This is an odd story...
Newsarama.com : FATWA PLACED ON MICKEY MOUSE

Sounds like some flake crying out for attention to me.

Assuming it's true, I'd say that he really needs to lay off the Hash pipe for awhile.

What are they going to do? Put Mickey in the Dip?

 

[Chuck Mayer]

And you think that decision is not justified???

Hmmmmmm...

 

[Edwin-S]

Why? Do you?

 

[Chuck Mayer]

Absolutely. Cartoon mice are quite contributory to the current decline of values and decency in the world. They are an affront to all right-thinking people.

Are you blind, man?

 

[Edwin-S]

No, but I always thought it was cartoon cats responsible for the decline of
Western values. Fritz the Cat, anyone?

 

[Jeff Jacobson]

Another strange thing is anti-cartoon mice, but in Palestine they had a Mickey look-alike on one of their kids' shows.

It looks like Mickey is preparing to defend himself, though: Mickey Mouse Transformer.

How in the heck do you kill a fictional character???

Fictitiously.

I challenge anyone to explain to me how this isn't the funniest news story ever.
