Maybe humour is the best weapon after all. On Tuesday, ISIS released a video of two Japanese hostages, demanding £132 million ransom from their government to secure their release. Japan has refused to pay the ransom, leaving journalists Kenji Goto and Haruna Yukawa to an uncertain fate. But the Japanese public has responded by hitting Twitter to mock the terror group with photoshopped memes.

The hashtag #ISISクソコラグランプリ (translation: "ISIS crappy collage grand prix") has been used 75,000 times since news of the hostage situation broke. The terrorists depicted in the ISIS video have been variously depicted zooming around in space or lurking in closets like cartoon villains.
