Your Danish Cartoons Hangover Update

* the violent fall-out and legal persecution of journalists following the initial publication of the Danish Cartoons in 2005 became one of 2006's standard-bearers of awfulness in the worst year for modern media ever, says the IPI World Press Freedom Review.

* in a different sort of contextual exercise, one writer presents a list of things that sucked in '06: bird flu, Iraq, Lebanon, and the Danish Cartoons controversy.

* from SFGate.com comes this profile of Will Franken, a stand-up comedian and satirist for whom the Danish Cartoons controversy has led to a completely new, and apparently successful, comedic routine. Plus, the name of the profile's author may be the greatest name I've seen all week.
