If you don’t get it, run on over to Google Image Search and look for “terrorist training camp”.


Do you know how many of us will search google for “terrorist training camp” now? At work? We are all going to be on the FBI’s most wanted list.

ok, I did the google thing, and it didn’t help.
Perhaps if you had linked to the original version of the cartoon
your point would have been clearer.

I just did the Google _image_ search again, and to this day the first hits are terrorists in training, swinging from monkey bars. Maybe this helps:

(though that’s on normal Google, not Google Image search, it still shows the monkey bar image right away)

if you want us to guess your opinion, you’ll need to express it more directly. i googled the phrase, and the results were randomly interesting in their own way, but not obviously a commentary on your cartoon. maybe if you had linked to the original version…

ok, I looked at the original version, and i see what you changed, but not why.
is this something that was topical at the time, but now isn’t?

(genuine non-understanding, not pseude-sarcasm)

jeem Says:

ok, _now_ I understand: when one googles the phrase _without_quotes_, one gets a very different set
of results. i had used quotes round the whole phrase.
