Je Suis Charlie Top 5 Charlie Hebdo Covers
I don’t want to talk about movies or funny things for a minute.
I promise to get back to talking about the Terrible movies coming out soon, and whatever Star Wars light saber configuration we all decide to hate for no reason, soon. But right now we must talk about, Charlie Hebdo.
What is Chalie Hebdo you are wondering.
Wikipedia:
"Charlie Hebdo (French pronunciation: [ʃaʁli ɛbdo]; French for Charlie Weekly) is a French satirical weekly newspaper, featuring cartoons, reports, polemics, and jokes. Irreverent and stridently non-conformist in tone, the publication is strongly antireligious[2] and left-wing, publishing articles on the extreme right, Catholicism, Islam, Judaism, politics, culture, etc. According to its former editor, Charb(Stéphane Charbonnier), the magazine's editorial viewpoint reflects "all components of left wing pluralism, and even abstainers".[3]"
The magazine is no stranger to violence. Due to their depictions of Allah. In November 2011 the newspaper's office was firebombed and their website hacked.
The hackers renamed the site Charia Hebdo, with the Islamic Prophet Mohammed listed as the "editor-in-chief"
Charb was quoted by AP stating that the attack might have been carried out by "stupid people who don't know what Islam is" and that they are "idiots who betray their own religion"
In September 2012, the newspaper published a series of satirical cartoons of Muhammed, some of which feature nude caricatures of him.
Today Masked men armed with rifles stormed the headquarters of the magazine Charlie Hebdo in the middle of Paris and killed 12 people. The dead included four political cartoonists, editor in chief Stéphane “Charb” Charbonnier and two police officers.
The attack appears to have been in response to the magazine’s frequent publication of cartoons mocking the Islamic prophet Muhammad. One gunman reportedly shouted, “We have avenged the prophet Muhammad, we have killed Charlie Hebdo” as he jumped into a getaway car.
Well we here at Brokeblog want to say
"You did not kill Charlie Hebdo, you stupid ignorant fucks!"
The best way we know to prove that these fuck stains didn't win is simple. By circulating what they tried so hard to kill. So now here is the brokeblog top 5 Charlie Hebdo covers:
Number 5
In 2011, the magazine published an article "guest edited by Mohammed," calling him "Charia Hebdo." On the cover, a grinning, bearded figure promised "100 lashes if you don't die of laughter."
Number 4
A 2006 cover showed the Prophet Mohammad weeping with dismay over his fundamentalist followers. Titled "Mohammad Overwhelmed by Fundamentalists," the prophet is shown covering his face and saying that "it's hard to be loved by idiots."
Number 3
In 2006, the magazine mocked France's reality-TV habit with an image of Jesus on the cross, saying "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here!"
Number 2
In 2010, during the debate over a controversial new law that banned French women from wearing full-face veils in public, Charlie Hebdo's cover depicted a frolicking naked woman who shouted "Yes to wearing the burqa ... on the inside," with a ruffle of blue fabric showing between her legs.
Number 1
After Michael Jackson died, Charlie Hebdo published a cover depicting him as a skeleton with the caption: "Michael Jackson, finally white."
The magazine that withstood so much and offended so many has finally been silenced. Today, visitors to the Charlie Hebdo website find only a single graphic. "Je suis Charlie," it reads.
