Showing the familiar sight of fearful men kneeling in orange jumpsuits in the desert, the latest footage of Jihadi John caused despair across the world when it appeared this week. In the latest clip, the Islamic State enforcer demanded a $200million ransom to free Japanese men Haruna Yukawa and Kenji Goto, giving them just 72 hours to live. But as the deadline approached the Japanese public responded with a show of defiance by creating dozens of darkly comic internet memes mocking the deranged ISIS killer. In the pictures, which have been widely shared online, the masked murderer is seen using his knife to carve kebab meat, taking part in a cooking show, and holding a selfie stick. The vast majority of the posts are written in Japanese, but one in English reads: 'Tomorrow will be sad but it will pass and ISIS will still be a big joke. You can't break our spirit.'

I’m sorry, but this is pathetic. No more useful or effective than Michelle Obama’s anti-Boko Haram hashtag campaign.
The Jihadists don’t give crap one about memes and pop culture.
They will view these acts of “defiance” as weakness because they are not hurt by them in the slightest.
Someone is a master PHOTOSHOPPER.
LOL...way to go Japan.
Main thing is that Japan does not give these guys a cent. Popular sentiment matters then. Not a cent.
One of the Japanese hostages is apparently a jihadi himself anyhow.
Hopefully, this awakens a bit of the old Japanese martial spirit.
Yes, I think a more martial Germany and Japan would be a good thing for the Western world.
How times change.

What else can they do?
Disagree. Moochelle stupidly put out the hastage #BringBackOurGirls as a serious attempt at activism (and racial solidarity, since she wouldn't give a crap if they had been White girls).
But these Japanese memes are resigned to the deaths, minimizing their importance, and ridiculing ISIS. I LOVE it.
I agree. The Japanese should call Bibi and offer Israel the same $200 million as a reward for sending these guys to Hell.
Did they get Japan to grovel and wring their hands?
Ridicule is powerful weapon.
Japan should send in 100 ninjas.
there you go...... secret, silent, deadly
That’s a brilliant idea.
I like the one with the ra and panties the best
In the Tweet with the meme, it actually reads, “tomorrow will be sad,
but it will pass.” I find that so weak as to be offensive. It isn’t
going to pass for those two hostages.
Ridicule only works if it is viewed as ridicule by the intended target. The Jihadis will completely ignore this.
Now, if they photoshopped an image of Mohammed superimposed on the two hostages, that would get the Jihadis really worked up.
There was a time when the Japanese military was feared, now they fight back with PhotoShop. I’m sure that ISIS is negotiating the release of the two Japanese citizens as we speak. I’m afraid MacArthur was a little to good at his job.
Good for you our Japanese friends. Now, when we hire a
US President that has the balls to go after these ISIS pigs
can we count on both your financial and physical support?
“I agree. The Japanese should call Bibi and offer Israel the same $200 million as a reward for sending these guys to Hell.”
Or place an ad in “Soldier of Fortune”.
Bullets, not memes.
Ninjas in burquas.
Now that's a concept!
