Charlie Hebdo is a crappy government funded magazine from the historical home of spineless faggotry, France. Charlie is managed by a bunch of oldfags and kikes that have drawn Muhammed fellating the cock of the yt man often enough to be firebombed and attacked at least 3 times in the past 10 years.It was made more than 100 years ago and for some odd reason, is still going on even today, mostly because it receives government funding and without it would slowly start to derelict and finally meet its ineluctable fate.
But despite being kept afloat by EU cultural grants and government backhanders, Charlie Hebdo has courageously campaigned for the repeal of repressive laws that make it a criminal offence to boo -- or to parody the lyrics of -- the French national anthem, to 'desecrate' the French flag, or to circulate images of such flag desecration whether privately or publicly. (€7,500 fine and six months on Devil's Island with Steve McQueen)
This shows that the Charlie Hebdo team held no respect for sacred cows of any kind and fearlessly stood up to authority by ridiculing it at every opportunity thus demonstrating the first principle of satire, to wit that the hand that feeds you must be bitten hardest. Vive la France!
What am I saying? Of course they did no such fucking thing, the hypocritical drunken smelly French cowards, they chose to humiliate minorities instead.
Most of the time they have made fun of Christians and Muslims but very rarely of Jews because they know who is the big dick here. Holocaust denial is a criminal offence as of 1990, but an attempt in 2012 to extend the law to cover denial of the Armenian genocide was rejected as incompatible with freedom of speech. Vive la différence!
Fearless Charlie Hebdo has very bravely steered clear of Holocausts in general but has boldly dared to publish non-illegal depictions of the prophet Mohamed, knowing full well that some Muslims take great exception to such depictions even when they aren't crude insults, as these ones mostly were. The Charlie Hebdo team scoffed at warnings of imminent danger, saying: "We are proud guardians of the Freedom Of Speech!"
