France’s far-right appeasing Burkha ban has been writ in law for a while now, though it hasn’t been enforced and there has been some further political wrangling over just what the law means for France.
If you’ve managed to miss this part of Sarkozy‘s scheme to win the support of fools and fascists, it constitutes a full ban on covering the face in public – with the exception of people wearing motorcycle helmets and attending festivals. This is bad news for protesters, scarf-fanciers and people with excessive facial hair, but the main thrust of this attack is against muslim women who choose to wear the Niqab, Burkha or the Snood.
Now this sounds like an idiotic idea the 1st, 2nd and 99th time you hear it – but give it that magic 100th chance. You should do so because, properly enforced, it also means a ban on these fuckers;
- The minarets of Disneyland’s castle represent the greater threat to western culture
When they’re not peddling cheap plastic child-silencers with the Disney brand’s formidable pester power, sexualising children or indoctrinating them with the many questionable ethical lessons of their films and characters, Disney are just 
busy being hella’ creepy.
With this new law we can hope that Disneyland Paris will be depopulated of its grotesque denizens. These tortured chimeras are victims too though, they cannot speak(their mouths stuffed with blackened gauss) and they cannot leave the confines of their phantasmagorical realm. As Sarkozy said, “We cannot accept … prisoners behind a screen, cut off from all social life, deprived of all identity” and quite rightly so, I can only assume he was thinking of the creatures in the ghetto of Disneyland Paris, their curse is to forever shamble through unreal streets with permanent smiles stretched over their faces and their unmoving dead eyes glaring for the next child to ensnare.
Disney's advertising publicly sexualises children, Burkhas publicly desexualise women - I think the former is worse.
Disney raises the West’s children, championing the bland and the insipid, replacing parenting with a multimedia feast of bright colours and unimaginative stories of outdated morality.
Disney is a bigger threat to Western culture than any act of religious devotion and this new law would strike a mighty blow against its heart of darkness in Disneyland paris – if I had my way Cinderella would be dragged from her home and shot behind the chemical sheds, but more moderate voices prevail for now. That is why the Burkha ban should have our support, only perhaps we should rename it to recognise our real enemy – henceforth it shall be known as ‘The Magic Kingdom Final Solution’.
Ready to be shipped to Paris at a moments notice.
We must of course make an example of their leader, Mickey ‘lord of the woods’ Mouse. Construction has already begun on his means of dispatch, to be placed in Place du Carrousel where the Parisian guillotine once sat.
Officials insist the Burkha ban is not discriminatory because it would apply to everyone, not just Muslims. By that logic however I would be unsurprised, though horrified, to see the suggestion of new laws prohibiting the possession of a yarmulhah, or the wearing of a crucifix. But I can hold out hope for the outlawing of oversized mouse ears and *shudder* child-like glee.
Let's make it happen France, be cheese-eating victory monkeys. (Image: Unknown)
Not too bad at all!
Actually, given you were carved from a ball of pure rage, I think you should check out my other blog http://oyeniyicommentary.wordpress.com/2011/05/29/408/ I think you’ll like the topic! LOL
haha, nice coincidence. I had just finished reading that already when I opened this page.
You’re right it was very much of my interests, it’s a situation that shouldn’t be allowed to continue and I hope the campaign yields results.
I went to a school where religion was pushed on us, though not to such a serious extent. I don’t know how my Religious friends felt about it, but as an atheist I certainly felt excluded and a little besieged by it – neither of those things are how you should be making kids feel at school.
WOW – that IS co-incidence! Atheist here too. There are religious schools here, if that is the choice a family makes. I just cannot believe, given our government and given we have seperation of church and state, that we are even having this ridiculous debate!
It all started, so it seems, because some court determined that “may” in some legislation actually means “must”. So if I tell a child they “may” have a chocolate, does that now mean the child MUST have a chocolate? WTF???
lol, thats hilarious. I thought you’d lost it when I saw the title!¬ lol I didn’t get some of the satire untill someone else pointed it out to me – very sly and stealthy stuff.
I like that you were subtly ipmlying some of the counter arguments, not a lot of ciommenters have done that. but its very important to note because of how the ban has split liberal opinion. Some otherwise liberal people support it, arguing that the burka is a form of oppression making those who wear it victims too. Others argue that since many women in France wear it voluntarily, the Burkha ban(I mean ‘The Magic Kingdom Final Solution’ lol) violates their individual freedom. Then there’s other people who are just weirded out by the Disneyland strangeness of it all.
I have to add though, i was freaked the heck out by the Its a Small World ride in disneyworld florida – these places can be creepy, it’s all the familiar almost-real streets, people and buildings but slightly distorted and strange that makes it scary. like what Freud called the ‘uncanny’.
ah I was wondering if you were a Freud fan from your name. I went there once as a kid too, there was a funny-if-miserable disney intern there who joked that all the puppets at the Its a Small World ride were lost children who no one had claimed yet.
