After our Bonfire tragedy in 1999, the following cartoon appeared 2 days later in an Arizona newspaper:



Now, i don't need to tell y'all the uproar this caused not only in College Station but in Arizona, where thousands of emails and letters caused companies to remove advertising and even prompted the editor to offer a donation to Texas A&M (which was promptly refused )

So, that being said, yes, the artist is completely within his rights to say that, but i would never support the artist or the paper again.

The A&M Bonfire cartoon is WAY more offensive. What happened there was an accident. This girl knew what she was doing. She saw the bulldozer moving...

Had she done it in this country, she'd be nominated for a Darwin Award. Becasue she did it in the name of "peace" its "bad taste" to joke about it. *shrug* Natural selection is all I have to say about that...
