The cartoonists have been having fun over that whole Richard Dawkins/Rebecca Watson imbroglio, highlighting different aspects of the accusations on either side:

Oh God(!), this is too hilarious beyond words:
Mississippi Passes Anti-Richard Dawkins Legislation Mississippi has officially made talking about Richard Dawkins, the famed atheist and biologist, to minors illegal. Bill A.C.A. 5-71-226, otherwise known as the Anti-Youth Subversion Act, passed both houses of the legislature by an overwhelming margin, and signed into law by Governor Haley Barbour. Governor Barbour praised the bill, and stated that he hoped that it would serve as an example for other states to emulate. QUOTE Today we struck a blow for religious freedom in the great state of Mississippi. For too long our children have been unprotected against the nefarious teachings of Richard Dawkins. I have personally talked to many concerned parents who said that they were horrified when their children told them that God was a delusion or that human beings are simply carbon-based robots who took orders from the D-N-A. This law puts the end of that nonsense now. Let's pray that Mississippi will be a beacon of hope for the rest of our Christian nation. Here is an excerpt from the law. QUOTE 5-71-226. Anti-Youth Subversion Act. (a) (1) It is unlawful for any person eighteen years or older to refer to Richard Dawkins, memes, selfish genes, The Greatest Show on Earth, DNA, and any other publication penned by the person in question, as well as books, periodicals, and/or other media that are based in part on Dawkins' work to a minor. (b Any adult found guilty of violating this act will be subject to thirty days (30) of incarceration as well as fine not higher than five hundred (500) dollars. Religious leaders collectively stated that the passing of 5-71-226 was a victory for traditional morality. Church bells rang out and congregations celebrated the event with old-time fervor. -------------------- "I know not how I may seem to others, but to myself I am but a small child wandering the vast shores of knowledge, every now and then finding a small pebble to content myself with." ~~ Plato

Yes I know it was satire, that is why I said it was hilarious. The reference to "old-time fervour" being linked to a picture of the Ku Klux Klan (at the LIP page) should have been the giveaway. I saw this item at the RDF page, the comments there are giveaways too.
