First Annual Everybody Draw Mohammad Day

ia Dan Savage's blog at The Stranger, some clever chappie (I don't know who) has declared May 20, 2010 "Everybody Draw Mohammad Day," in support of Matt Stone and Trey Parker and in opposition to religious thuggery. Why May 20? I haven't a clue, though it could have something to do with Otto ascending the throne of Greece. Or, more likely, King Sancho IV of Castile's founding of the Study of General Schools of Alcalá.

I will be employing my tremendous skill as an illustrator, of course, and expect that my colleagues will do the same. If they refuse, they will be declared weak-kneed, namby-pamby, quisling infidels and will be shamed on this blog (Though such idle threats rarely work these days; perhaps I could threaten them with a painful death, which seems to do the trick). If readers would like to show their solidarity, please email your Mohammad masterpieces to me here: mmoynihan at reason.com. The best ones will be published on Hit & Run, which, along with the concomitant death threat, is reward enough.

Within a few days after the previous posts,
E.D.M.D. is a movement, in action. The date no longer is meaningful.

There was and is no planning body. Nor is coordination needed; browse the Web and see the great amount of activity.

The most useful way for anybody to further the movement is to provide a site for the submission of the creative items (drawings, photos, videos), and to widely publicize the site’s availability.

The second most useful way is to create something and to post it now in places that are available now.

The third most useful way is to commumicate the information that I have stated here.

RE: MOLLY NORRIS AND’EVERYBODY DRAW MOHAMMED DAY’

hEY! I Know: let’s have “Scream Stupid After Watching an Episode of South Park (and Dan Savage) Day!”...AND JON STEWART, EMMY FOR
“Stating the Obvious”

The point of South Park, if you ask me, is male prepubescent humor in adult bodies. It’s cowardly and stupid to poke fun in such an obvious and juvenile way. At least they could be clever, like Molly Norris’ cartoon was.
