Ban the C-word

Fictitious Journalist, a new anonymous egyptian blogger that reports fake news on the middle-east, has just made his/her first breakthrough story: The Danes have found the best way to get out of the cartoon crisis. Their ingenius solution? They banned the word "cartoon" from their vocabulary. From DFN (Denmark Fibbing Network)- In a recent move to end the drama surrounding the Danish cartoons of the Muslim prophet, Denmark has decided to omit the word "cartoon" from its vocabulary. The Queen, sick of people calling for her death over the Mohamed cartoons, and of the lewd cartoon characterizations of her person since September, has decreed that "cartoon" is banished from the Danish dictionary. "I think it will do our country a world of good if we banish the C word," said the Queen in a public statement Wednesday evening, "The rest of the world should follow our suit." I agree. Read the whole thing. And don't miss out the latest scoop on the Nancy Ajram/K-Fed love affair. It all apparently started when Nancy heard K-Fed's POPOZAO and fell in love with its artistic genius. Hey, it could happen!

Dear Sandmonkey.
Now you're exceeding yourself. But you score a good point! The word "cartoon" cannot be omitted from the Danish dictionary, because there is no such word in Danish. You won't find it in any dictionary of Danish. The Danish word is "karikatur", almost the same as the English word "caricature".
How about trying som newspeak, - if you happen to know Orwell.
