An earlier posting about popular crap terrorists, I argued that Fromes' Richard Reid [not a great name for a terrorist] with his crap shoe bomb antics was far crapper than the underpants bomber. Well, readers, I've found a supreme crap terrorist to trump them all. Often referred to as the 'bum bomber' a man packed his anus with gelignite and detonated himself close to the Saudi prince. No one was hurt other than this legend of crap terrorism the bum bomber who died in an explosion of shit and blood.
Leads skreeworld on to Chris Morris' directorial debut 'Four Lions' . He runs the risk of Fatwah through joking about Jihad. Just the other week one of the Danish cartoonists was nearly murdered along with his grandaughter by a mad axeman in the fortress he has been forced to live in. Some terrorists just don't have a sense of humour.
The film was shown at the Sundance festival. Banksys new film and Howl, about Allan Ginsbergs seminal poem. The four Jihadis' of Morris' film explode themselves during the London marathon in graphic detail. All Morris' work is hugely well researched, never ironic even puritanical. He is a genius working in the field of comedy asking questions few dare to. This nations greatest commedian who knows that the object of comedy is not primarily to make you laugh.
