Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* the protest and political statement action seems to be focused on the Sudan, where there was an at-least sizable protest and the president agitated against the cartoons generally. The severity of tone keeps me from making any jokes about the relative severity of not being allowed into that country, so please make up your own.

* one thing I've been tracking about the Danish Cartoons Controversy since its inception is how it has changed our perception of artists who work in the more out-there areas of free expression. This article is pretty typical of a piece not about the Jyllands-Posten cartoons that is informed by the discussion surrounding those cartoons.
