Yes, that's right. Some utter genious decided to post a buddy Jesus picture from Kevin Smith's Dogma (a film I love) somewhere in Bhagdad. I swear, some people are just stupid. Did they not thing it would offend, or what?

You mispelled the words Baghdad and Chihuahua in your comic strip!
Reuben looks nothing like a Chihuahua!

Yeah, my dad pointed that out. Ah well, at least I know how to spell it for next time.

Well, I'm sure that whoever put it up didn't anticipate that people would mistake a caricature of Jesus for a caricature of a Shiite holyman. Maybe he thought, like George Carlin's character, that the new look would attract more followers than the disturbing image of a crucifix.
Still unwise, naturally.

Oh I'm sure they knew it would offend. They just didn't care.
Interesting how the article calls it "Buddy Jesus" and not "Buddy Christ."

they're probably thinking that not everybody thinks of jesus as christ, as if anybody cares.

That journalist is not a true Kevin Smith fan
