The Lonely Canadian

:: Posted by Bryan @ 8/17/2006 04:36:00 AM

Among the 240 listed cartoonists who submitted entries to the Iranian Holocaust Cartoon contest is one Canadian name, Marc Pageau, a cartoonist from Quebec. Sequential hasn't been able to dig up a copy of his cartoon, but Pageau had this to say about the contest back in February, from his infrequently updated blog:

"I will respect a certain personal and professional ethics while trying not to offend anybody in this debate on the freedom of expression by the caricature. I consider ALL RELIGIONS on the same equal footing and I intend well to treat them all in the same way, i.e. by the silly things of which they go all guilty.

If there are some fundamentalist integrist ones among the readers of this blog, it doesn't matters they are Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hinduists, Raelians or others, you will always be able to sue me!
I will never thank you enough for it, because this surely will make me famous in the whole world and you also, for the demonstration of your own stupidity!

I will publish my caricatures on this blog as soon as the results of the contest will be known and as I will get the O.K. for it by the organization of the contest.

And you? Will you participate?
If yes, good luck!

LONG LIVE TO THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH!"
