John,
Aren't you worried about death threats for doing a cartoonish drawing of Jesus? Aren't you afraid of rioting on the streets?
Oh wait, never mind...I'm thinking of the "peaceful" religion and drawings of their prophet.

Hey Craniac
You bring up a sharp difference in American (not necessarily Christian) and Islamic cultures.
Neat.

John, how do you get that 'spray can' effect? Air brush? OR a real can of spray paint?

HEY G
Ah, the magic of Photoshop. I took one of my drawings and manipulated the trransparency to create a feathery look. Then I applied that to a cement wall photo and played with it some more. The lettering is done in a transparent way, too. Of course, I added the drips.

I think it would be fair to contrast Christian & Islamic cultures regarding how graven images are dealt with.
Andres Serrano won a freaking award for his degenerate blasphemy (by the taxpayer-funded NEA, no less), & some schmuck in London paid 6 figures for his most infamous "piece" (O.S.).
Christ & the Christian God are often portrayed in a horrible light in any number of irreverent "media."
Any death threats? Nope. 139 killed in riots? Nope.

There WERE death threats, but he's still around.

Well, mainstream Christianity may not be as feral as Islam at the moment, but that could quickly change.
For example, Ireland has laws that forbid utterings of "religious blasphemy". What will the next step be?

Please enlighten us. Exactly how feral IS mainstream Christianity?
Does Ireland impose the death penalty for blasphemy?
Isn't that law under scrutiny now?

Hi, I just wanted to let you all know that there is a project being conducted at Harvard trying to compile the most effective arguments for and against Wikileaks. I think it's a brilliant idea and would be an interesting read for many of you. http://www.voteonwikileaks.com

But the wise woman of average means the time closer to the Discount Replica Handbags. These imitations, as they are sometimes called, can be big business. Besides, how many people really understand the difference between a real designer handbag and a replica handbag?

Not everyone could afford to buy a handbag. In fact, few people can afford to buy Replica Handbags Online. Imagine the price of a sack mark. It is probably more of a salary in the month. But people want designer handbags. These bags are sold for thousands of dollars and the economy have, in fact, is not a priority of a person.

I'll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
