When Will Censorship Stop?
My college newspaper, The Tartan, which I wrote numerous editorials for back in the day (some of which I think are still available online), got shut down for being racially insensitive in their April Fools issue (the "Natrat"). What's it with races and being so sensitive? I haven't seen the issue in question (nor the comic), but completely shutting down the paper seems like a bit of an overreaction. At least there's one good quote from the article: "Anyone who's ever written satire knows it's not really easy." Yeah, people; appreciate me more. Posted by Frank J. at 08:44 AM

I appreciate you, Frank! Posted by: Brian on April 8, 2004 08:54 AMLook at the sentence: Joe is offended. Oh yea, you are appreciated, Frank. Posted by: LibertyBob on April 8, 2004 08:59 AMAnother thing... Here at UF, we have a "school" newspaper that is independent from the actual university. The Alligator is a piece of garbage that is so far to the left that it isn't even funny. They run editorial cartoons almost once a week that are racist or offensive to a large group of people, but the school doesn't take their distribution bins off campus. I always wondered why they never did take away their campus distribution, but I guess the liberals here would call that censorship. Posted by: Brian on April 8, 2004 09:02 AMAnybody watching Condi testify in front of the Congressional Committee on Witches and Scapegoats? They are starting to pull some stupid shit on her. Posted by: rockynoggin on April 8, 2004 09:59 AMFrank, I know this has nothing to do with the anything u wrote on that censorship shite, but can you explain how you brought Chomps back from the dead, after barney the little tike ripped his throat out? Dick Posted by: Dickhead on April 8, 2004 10:18 AMdickhead, if you remember correctly.... that IMW was on April fools day. Later dickhead! hehe. Posted by: dviant on April 8, 2004 10:22 AMWhat the Pittsburgh news media is reporting about the CMU Tartan censorship story: - April Fool's Day Edition cartoon Tony is not impressed with Frank's sarcasm in the latest reply. It's easter very soon so expect Tony to respond to redneck Frank on tuesday next week. Posted by: XTREME ONE on April 8, 2004 11:36 AMTony will probably reply to Frank's sarcasm next Tuesday. Posted by: Spanish Militant on April 8, 2004 11:37 AMFUCK FRANK JACKASS! Posted by: Carl on April 8, 2004 11:37 AMFrank's sarcasm doesn't fool Tony! Posted by: Johnny Depp on April 8, 2004 11:38 AMJackass, don't get worried if Tony doesn't reply until mid next week. He has not forgotten and will respond as angry as ever. Posted by: XTREME ONE on April 8, 2004 11:44 AMTONY WILL KICK FRANK JACKASS' ARSE FOR THE NINTH TIME NEXT WEEK. HE HAS ALREADY STARTED PREPARATIONS ON HIS NEXT EMAIL TO THE HITLER SYMPATHISER! TONY IS A GREAT MAN, A VISIONARY, A GENIUS. HE IS THE BEST MAN AND THE ONLY MAN TO LEAD OUR LEFT-OF-CENTRE DEMOCRATIC COALITION. THE 1ST OF MAY 2004 IS GOING TO BE SOME DAY, MOTHERFUCKERS! Posted by: Johnny Depp on April 8, 2004 11:49 AMWe should blow up McDonalds! Posted by: Spanish Militant on April 8, 2004 11:50 AMI agree entirely with the Spanish Militant, XTREME ONE and Mr. Depp. Posted by: Carl on April 8, 2004 11:50 AMFrank--I saw the cartoon in question, as well as the others that ran alongside it, and not only were they in extremely poor taste (blow jobs, exposed genitalia, and the like), the one causing the hubub ran as follows: Carl: I can see why. It's kinda hard to disagree with yourself. Posted by: Good-Natured Cynic on April 8, 2004 12:16 PMWhat's the deal "EXTREME ONE"? Are you, I mean, is Tony taking a break from his morally corrupt stance on terrorist violence to practice his "Christianity" by celebrating Easter? Give me a freakin' break! If he knew anything about Easter and it's true meaning he wouldn't have cheered when Spain was attacked or when US soldiers die in Iraq. But, alas, if you, err... I mean if Tony still replies to Frank J. even after reading his responses and the posts of his readers here on IMAO I guess this hypocritical stupidity is expected as well. Sorry to all the regulars for even giving this idiot a response but it really pisses me off when people take such a special time as Easter to try and solidify their actions by participating in something they apparently don’t have a clue about. Especially when the one doing so cheers on death and destruction. Cynic, i've never heard of a tough socialist?? don't they have like hamsters on their armed forces?? maybe not but i garauntee that Tony Pentin's saying something will happen before it does could get the Blimiot in trouble. do limey's drink sprite or does that neutralize em?? if it neautralizes em he can become a swiss and never do anything significant!!!! also tell limey we are a republic not a democracy Posted by: Entrepreneur on April 8, 2004 12:34 PMWait a minute. Limey celebrates Easter? I though all the anarcho-socialists didn't believe in that kind of stuff, and that "The State" was the highest power they knew. Posted by: Brian on April 8, 2004 01:13 PM--As I said earlier, it's good that the limey and his "coalition" celebrate Easter... he can hide his own Easter eggs this way... and then take turns with his other personalities finding them. Posted by: Devil Dog on April 8, 2004 04:33 PMThat's funny Devil Dog. I can just see it now. Carl: "Is it over here, is it over here?!" Xtreme one: "You're getting warmer, no wait, you're getting colder!" Johnny Depp: "I've got more than you do!!" ad infinitum.... Posted by: jonag on April 8, 2004 04:48 PMFrank, that's pretty cool that you were a student at CMU!, I'm at CMU right now, studying physics. I myself was highly disgusted with the entire Natrat issue, but I was especially pissed because our university's wonderful PC police honed in only on the racism. If that hadn't been there, I doubt they would have said a word. You should have seen the "community forum" about it afterwards. Basically it was TV crews filming a huge crowd of black people screaming at these three white editors sitting at a table. The general opinion is that the issue was really offensive, but that everyone overreacted. I mean, they're talking about expelling these poor editors just for being associated with the Tartan! A kid in my class said "People can't justify this by the free speech claim. Free speech only means that you can say what is ok to say." Fuck. CMU is getting fucked by these crazy PC people. Fortuntely, most of our geek community doesn't give a shit. Posted by: Sean on April 8, 2004 09:24 PMBy this point in the thread, my comment is practically off-topic, but I appreciate what you do and how hard you work at it, Frank. I'm still in awe at some of those mental leaps you make somewhere between the beginning of a sentence and the end. I have no idea how you make your mind go around those crazy corners. But I'm studying, and hope to one day learn the unearthly secrets of your ninja-humor technique.
