European Commission Removes Comic

The Brussels Journal, a conservative blog that very much distinguished itself with excellent on-point attention to the Danish Cartoons Controversy in 2005 and 2006, notes that the European Commission, the executive branch of the European Union, will remove a comic from its web site after complaints regarding what some felt were insensitive portrayals of racial minorities. The frying-pan-to-the-face level irony here is that the comic, translated into several languages, was designed and apparently was being used as a teacher's aid in fighting racism. There were print copies at one time; these will not be re-published. This just seems so odd from so many levels my brain keeps shutting down, so I'm afraid you'll have to make up your own commentary.
