"That's a joke... I say, that's a joke, son"

Ah yes, if ever we needed Foghorn Leghorn's words, it is now.

First there was the uproar over the Mohammed cartoons published in a Danish newspaper, which was followed by the International Holocaust Cartoon Competition sponsored by an Iranian newspaper.

Now the Russians have banned comedian Sacha Baron Cohen's film "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan. Because it might offend people.

But what about.....
Darfur
Global Warming
and....the fact that almost 30,000 children die EVERYDAY from preventable causes
I could go on...but that last one is hard to top.
Apparently, these things aren't nearly as offensive.

As a comedian, there can be no greater honor than to be banned by a government. It's like a Nobel Prize.

Lenny Bruce, Sam Kinison and Bill Hicks must be laughing their asses off somewhere.
