve Jobs Unveils iPad

Boy Howdy! Today, I present you with a religious Parody!

And we thought the cartoonist didn't have a shred of wit! Steve Jobs is Moses, coming down from Mt. Sinai, although here, it's more like Jobs was taking a stroll with his new iPads. It seems he's been chatting it up with God (Steve Wozniak) again and has a new commandment: "Thous shall read a newspaper everyday again." What the hell? It's not like just because someone buys an iPad means that they will start reading the newspaper again. If you haven't been reading the newspaper everyday it's because you have either have no time, no money, or no motivation to ask the delivery boy to toss the paper on your doorstep. It's no amazing feat in this day and age to get a newspaper daily and I don't see how it's any easier when you have an iPad. Besides, those things cost like $500. If you weren't broke before (and you are my age) you will be broke when Steve Jobs finishes with you.
