Key figures from the UN, the EU and a prominent pan-Cowboy body have jointly called for calm in the wake of outrage over cartoons featuring a cow eating cowboy known as Desperate Dan.
| UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and his counterparts fell short of calling the drawings offensive, but expressed alarm at the violent worldwide reaction to them.
The publisher of the Dandy, where the cartoons were first published, said they had led to a 'global crisis' and expressed his 'amazement' at the reaction to something 'which has been in the public domain for decades'. Several people have been killed in angry protests, mostly in Texas where groups of men in lumberjack shirts and cowboy boots tried to burn down a local Wal Mart which was selling the publication. |  No one quite knows why he's desperate |
In Germany, a court threw out on technical grounds an application for an injunction against the publication despite the judge claiming that the 'cartoons are a misrepresentation, German cowboys only eat Sauarkraut'.
Beano editor Euan Kerr welcomed the move, saying of his rival 'commenting on people's eating habits and dress sense is a human right'.
 It's not just the General Lee Mr Damian would like to take for a ride | Former Dukes of Hazard star Catherine Bach who heads the influential Cowboys Out West Organisation, or COW for short, said it was a disgrace to the memory of her late TV show (although less of a disgrace than the recent movie,) and to anyone who makes their living as hired men, tending cattle and performing most of their duties on horseback.
The row, which is believed to be have been triggered by the success of the recent Hollywood movie 'Brokeback Mountain' looks set to continue, with White House officials suggesting that the worlds most famous cowboy, President George W Bush, soon to enter the fray and offer his views on the crisis. |
Protests against the Dandy continue worldwide. Posted by damian at February 10, 2006 03:37 PM
