Odd Things Happen When You Chop Up Cities And Stack Them Sideways

Here's Berlin as you'd see it from above.

Armelle Caron Berlin from above.

Here it is again, after an autopsy. The city has been dismembered, dissected block by block, the blocks then categorized, sorted and stacked by shape. Berlin, of course, contains mainly rectangles. It also has trapezoids, triangles and, down in that last row, weirdly shaped squiggles that represent actual city spaces. So, if you are walking through Berlin, the cityscape isn't going to repeat endlessly. There will be surprises. There are some totally irregular nooks and crannies there.

This Onion joke seems to me to miss the point as I am sure that if it was against their religion to depict christ then those far right (well known for their tolerance) christian fundamentalists might have something to say on the matter!
As the film's makers anticipated and indeed I would say incited the violence, is that covered by 'freedom of speech' in the U.S.?
Maybe they were ALL on drugs when they thought this one up...
