I stole this little snippet from an AP article written today. Let's see how many ridiculous things you can find in it. I've bold faced the more obvious ones.
In Pakistan, Mohammed Yousaf Qureshi announced the bounty for killing a cartoonist to about 1,000 people outside the historic Mohabat Khan mosque in the northwestern city of Peshawar.
He said the mosque and the religious school he leads would give a $25,000 reward and a car for killing the cartoonist who drew the caricatures — considered blasphemous by Muslims. He said a local jewelers' association would also give $1 million, but no representative of the association was available to confirm the offer.
"Whoever has done this despicable and shameful act, he has challenged the honor of Muslims. Whoever will kill this cursed man, he will get $1 million dollars from the association of the jewelers bazaar, one million rupees ($16,700) from Masjid Mohabat Khan and 500,000 rupees ($8,350) and a car from Jamia Ashrafia as a reward," Qureshi said.
"This is a unanimous decision of by all imams of Islam that whoever insults the prophets deserves to be killed and whoever will take this insulting man to his end, will get this prize," he said.
Qureshi did not name any cartoonist in his announcement and he did not appear aware that 12 different people had drawn the pictures.

Damn! Who needs a game show like Price is Right? I'm going to play the live home version of Islamic Faschist Jeopardy, where cash prizes and a car awaits the victor. Praise Allah!
They can keep their virgins though. Just make sure my eternal reward includes Twinkies, and I'm happy.
Hey Rube, I just wanted to give you the official update.
My team of 12 artists are currently working on a cartoon likeness of the Prophet Muhammad dressed up in a suit and slicked back hair and standing next to the 'Wheel Of Death', like a game show host from Hell. Are you man enough to post it without fear of rioting? Or do you think they'll place a giant fatwa on your head?
