According to Moshe Bar's lecture, I guess there are a few developers who like beer even more than Linus does :) I'm surprised you find a hookah-smoking pengiun politically-incorrect, while one named "arafatux" to be politically ok... In reality, smoking is politically acceptible (albeit a smelly and non-healthy habbit) while making fun of Abu-Amar isn't, usually. Anyway, since the creators of these images are Arabs themselves, I assume they don't find these pictures offensive. I personally think they're a bit too stereotypical and maybe even offensive - but again, very nicely drawn. > P.S: do you know how the BSD demon is called in Hebrew? Qatt Hasatan. ;-) Actually, daemon should probably be a "shed", not "satan".
