The Issue

The popular daily cartoon strip "Barry the Cosmonaut Sloth" has always been highly critical of the political system within Komarr, but in recent weeks the cartoon has depicted the main characters throwing melted cheese at unpopular politicians. Inspired by this, protestors armed with fondue sets stormed a government building, cheesing off several government officials.

The Debate

  • "It's just a bit of harmless fun!", says Konrad Bush, creator of Barry the Cosmonaut Sloth, while spraying your advisors with melted cheddar. "If the government were doing a better job people wouldn't feel the need to throw cheese at them. We should be free to express our displeasure in any way we choose. Besides, my cartoon books are selling like hot cakes, and that's got to be good for the economy, right?"

  • "This has got to stop!" insists Robin Sato, head of the censorship board. "I spent 3 hours this morning scraping wensleydale out of my hair! Arrest these lunatics! The protestors and the people responsible for this vile cartoon, throw them all into jail!"

  • "Arrrrrgh!" screams lactose-intolerant Brian Taffs, a member of the public safety board, as incoming rounds of mature gouda smash the windows and claim the suits of several nearby advisors. "As I've been saying for many years now, cheese is a dangerous weapon in the wrong hands and should be outlawed. Ban all cheese now, and enforce it!"


Note: The title of this cartoon may be corrected to Barry the Cosmonaut Sloth, depending on the results of the current poll.

You may also vote to dismiss the issue. Discussion of issues is always welcome.
