Magazine Caricatures Christ during Christians’ Holy Week: Mayhem Spreads ...5:57 pm
The cover of this week’s edition of New York’s Village Voice, which hit the streets today:

- The cartoonist has disappeared into hiding after an explosion of death threats by offended believers in Jesus.
- Jerry Falwell has offered $250,000 to anyone who captures and beheads the person who drew the caricature.
- The Pope has said that while he doesn’t approve of violence, the cartoon was “a grave offence to believers” and “something must be done” to prevent anymore such offenses in the future. He suggested there should be “new laws” to make sure religious sensitivities are respected.
Well, not quite. The excuse the Voice has, by the way, for splashing their cover with this at such an especially holy time for Christians is an incredibly lightweight story about a Christian college that leases some space in the Empire State Building.
