[Actualizado 2 veces] MÁS sobre el cretino pastor quemador de Coranes: ¿no seremos nosotros los cretinos?

ACTUALIZACIÓN. Je:
At the risk of stating the obvious, this tool really is an attention whore of historic, almost Levi-Johnston-esque proportions. Pretty soon he’ll be walking up to tourists holding camcorders, a Koran in one hand and a Bic in the other, yelling, “Don’t make me do it.

My new idea for how to get him to stand down: Offer him a part in a reality show. He could run against Levi as mayor of Wasilla.
ACTUALIZACIÓN II. Oportuna y acertada reflexión del New York Times sobre el papel de los medios en esta charada: 
A renegade pastor and his tiny flock set fire to a Koran on a street corner, and made sure to capture it on film. And they were ignored.

That stunt took place in 2008, involving members of the Westboro Baptist Church from Topeka, Kan., an almost universally condemned group of fundamentalists who also protest at military funerals.

But plans for a similar stunt by another fringe pastor, Terry Jones, have garnered worldwide news media attention this summer, attention that peaked Thursday when he announced he was canceling — and later, that he had only “suspended” — what he had dubbed International Burn a Koran Day. It had been scheduled for Saturday, the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
