I'm goin' down to South Park the Middle East...

Seems those Wild and Crazy Emirates are at it again. An Arab airline has hijacked the look of the cartoon kids from television's "South Park" to market its flights throughout the Middle East. No word on when the the riots, pillaging and protests will being.

With apologies to Primus for ripping off the lyrics to the South Park Theme Song:

I'm goin' down to the Middle East gonna have myself a time,
Terrorists hiding everywhere, covered girls so no temptation,
I'm goin' down to the Middle East gonna leave my harem behind,
Lots of beheading day or night, people spouting, "Allah Akbar"
I'm headin' down to the Middle East gonna see if I can't unwind,
I like girls who have a mustache, I like girls who wear a burka
So come on down to the Middle East , and meet some friends of mine.

For some reason the promotion including a free bomb-vest wasn't a big seller.

The image is animated, be sure watch for the ending

Fiction follows truth--or was that the other way around?

The Cartoon Wars are most excellent. Trey and Matt have outdone themselves.

You....I just marvel. ;-)
