Facebook ‘Draw Mohammad Day’ a Victory for Muslims – Cartoonist Molly Norris Apologizes
Featured News | Most Popular | Pakistan News | Politics | World News
Molly Norris the Cartoonist behind the condemned Facebook “Draw Mohammad Day” have apologized to the Muslim world and have realized it to be her biggest mistake out of ignorance.


Following is what she says on her website:

I did NOT ‘declare’ May 20 to be “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day.”
I made a cartoon about the television show South Park being censored. (I wish that was what our energies were going toward — protesting revolutionmuslim.com’s threat to Comedy Central, and Comedy Central’s over reaction to it which set America on a slippery slope toward censorship!)
At any rate, my satirical poster, with a fake ‘group’ behind it (Citizens Against Citizens Against Humor) was taken seriously, hijacked and made viral.
I never started a facebook page; I never set up any place for pepole to send drawings to and I never received any drawings (I see that two European graduate students and another woman started the facebook pages).
My one-off cartoon does not work well as a long-term plan. The vitriol this ‘day’ has brought out, of people who only want to draw obscene images, is offensive to Muslims who did nothing to endanger our right to expression in the first place. Only Viacom and Revolution Muslim are to blame, so…draw them instead!
I apologize to people of Muslim faith and ask that this ‘day’ be called off.
Thank you to those who are turning this crazy thing into an opportunity for dialogue.
Oh, and screw all of you who are mad at me for not leading a ‘movement’. My cartoon was the beginning and end of what I had to say about this creepy, historic censorship. (By the way, where is Cowardly Central now? Pretty dang quiet. Guess they can dish it out but can’t take it.)

Sincerely,
Molly

P.S. The nicest email I have received have been from Muslims.
(I regret going on the Dave Ross radio show on April 25th, before my cartoon went viral; my ego took me there. It was a mistake to go there when I wasn’t clear about things. I let myself get side-swiped. Crap!)

Google Pacman Logo

Google Pacman LogoPAC-MAN is a cultural icon whose has the globe for 30 years. This official PAC-MAN 30th Anniversary site is dedicated to telling the story of PAC-MAN through his games, gear, and accomplishments.

His through the maze of infamy is far from over! Be sure to check in as the story is told that is distinctly PAC-MAN, The interactive doodle — a first for Google — is the brainchild of senior user designer Marcin Wichary, whose earliest exposure to Pac-Man came at age five while traveling across his native Poland with his father.
“As a group, we feel like we should do something to make him come back,” Namco Bandai’s US COO Makoto Iwai told Gamasutra (thanks Kotaku). “So, there’s one project that we started working on, and [Yasuhara is] part of it.”
Countdown to the 30th anniversary of the yellow eater and his ghosts friends: Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde… Wow!! Seems like yesterday that my first coin in a Pac Man arcade machine…
To the game, go to google.com/google.co.uk during the next 48 hours (a day longer than usual because – as Google explains – “it’s too cool to keep for just one day) and either press the “Insert Coin” button or just wait for a few seconds.

YouTube Banned in Pakistan ,Unblock YouTube

Youtube has been banned in Pakistan on various ISPs. We have received many confirmations on this matter however it is very early to say
The most breaking yet shocking news for all of the Pakistani Internet users is that YouTube has been banned in Pakistan. This came to me when I was about to open and watch a YouTube video on Firefox but instead it kept returning me the “server not responding” message after many failed attempts. Later it was confirmed by Junaid on his blog.
This is not the first time that something like this has happened in Pakistan. Last time Blogger.com was blocked as some of the blogs on Blogger were targeting the religious and cultural values of Muslims however this time the matter is related to politics.
I will try my best not to go into the details rather I will teach you some ways to Unblock and Access YouTube. This is not only helpful for Pakistani users but for users of all the regions where YouTube is blocked.
