"World's #1 Terrorist"

When Allen Jasson tried to board a Melbourne to London Qantas flight wearing a T-shirt proclaiming the truth and nothing but the truth, he was prevented from boarding the aircraft because the truth may offend fellow passengers.

Somebody wearing a T-shirt proclaiming blatant lies, would no doubt be allowed to board. What does this say about the view Qantas management has about its passengers. Bloody fools?

So what did Allen's T-shirt proclaim? “World's #1 Terrorist” above a picture of the world's Number One terrorist. What's wrong with that? Of course we may disagree about who is the world's number one terrorist. But it's not quite like disagreeing about who is the world's most beautiful woman. The latter is a matter of taste, and tastes may differ. The first is a matter of logic and mathematics.

Osama perhaps? No, he's not the most beautiful woman. He didn't even have a sex change last time we checked. We're talking about the terrorist. Does Brother Osama merit this honor? Let's see, 3,000 deaths on 9/11, plus a few other terrorist attacks, now let's be generous, won't we? 10,000? Let's give Osama a bonus! Let's add a zero on the house. Here you go, a hundred thousand for Osama bin Laden. Not that it's true, we're way off the mark here, but we're only being generous to help Osama to the coveted number one spot so his photogenic face may grace a T-shirt or two.

Sorry Mate! Really, Osama, you still have some work ahead of you. Who caused the deaths of 655,000 Iraqis, a hundred thousand Afghanis and is planning to murder a million Iranians? No, not Osama bin Laden.

Gimme that paper, will you? And the winner is ...

George Walker Bush. [Thunderous applause]

The managers of Qantas are a bunch of idiots, no doubt in part because of the number of criminals among their forefathers. Qantas should be grounded. (BBC News: Flight ban for anti-Bush T-shirt)

Please note: In no way did I associate Australians with criminals. Many Australians are wonderful people (and I am not only talking about the girls). Qantas management is a disgrace to Australia!
