What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

This seriously could be one of the dumbest things I've ever heard...ever. Seriously...the person whose idea this was should be kicked in the shins and then fed Jihad Rings until his stomach explodes.

That's hilarious.
It's actually refreshing compared to everything else that's been going on.

That sure is one hell of a mouthful to try and get out, especially if you add the usual "Peace be upon him" at the end of that "Roses of the Prophet Muhammad". Talk about ruining your breakfast.

This is hilarious. Just like changing French Fries to freedom fries, and at one point German Shepherds to Alsatians.

I love the irony that the reason they are mad at the Danes are for mocking muhammad in print and then they go ahead and mock themselves with pastries.

I didn't realize "freedom fries" was an act of congress. Isn't it funny how fundamentalist on both sides are so similar. I guess it's not funny because now they want to kill each other. Imagin no religion. Living life in peace. In my next life I've decided I'm moving to a different planet where everyone is not an idiot even if I am alone.

After your comment Kristopher, if you moved to a planet by yourself everyone there would still be "an idiot..."

In the mood for something a little heartier? How about "Moons Over Myhammad"?

Muslim dog breeders will no longer have great Danes, now they have Great Koran. I just wanted to throw my hat into the silliness.

Ahhhh, a warm cup of "Glorious Rite of the Hajj" and a delicious "Jihad ring" with everything. Good morning Iran!

A world without religions would very well be a more peaceful place.
Not the panacea but certainly improved over this craziness.
You are misusing the freedom of expression to criticize that which is important to me!!
Therefore thou shalt be punished!!
That's not unlike being forced to 'voluntarily comply' with the IRS.
How Orwellian...

jojomonkey I feel you are missing a interesting point. Yes you can call anything you like anything you want. Names of thing evoke a certain assurance of objectivity. When a power group tries to change that objectivity it sets that group for ridicule. In a word -- a rose by anyother name smells the same.

Didn't many in the U.S. take to calling sauerkraut and other German, sausage related products silly things during WWII?
Yup, sauerkraut was called "Liberty Cabbage" during WWII.
This all too funny :-D

I'll show them! I've renamed my Persian carpet "the Star Spangled Banner" which I am now stepping on and...wait a minute...

{"commentId":33811,"authorDomain":"runemedia"}
My first reaction was that the re-naming was silly (just like Freedom Fries) and not without some humor. But my second thought was that it's a rather innocuous way of showing your discontent and blowing off some steam. It's even a way for those involved to feel as though they're imposing some sort of control (however tenuous) on the situation.
In that light, it's not just silly, it may actually be a useful social phenomenon.

True. I definately prefer a good strudel restyling to kidnapping or blowing people up.

Worst thing is that the editor in charge of the Mohamed drawings in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten... his name is Flemming Rose... when they figure that out in Iran, they are really going to freak out...
