TERRORISTS PAY RANSOM TO BE RID OF FOX NEWS JOURNALISTS |
|
In a real-life version of the O’Henry classic The Ransom of Red Chief, two FOX News journalists were released today by an obscure Palestinian terrorist group, which actually paid a ransom – in order to be rid of the two newsmen.
A spokesman for the terrorists explained that keeping the FOXies in custody was hurting morale, and threatened to jeopardize the organization’s entire commitment to Holy Jihad. One of their members even converted to Evangelical Christianity under duress, caused by the FOX journalists spouting the wit and wisdom of Pat Robertson.
The FOX newsmen also managed to persuade the terrorist rank and file to ditch their chant of “Death to America and Israel,” in favor of the slogans “Fear and Balanced,” and “We Distort, You Abide.”
A number of the young Jihadist interns had even changed their computer screensaver images from Khomeini to Cheney.
But perhaps the most troubling FOX influence was evident in the attempt by some holy warriors to re-name their policies prohibiting alcohol and gambling – to the “No-Sin Zone.”
Despite the release of the FOX journalists, this incident has exacerbated a bitter rift between rival terrorist groups. The leader of a competing splinter group, al-Franken Mahmoud, has even written a scathing book, entitled Lies And the Lying Jihadists Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at Right-Wing Terrorists.

1. Don, are you blogging this stuff somewhere? |

You've had some pretty good ones! This is one of 'em. If you started a blog full of Onion-esque stories like this, you might have a future in this one-horse town!

Holding the Fox guys might cause violations of the Geneva Conventions. It must have been torture for the Palestinians who had to watch them.
