Sound and fury continued...

As I continue to follow the machinations and permutations of those involved in the Cartoon Wars (as they're now rather officially being called, it seems), I am occasionally coming across articles, like this one in the German publication "signandsight, that attempt to demonstrate to Western minds the absurdity of the entire affair, by firmly putting the shoe on the other foot to evaluate its fit. And frequently finding it fitting ridiculously.

Pay attention to the analogy in that article to the movie, Life of Brian, a longtime favourite of mine. It is an choice to prove the point that this is a lot of sound and fury, ultimately signifying nothing. Don't believe me though...with this whole issue in mind, watch the trailer and see the similarities to this whole farcical affair.
