Since someone beat me to the punch on Twitter, I thought I'd create a tribute blog for our fallen friend on Tumblr: Enemy Of The State (A Ductape Fatwa Memorial). I don't quite know what I'll do with it yet.
Who knows, maybe a few of you who are on Tumblr will be kind enough to follow it, or even better, offer to contribute. He was, after all, not only thought-provoking, but arguably a major force in bringing us together (and in whose absence we flew apart).

I saw an archived flame war about him. Some guy named Bootriboon or something kicked him off a msg board because Ductape wouldn't say people the US bombed were grateful. And how cool it was that US bombed them.
To anybody but Americans that would sound like something made up right?
But to Boo or whatever his name was and his USA pals it was a thing they just took for granted. In their minds of course anybody'd be grateful, that got bombed by America.
It stuck with me because people don't usually talk about it straight up like that. Some people will say it's a poilteness thing. Like calling out some Amazon tribe for believing in evil spirits.
But it's not the same. People aren't scared of the Amazon triibe. But noobody wants to piss off Americans. We just hope if we'll agree maybe they'll skip our town. Or at least our house.
