12 Jun Charlie Hebdo’s Latest Cover Art Has People Pretty Enraged

Although the concept of laughter is pretty much universal in human existence, everyone has a different standard for what makes them laugh. I, for example, have a huge penchant for puns, but every such joke I make with the people I hold dearest is met only by groans.

Based in Paris, France, the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo are perhaps best remembered for the “Je Suis Charlie” movement, after a cover featuring the Prophet Muhammad in January 2015 led to their office being attacked by Chérif and Saïd Kouachi, killing 12 people and injuring 11 others.
