It doesn't look anything like them, but I guess that is beside the point.

This is just another version of cartoon censoring. When will people learn to stop having independent thoughts?

Block it, block that, block this also, block block block block block block,

I can't wait till I get my fire wall and then I'll be the biggest and best PM ever.....

I wonder if any one of the big fella's mates have told him that blocking and censoring just adds fuel to the fires of discontent?

Interesting point, how many of his mates, staff etc have the nuts to tell him anything he doesn't want to hear and if they dare how long do they remain mates or staff members ?

Paranoia paranoia

Yes, and unfortunately those who get destroyed damage the country even more as they try to hang onto power.

Thus ensuring that the cover is shared widely in social media.

Welcome to the 21st century, Chanosaurus.

Humor is not the hallmark of a military government...timeout...for re-education and attitude adjustment are...

I have to figure out if it is possible parodying a parody...

Thin skinned politicians have been the bane of Asian politics since Adam wore nappies , now we have thin skinned Generals who cannot take the heat, western Leaders are the subject of cartoons everyday, but that's in democracy land , one wonders what their reactions would be like under enemy fire or even a student uprising ..........................................

Sounds like a pussy approach to me

Mimic? That is something of a compliment to them both, but in particular the good general, who has lost thirty years in the cartoon.

What will happen to Yahoo if the daily mail buys it? Going to have to get that gateway working overtime.
