Internet Mocks ISIS By Photoshopping Terrorists As Rubber Ducks In Operation #AllahuQuackbar
Since the attacks in Paris the problem of how to tackle ISIS has rarely been out of the news cycle. But, while governments react by dropping more bombs—or deciding on whether to drop more bombs—on Syria, and hacking group Anonymous declare war on IS' online presence, a group of jokers from 4chan have taken a different approach.
In what has been called "Allahu Quackbar," a mocking distortion of the terrorists' "Allahu Akbar" religious war cry, members of 4chan have been photoshopping Islamic State soldiers and senior figures in the organization with rubber duck heads. While turning their weapons into toilet brushes.
They've even taken to photoshopping the IS flag as well. The results are pretty hilarious, and a small victory over IS' ubiquitous online propaganda.
Here's the post on 4chan that started it all.
After gaining traction on 4chan's Shit4chanSays (/s4s/) board, the idea then took off and the entire internet was using their best photoshop skills to mock IS.
Here are some of the results. They're very funny but some are very unsettling too.
