Meh, some are funny, some aren't. You have to understand the French mentality and their delight in the more cerebral aspects of culture, I saw an interview with the ex-editor today and amidst crying for his friends he was imploring the right to free expression as any good Frenchman with a romantic idealism that clashes with a deep intellectual cynicism about politics would.
Whether you think they were funny or no they were some of the bravest and most principled advocates for free speech in Europe, and all the 'they had it coming' chat from folk is pretty ill informed in light of what they actually stood for. And fucking Anjem Choudary... what a nasty cunt.

And re: link to some twat's blog saying Charlie Hebdo was a racist publication by and for white men. No. Fucking. Clue. It's like comparing the Daily Show to Mein Kampf, and only fucking humorless ignorant fetidspunkdepositories would so hugely miss the point.
