Aaron Barschak, the loon who thought it was amusing to dress up as bin Laden and gatecrash a fancy dress party hosted by the Royals, has not been able to draw in the crowds at the Edinburgh arts festival this year, according to this report.
The gag is definitely on him. Here’s hoping he crawls under a rock where he came from. Sorry to be killjoy, but dressing up as terrorist is not my idea of a joke.
Aaron Barschak’s problem is not his subject matter. It’s that he’s not funny.
Laughing at terrorists is probably the most effective thing we can do about them. The clue is in the terminology: “terrorists” thrive on terror, they think their world-view is important and they demand their ideas are taken seriously. We should refuse to comply with that demand.
