All we have to do is get Apple to trademark a new product called iSis (maybe an iPhone for siblings?) and then let them sue the group out of existence. Problem solved. You’re welcome!

Actually is somewhat close… Perhaps my Isis crush was a bit deeper than I realize. I need to get some Shazam undies.

The petition is for media outlets to stop calling them ISIS. No-one is trying to petition a terrorist group, unless you count media outlets as terrorist groups.
As a non-Muslim who has a weird last name many TSA agents assume is Muslim (nothing like giving a customs official a brief history of one’s family tree just to get on a damn plane), I can empathise.

Oh, well, the S can stand for Shitheads then.

I always thought it was ironic that a bunch of militant fundamentalist patriarchial monotheists named themselves after an Egyptian mother goddess who was chosen by the neopagan movement as one of their favourite goddesses.
The mother (goddess) of all comprehension fails?

If she married you, there is an implicit contract that she has to put up with your terrible crack. Though if she was sensible, she’d have amended the pre nup to say that there can be unlimited tutting and eye-rolling.

ALL my undies contain shazam. Also significant quantities of Woo! and Bazinga!

Isis died when her canopic jar leaked. What you need to be worried about is Osiris.

The Islamic State is neither a state nor particularly Islamic. Discuss amongst yourselves.

yeah, well, mayhaps these “demeaned” commenters can try over again. as for my “superiority” that is beside the point, and you are making a little bit too much of it.
Sure man, or I was just pointing out that the space your comments took up on my screen communicated nothing to me.
So I asked. But by all means, tell me more about me and how I feel! (you had said I was ‘sensitive’)
And excellent ninja edit there, man. Now my comment above makes less sense. Oh well. Later, have a good day!
In related news Ira Glass is tired of being blamed for car bombings.

Can you imagine the scene of offended outrage that is being written to open the next series? It will just be one string of epithets after another.
Also the porn industry is annoyed by the existence of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.

I have a visible tattoo honoring Isis and I get the usual “What is that?/What does it mean/etc” and upon answering that the last few weeks I’ve run into some mindblowingly clueless and reactionary people.

Much like our own hate groups and radicals.Every once in a while they grab some power.
It’s not their whitness that unites them, It’s their small mindedness and intolerance. That’s the thing we all have in common that we must all fight within ourselves to beat.
