The Sunday shows, every last one
of them as far as we can tell, commented on the pictures of Saddam in
his jockeys. We want to go on record that we think that
these photographs are a violation of his rights under the Geneva
Convention, that they violate cultural norms for modesty, they are
degrading and do not reflect American values and are a total breach of
military discipline. We would also like to observe:
- Woo woo, ooh baby, lookin' good.
- So now millions of MTVers have the answer to their burning question (go to #2).
- So they're men's undies and they're not on his head. This is progress?
- We have discovered the final frontier: the news story that Al-Jazeera
deemed too offensive to air in Iraq. Yes, folks, the station that
has brought hostage videos, beheadings, and dead American soldiers to
the Arab street and beyond, adjudges "Captain Underpants"
unnewsworthy and undignified.
