Interesting that Newsweek chose to depict Obama as Shiva, the Hindu destroyer god.
I really doubt that they put any thought into the iconography there. Newsweek is not exactly an intelligent, contemplative magazine, I'm guessing that the editor wanted an image depicting Obama doing multiple things at once and the graphics monkey remembered that image and thought it would be funny. 

Also, that is an extremely ugly website and terribly written article.

I doubt they thought about the actual significance of Siva, but I do think the portrayal of Obama as a god in intention. Which is strange given he's a complete failure as a president.

Anyway, I think it's a tad bit offensive for a major paper to have on its cover.

"When Black Friday comes
I'll stand down by the door
And catch the grey men when they
Dive from the fourteenth floor
When Black Friday comes
I'll collect everything I'm owed
And before my friends find out
I'll be on the road"

People destroying property because they want a service for free. Why are capitalists the selfish ones again?

I don't know where these people get their sense of entitlement. It's sickening.

As there doesn't seem to be an end in sight, to this, we are pretty screwed.

I agree the riots are unbelievably stupid (how are they going to afford your schools if they have to repair all the stuff you wrecked?), but I would like to point out the horrible coverage in that article by The Daily Fail. Because seriously.

I would definitely agree with that.

I'll only say that most of these kids doing the smashing are probably well-to-do darlings with access to warm meals and bed at Mommy and Daddys, and beers this weekend over talk of how cool they were to smash up the city.  This is apparently what qualifies as idealism for some of our youth.

For them to be trashing their city and urinating in the streets because they don't like paying for their education only shows me how pathetic they are, as people.  There isn't even much true protest in what these kids are doing, I think it's pretty obvious that many are just using this as an opportunity to misbehave.....and I'd wager that many of them are really having fun doing this. 

So, not only do I have less sympathy for their cause because of their "protest",  but I hope those who can be identified do some time in jail, and pay restitution.  More likely, the police will be sued for abuse, such is the backward world we live in. 

I have no problem with peaceful protest or a simple walk-out of class.   But people who do this, wherever they are, make me sick.
