Cutting both ways...

Anyone that's fairly upset at the fury being dumped on Denmark from the Muhammed comic brouhaha has to be equally tweaked to read about something like this. Calling it "hurtful to public decency and blasphemous," an Athens court upheld a ban on a comic book portraying Jesus Christ as a naked surfer high on marijuana and sentenced its author to six months in jail last month. Nice work, Greece. As much as I wouldn't care for such a depiction, jail time? It's just as bad as what's happening in the Middle East because of the Demark ordeal save for the riots, gunfire, burnings, standoffs... Ok so it's similar in nature only. Both cases do nothing to support freedoms of speeches and expression. Technorati tags: Denmark, Greece, freedom, dolmas r teh aw3s0m3 Update... sorta: I failed to reference the date on this. It's about half a year old. Jeff covered it here. I'm gonna go back to sleep now.
