...hasn't been the best year for the Spanish royals. During the summer, a satirical magazine published a risque cartoon of the heir to the throne, Prince Felipe, and his wife Letizia. (On Tuesday, Spain's national court fined the magazine's publishers 3,000 euros for "insulting the monarchy.") The couple were already having a tough year: A few months earlier, Letizia's sister had committed suicide. This fall, groups of Catalan nationalists publicly burned photos of the king and queen, and last week, Morocco's monarch temporarily recalled his ambassador from Madrid to protest the Spanish monarch...
...elitist working in a populist form. Biko began breaking this image down, and the So album has put it to rest forever. The process has received no little help from the raucous Sledgehammer video, which shows Gabriel in novel, self-mocking form, acting like a live-action cartoon surrounded by some nicely berserk animation. "I was lying under glass with a steel pole supporting my head," Gabriel reports. "We'd work 16 hours a day, for eight days, shooting almost frame by frame. It was very painful...

The man is lurking behind a wall. “Ummm nice!” he says. “But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart,” states the Biblical...
...More surprising than these eruptions of republican sentiment, however, has been the ferocity with which the Spanish government has sought to suppress them. Within hours after the Jueves cartoon was published, the national court had banned the edition, ordered every copy removed from newsstands, and shut down the magazine's website. The two cartoonists responsible for the drawing are currently standing trial, and will face fines of nearly $5,000 each if found guilty. Jaume Roura and Enric Stern, the two young Catalans suspected of leading the photo burnings in Girona, face worse punishment. Arrested and charged with "grave injuries...
