[QUOTE=sgman91;49135472]I don't think it's distasteful or anything, but it does seem a little... weak? I could totally see the exact same cartoon being used by the Jihadis to mock French weakness along the lines of: "All they do is get drunk while we destroy them." Obviously they didn't mean it that way. It just seems pretty easy to interpret from either side as positive, especially if you don't speak French and can't read the text along with it.[/QUOTE] French joviality can't be stopped by a few terrorists. I think it's a lovely sentiment.
[QUOTE=sparky28000;49132674]I would say distasteful.[/QUOTE] After 11 of their staff members were gunned down by these people earlier this year, i think they've earned the right to be distasteful

[QUOTE=D3vils Buddy;49132755]I disagree, the Saturday afternoon and evening after the attacks people were back in the streets with friends. They were eating, drinking, and standing against what ISIS tried to do - cause terror. This cover shows that, they may have guns to terrorize but the people of France will keep partying/being happy/celebrating without letting ISIS get to them.[/QUOTE] She never sinks.
By making this, they're actively fighting terror.

Remember, he posted this on facebook in a quick doodle comment. Posting again because its damn good [QUOTE]France is an old country where lovers embrace freely. Paris is our capital. We love music, drinking, joy. For centuries, those who love death have tried to make us lose our lust for life. They never succeed. Those who love, those who love life - in the end, they're the ones who win. It's beautiful, the motto of Paris: 'She is tossed by the waves but does not sink.' Friends from the whole world, thank you for ‪#‎prayforParis‬, but we don't need more religion! Our faith goes to music! Kisses! Life! Champagne and joy! ‪#‎Parisisaboutlife‬. Terrorism is not the enemy. Terrorism is a tactic. Repeating 'We are at war' without finding the courage to name our enemies leads nowhere. Our enemies are those who love death. They have been around forever, in different guises. History is quickly forgotten, and Paris, who told them off, dies. The people who died tonight were out living, drinking, singing. They did not know they had declared war. Instead of letting ourselves become divided, remember all that is precious: our way of life. Lovers of death: if God exists, he hates you. And you have already lost, on earth as in heaven. Paris's motto curses in the face of death: 'She is tossed by the waves but does not sink[/QUOTE] This goes with what he posted
[QUOTE=sparky28000;49132674]I would say distasteful.[/QUOTE] That's the point - on top of that it's a massive insurance for them. WE're an equal opportunity offender. Tragedy is everywhere and humour must be made, even when it's on our own land.
