Really disappointed in Peter Carey, etc. for boycotting PEN's Charlie Hebdo event. Some serious confusion here: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/27/nyregion/six-pen-members-decline-gala-after-award-for-charlie-hebdo.html?_r=0 …

Has any other org published jokes about murdered Muslims as much as Hebdo? Devalued their lives more?

Like if the Daily Show had a segment about how Muslims brought their murdered civilians on themselves: HAHAHAHHA
