Many of us “Brits” tolerate that kind of garbage from the media by ignoring its exsistance,
unfortunatly, the “masses” have sway over what the media and our govenment do.
note: “masses” defined as “most vocal group”, which in this country also tends to be synonomouse with “least Intelegent group”
(sorry about my spelling, not much I can do about that without reaching for a spell-checker.)

I know satire when I see it, and there was nothing humorous about the low insults that were levelled at Bush from that article. Even if it was intended to be a joke, it is absolutely irresponsible and shameful for a newspaper as large as the Guardian to permit such content to be published at all; and joking or not — a threat of assassination against the American president will get you into serious trouble down here. Not to mention how much in bad taste it would be in the eyes of the public.

Even I am not an American, and I found it extremely offensive. I certainly hope you don’t speak for a majority of the British public, because your appreciation for this kind of garbage certainly doesn’t speak much of you.

I read this article yesterday. It is disgusting that a newspaper would allow a reporter to call for the assassination of the president. Simply irresponsible and *reprehensible*.
