...over cartoon depicting Mark Zuckerberg as big-nosed octopus

The cartoon was published in the newspaper last Friday after the announcement that Facebook had purchased Whatsapp. Two versions were published, one with the caption ‘Krake Zuckerberg’, the other ‘Krake Facebook’ – Facebook Octopus and Zuckerberg Octopus. In the drawing, the 29-year-old Facebook founder is portrayed with a hooked nose, fleshy lips and curly hair, features ascribed to Jewish people in Nazi cartoons.

The cartoon has a cartoonish resemblance to Mr. Zuckerberg’s face

Eh, maybe, I don’t think that I would have gotten the joke with just an ‘f’ on his hat. Maybe put one of those ‘like thumbs’ in there somewhere.

Unless they had a picture of him next to the cartoon, I wouldn’t have known who it was supposed to be. However, when you do see his photo, the cartoon resembles him.
