Duh. Just saw it. I was hoping for something funnier and ruder.

If you want rude, Charlie Hebdo has plenty of that. Most of it is of a sufficiently disgusting nature that I want no part of it. Je ne suis pas Charlie.

This one makes an intelligent point.

That’s what makes it so brilliant.
It’s a mirror, not an insult. There’s nothing demeaning about it but the subject’s own stance on the issue. It doesn’t even say _who_ the character is, at all. I just portrays the threat being made, and the artist’s response amounting to “you demand I don’t, therefore I must lest silence be construed as submission.”
