Newsweek Reports Star Wars Episode III Script Flushed Down Toilet - Widespread Riots Ensue
Posted by Harvey at 08:07 AM | View blog reactions | Comments (31)

According to perfectly reliable news magazine Newsweek's anonymous source, pathetic basement-dwelling geeks around the world are pouring into the streets to protest the deliberate flushing of a Star Wars Episode III script.

One geeky loser was quoted as saying "To desecrate one copy of the Sacred Script is to desecrate the entire Star Wars mythos! They will pay with blood"

Other nerds expressed their outrage by rioting at a nearby Star Trek convention, shouting such slogans as "Star Wars is the one true Space Saga!", "There is no Star but Star Wars!", "Death to Federation Infidels", and "Jedi Akbar!" while pummeling helpless Trekkies with plastic light sabers.

George Lucas, speaking from his Millenium-Falcon-shaped mansion in Beverly Hills, declared his outrage over the incident. "My wrath will descend as flame from the Heavens to smite the unbelievers! They will be made to suffer the tortures of insipid CGI characters! I will bring forth Episodes VII, VIII, and IX to roast their stomachs in Hell! "Jar-Jar Returns"! "Bride of Jar-Jar"! "Son of Jar-Jar"! There will be a Jar-Jar Holiday Special starring Harvey Korman and Bea Arthur! Yousa will worships da Jar-Jar!"

John Welch, who was accused of doing the flushing in the Newsweek article, responded with a confused look upon hearing the news. "What I said was that Episode III was a turd of a movie and OUGHT to be flushed down the toilet. Man, those dweebs can't get ANYTHING right. No wonder they've never kissed a non-inflatable girl."

Jedihad!

Oh...gotta catch breath...too funny...

#3 - Posted by: on May 17, 2005 08:46 AM

John Welch neither confirmed or denied the incident...it must be the truth about flushing the script. Mr. Welch your jedi mind trick will not work on me. If it's in Newsweek it must be true. Infedels and storm troopers will feel the wrath of the true believers in the force.

#4 - Posted by: Phat Tony on May 17, 2005 08:58 AM

We Battlestar Galactica Geeks(tm) just don't get no respect.

#5 - Posted by: Egghead on May 17, 2005 09:47 AM

In an article in the Los Angeles Times (my wife wants the subscription, I don’t) this morning about Newsweek sort of retracting their story about flushing the Koran, the guy representing Newsweek actually used the phrase “Koran abuse.”

Isn’t it dismaying how OFTEN you have to say, “That’s the dumbest thing I ever heard”?

Last year I was trying to figure out why I was supposed to care about alleged abuse of TERRORISTS. Now I’m supposed to care about abusing paper? Now paper has civil rights?

Are we sure that most Muslims are nice, normal people? Are we sure this is a real religion?

#6 - Posted by: Eric90230 on May 17, 2005 10:03 AM

You seem to have a very intimate knowledge of how inflatable-girl kissing dweebs think.
Harvey (if that is your real name!) are you a closet nerd?

Just asking.

VIVA LA COCKAROCHA!!! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

#7 - Posted by: jimmyb on May 17, 2005 10:23 AM

You're powers are stong Harvey; but you are not a FrankJ yet...


But very funny!

#8 - Posted by: Connecticut Yankee on May 17, 2005 10:47 AM

Harvey, I am impressed. I read that headline and just assumed it was FrankJ.
I don't know of any higher compliment to a comedy writer.


#9 - Posted by: Veeshir on May 17, 2005 10:52 AM

while pummeling helpless Trekkies with plastic light sabers.
Now that's funny.

#10 - Posted by: Veeshir on May 17, 2005 10:54 AM

That's too weird, Veeshir wrote exactly what I was going to write. The only difference was I capitalized THAT'S. *theme from Twilight Zone*

#11 - Posted by: Pete on May 17, 2005 11:28 AM

Isn't it also clear that this is another one of Karl Rove's conspiracies to discredit newsWEAK?

#12 - Posted by: Jack on May 17, 2005 11:39 AM

Being a recovering SW addict and a current Neo-geek (Same interests as regular geeks but not geeky in appearance), I found this hilarious.

Two things:
1. If Jar-Jar is not killed during the Clone Wars or killed during the course of Episode III, I may start to question my own theology.

2. If Episode III sucks, there will be a riot, and nothing will save Lucas from nerd-wrath.

Actually, I'm hoping an assassination of Jar-Jar will secure Boba Fett's "calling card" of disintegrating his victims.

#13 - Posted by: Adam (VRWC Member) on May 17, 2005 11:55 AM

It's a trap!

#14 - Posted by: Admiral Ackbar on May 17, 2005 11:56 AM

Veeshir and Pete,

I once made the mistake of assuming something funny was FrankJ that turned out to be Harvey.

I was summarily chastised it Harvey's
"Pocket Guide to the Differences Between Frank and Harvey" post.

That is why I am now a cockroach. :(

Tread lightly...

#15 - Posted by: jimmyb on May 17, 2005 11:59 AM

Yes, paper can be abused and we demand that all worship the sacred meteorite!

#16 - Posted by: lorddarkwater on May 17, 2005 12:03 PM

Harvey, I am impressed. I read that headline and just assumed it was FrankJ.
I don't know of any higher compliment to a comedy writer.

DOH!!!!

I saw the story posted at the FReep and just assumed it was Frank's work.

Well done, Harvey!

Jack.


#17 - Posted by: Jack Deth on May 17, 2005 01:20 PM

Actually, I'm done trying to be Frank.

Now I'm shooting for Scrappleface ;-)

#18 - Posted by: Harvey on May 17, 2005 02:59 PM

Not even Battlestar can match Babylon 5.
But "Garibaldi Akbahr!" just doesn't havethe same ring to it...

#19 - Posted by: Miranda on May 17, 2005 03:51 PM

Meesa like it!! Meesa want Jar-Jar Cookie Jar!

#20 - Posted by: jonag on May 17, 2005 04:30 PM

That's hysterical~!

#21 - Posted by: Chaim on May 17, 2005 04:38 PM

Fortunately, once they realized how hard it was to decapitate infidels with plastic light sabers, the rioters quickly disbursed....

#22 - Posted by: Master Shake on May 17, 2005 05:20 PM

"No wonder they've never kissed a non-inflatable girl."

HAHAHA!!! That's hilarious!

#23 - Posted by: karanadon137 on May 17, 2005 06:11 PM

Only it's Marin. Lucas lives in Marin, not Beverly Hills.

#24 - Posted by: CalGrad on May 17, 2005 09:18 PM

Jedi Akbar? How could you miss the Admiral Ackbar reference?

/suddenly realizing that she is a grown woman nitpicking details with the SW universe...Aaaah, I am the very nerd they mock!

#25 - Posted by: 326-3827 on May 17, 2005 11:00 PM

326-3827 - You are quite right. The Admiral Ackbar reference IS a better line.

Ever thought about starting your own blog? Women who know who Admiral Ackbar is are VERY popular on the internet. You'd have throngs of admirers in no time.

Seriously.

Read this:

and head over to Blogger.

Drop me a line if you want some help with that - harvolson@gmail.com

#26 - Posted by: Harvey on May 18, 2005 08:12 AM

For those of you who wish Lucas were better at exploring the nature of his characters, more particularly Anakin/Darth Vader, I suggest http://darthside.blogspot.com/
Read the series and be amazed.

#27 - Posted by: sleeper on May 18, 2005 11:00 AM

Actually, I'm done trying to be Frank. Now I'm shooting for Scrappleface ;-)

Ummmm, I think Frank'll be shooting for you after that crack. And Frank uses both hollow point and FMJ ammo when he shoots.

#28 - Posted by: Veeshir on May 18, 2005 12:46 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo

#29 - Posted by: Neo on May 22, 2005 09:42 PM

You are a dipshit.

#30 - Posted by: Johnny Dingo on June 3, 2005 04:16 PM

Johnny - Don't forget that I'm also a talentless, unfunny hack who doesn't deserve the privilege of posting at IMAO
