Thread: Cartoonist banned from Facebook for obscene Gillard pic

Interesting to see Facebook playing political advocate...

Cartoonist Larry Pickering has been banned from Facebook over a lewd drawing of the Prime Minister. Pickering, who shot to prominence as a cartoonist for several newspapers, told Facebook fans he couldn't post for three days.The source of the grief is a cartoon, still live on his blog, featuring a naked Julia Gillard talking about the carbon tax.



The picture was far too obscene and offensive to post on a family website.
In the snap, Gillard is pictured bending over and holding the hand of a much smaller Penny Wong, and telling punters: "You'll wake up on July 1st and nothing will have changed."The couple, trying to escape the towering PM, says: "Mmm... not even the f---ing temperature... come on dear."

The cartoon has been doing the rounds for some months, but in response to his ban, Pickering posted last night: "Facebook's taken me off air for 3 days. Means I can't post for a while"Complaints again from the arrogant Left here on Facebook."Some of the comments are just as offensive, but like we said, this is a family website.

there was some reporter in canberra suspended for a week for saying on air that conroy should strap a camera on his prick to look up juliars dress to see if she got any balls, it was in one of the papers today.
