Everywhere Girl killed by Islamic Rage Boy

Photos of mass distraction

NORTH America's political columnist, Christopher Hitchens is telling the world+dog that the Everywhere Girl has been replaced by "Islamic Rage Boy".

Islamic Rage Boy is a stock photo of a Kashmiri-based rent-a-protester who seems to be protesting at everything which moves.

According to Hitchen's Slate column, IRB has been seen protesting Danish cartoons, magazine photos of a Muslim Mosque, a visit to India by President Bush, comments by the Pope, execution of a Muslim terrorist by India and Israeli military action.

In other words when big media needs a picture of a stereotyped mad mullah to satisfy the prejudices about Arab unrest, IRB is there. If he knew how the western media was using him, and the general damage he is doing his cause, he would probably not appear anywhere. Instead he would settle down and get back to his day job selling the plastic bits on the ends of shoe laces that no one knows what they are called and his night time job as a Microsoft press officer.

However, we doubt he would be as successful as our Jennifer who has managed to work for competing computer outfits. I doubt anyone would buy a Dell from this guy.

They're called "ferrules". I don't know why I know that. I just do.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
