zomg! So I am home sick from work today

[Yael]

and I catch Tweety's 5pm. When it reruns at 7, I switched over to Faux News for a little pick-me-up entertainment.

They opened their 7pm show with the excited report, BREAKING NEWS!!11!!1! Today, Bin Laden released a new audio tape talking about the Mohammed Cartoons in 2005

2005? What?

I only wish I were making this shit up.

There is this ET-looking guy anchoring with all shades of "series" concern underscoring the "Breaking News" by noting that "no Bin Laden released tape has ever been proven false" followed by some chick with strange eyebrows noting that the "experts" are concerned about "one line referring to motherhood".

WHO is their audience? :wtf: I mean in 2008 -- you have to be a really special kind of stupid...

3. But, but, but -- they were pictures!

I am seriously in awe at this.

2. Just checked -- they have this on their website too as 'breaking news'

I fear for this country. The economy isn't going to do us in -- abject stupid is.

4. I thought the Danish newspaper reran the cartoons very recently.

A crazy move IMO, but there you have it.

It would justify a new Bin Laden tape (not that anything really justifies him).

5. Faux Snooze, specially edited for the

malignant dumb. Pity.

Don't watch Faux Noise, you'll go blind.

7. Heya Rocky! I was looking for a pick-me-up laugh-along.

cuz' I feel really crummy this week.

I really, really didn't expect this. It is like watching a characture of a news show.
