Satire verboten: Pope vs German magazine

[Penguin]

Titanic magazine reacted to the censorship with a new starting image on their webpage:



The pope in exhilaration!


Meanwhile some politicians show their understanding of freedom: Thomas Goppel, a christdemocrat from Bavaria, MoP and an ex-minister, in short a guy who should know some basics of our law, said: "If it was up to me, I would revoke his writing license."
Dear Herr Goppel, neither in Germany nor in Bavaria there is something like a license to write required, even christian fundamentalists like you can put down their mental bs into writing without asking for permission. If you don't like it, move to Iran!

Seen that way, they really picked the wrong target.

Eeehm, Titanic has a long and proud history of peeing off anyone. A few buzzwords: "Schröder setzt sich durch", "Shalom Ziegen....." or the "Mohammed-lookalike-contest"

They even provide a service for muslims :



Here do our cartoonists live!
