"Mickey Hamouse"
This week's Critical Mass Award for the Most Original Way to End a Children's TV Series goes to Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV station. They have just aired the last episode of a show centered around a mickey mouse-type character named "Farfur" (known as "Mickey Hamouse" in Israel). The last episode, to provide happy inspiration for all the pre-schoolers watching the show, features Farfur being beaten to death by an Israeli agent ("terrorist Jew") for refusing to sell his land to the Israelis. Watch this video -- and be sure to catch the phone call they take from a three-year-old at the end of the episode.

I just watched this film clip again -- notice that on the back wall during the "interrogation" scene, there is a white flag with two blue bands, representing the Israeli flag, but with the Star of David removed, as if it were a swastika.
