Sudan Teddy Bear Case Stalls Launch Of 'Tickle Me Muhammad' Toy Line
Topics: Understanding Islam"Tickle me Muhammad" toys? I can see Muslim children lining up around the world to get one.
The breaking news of this "sure to be an explosive success" line of toys comes from - where else but Scrappleface (satire, folks):
(2007-11-30) -- As a Sudanese court handed down a 15-day jail sentence for a British women convicted of allowing school children to name a teddy bear after The Prophet of Islam, Mattel Toys announced today it would delay the launch of its much-anticipated 'Tickle Me Muhammad' toy line.Related: The bear truth: Sudan is wrongThe teacher, Gillian Gibbons, 54, narrowly escaped 40 lashes, six months in prison and a fine, thanks to the mercy of the Islamic court which instead commended her to the care of the Sudanese penal system where she'll be one of 1,200 women and children incarcerated in a mosquito-infested prison built to hold about 200.
A Mattel spokesman said the Sudan teddy bear case has caused the company to "rethink the propriety of the planned pre-Christmas release of Tickle Me Muhammad," which it described as "a cuddly adorable friend, with a long plush beard and a puffy turban, who laughs uncontrollably when you touch him almost anywhere."
"We really thought it would help soften the image of Muslims," said the unnamed Mattel source, "and help to bring about the peaceful world order which they have been fighting for almost non-stop over the past 1,400 years."

Well said! Green Ink has a great cartoon of a MoTeddy, THAT would get the European Muzzies rioting too.
This would make a wonderful Ramadan gift. A New Dark Age is Dawning has a link to them for sale at the Cafe Press store.
Calling these ignorant freaks in Sudan human garbage is just too kind. Oh so peaceful, effin SICK animals...

absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
give a pig a prophet's name
glorify the godly swine
and thank him for his bacon

absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
outlaw all teddy bears
before some little kids
try to honor a prophet
.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
pay your teachers with DEATH
for visiting to help out
your ungrateful country
