The Onion on Terrorist Cell Apathy
“We remain wholly committed to the destruction of America, the Great Satan,” al-Sharif said. “But now is not a good time for us. The season finale of Lost was such a cliff- hanger that we have to at least catch the first episode of the new season. After that, though, death to the infidels.”
“Probably,” added al-Sharif, who noted that his nearly $6,000 in credit-card debt from recent purchases of a 52-inch HDTV and a backyard gas grill prevents him from buying needed materials for the attack.
Though the members of the cell said that they “live only to spill the blood of crusaders who oppress Muslims,” they cited additional reasons for the delay, including an unexpired free Netflix trial and nagging lower-back pain.
“I think I’m entitled to a little time to fully enjoy the in-dash MP3 adapter and heads-up display that Allah, in His infinite wisdom, has seen fit to provide me with,” munitions expert Mohammed Akram said of the 2006 Mercury Mariner that is intended to be used as a car bomb during the attack. “Also, I have nine months left on the lease. But after that, I am more than willing to load it with explosives and go to my glory in its all-leather interior and heated seats.”

And there is the answer. We send grills, HDTVs and 2007 Mercury Mariners to Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and the rest of the middle east. Cost us less than the war, fewer Americans would be killed and the capitalist American pigs would make more money. After they are indoctrinated, we could threaten them with the loss of satellite TV if they don’ t cooperate.
Seriously- I think this is an indication that the threat of terrorism is becoming the cry wolf. My fear is that once this power (fear mongering) dissipates, what will the government do to re-establish its control? We may get a hint next week.
