Payback for Newsweek
(A Precision Guided Humor Assignment) Bah! I got news for "journalist" Michael Isikoff & his crew: you mess with the pajamas, you're gonna feel the flannel. But I suppose there are... "consequences" that might appease the blogosphere's wrath, as I describe in the extended entry: * Parade Michael Isikoff around in his tightie-whitie underwear - a fate befitting ALL evil men. * Flush Newsweek down a toilet. * OOPS! Just got a call from People for the Ethical Treatment of Toilets. Guess we can't do that one. * Give old copies of Newsweek to the troops for target practice. Technically that's targeting journalISM, so that's ok. * If the troops do well at that, they can graduate to targeting actual journalists. * Newsweek reporters will only be allowed to use fat pencils and blunt-point scissors until they learn how to act like adults. * Just like on a rear-view mirror, Newsweek should have to give warning about their distortion: "Caution: Journalists in Newsweek are untrustworthier than they appear." * Explain to Newsweek that a Koran - which is about the size of a human head - is too big to be flushed down a toilet. * Demonstrate this by sticking Isikoff's head in a toilet and flushing repeatedly. Yay! Swirly! * New Fox TV show: "When Animals Attack Crappy Journalists" * Make the Newsweek staff actually READ the Koran so that they'll understand WHY it should be flushed. * As should ANY long, boring book, like Bill Clinton's "My Life" or Dr. Suess's "Horton Hears a Who". * Come on, admit it - you thought Horton was WAY too preachy, too. * Pack 'em onto the short bus & ship 'em off to Remedial Journalism School. * Then burn down the building while they're inside. * Strict program of negative reinforcement - neglect to verify a source and get a cattle-prod in the privates - ZAP! ZAP! * Heh. That was fun - ZZZZZAP! * Rope, stakes, anthill, honey - some assembly required. And if you don't leave a comment explaining what you want to see happen to the cast and crew of Newsweek, I guess that means the terrorists have won. 22 Responses To "Payback for Newsweek"
Outstanding ideas, Harvey. I'll spare your life for another day. #1 - Posted by: Frank J. on May 24, 2005 08:26 AMI'm not sure exactly what should happen to Newsweak but it certainly should involve napalm and high velocity bullets. Lots of each. #2 - Posted by: Peter on May 24, 2005 08:40 AMI'd spare Isikoff a lot of my wrath, though. Isikoff also was first with many of Clinton's scandals - Lewinsky, Paula Jones, and Kathleen Willey - but Newsweek and the Washington Post (his two employers at the time) decided not to run the stories. So Isikoff may be overzealous in his story gathering, but he does it in non-partisan way. Blame the editors for sitting on his Clinton stories, but running with his much weaker Koran flushing story. #3 - Posted by: Lionstone on May 24, 2005 09:18 AMI think forcing them to exclusively cover Jacque Chirac and the French political system would probably be sufficient. #5 - Posted by: tommy on May 24, 2005 10:19 AMNewsweek should be forced to change it's name to News Weak. Instead of flushing it, it should be used only to wipe the butts of the american people or used to line litter boxes. #6 - Posted by: samuraicrown on May 24, 2005 12:36 PMYay! Swirly!- Priceless! I would suggest a Newsweek bonfire, but I think all the fumes from poor quality journalism would be toxic. Have a surgeon general warning on every issue, "May be harmful to American's Health." Horse whipping sound good. 50 lashes for each person that was killed as a result of this BS. Let the familys sue. I think they should be tryied fo first degree murder, they knew what their actions would lead to. #8 - Posted by: dark_indy on May 24, 2005 02:44 PMThis is classic! Harv, I was going to call you on - * Pack 'em onto the short bus & ship 'em off to Remedial Journalism School. until I read the next line. I'm sure we have some Predator drones sitting around with nothing to do! #10 - Posted by: Leuthen on May 24, 2005 07:25 PMAnd then we'll send the bill for the missiles used to any survivors! MUAHAHAHAHAHA! #11 - Posted by: Harvey on May 24, 2005 08:00 PM* Make the Newsweek staff actually READ the Koran so that they'll understand WHY it should be flushed. LOL on that one, Harvey. You're in true form, as always. Viva... #12 - Posted by: jimmyb on May 24, 2005 10:22 PMUntrustworthier, you gotta love it. Rope, stakes, anthill, honey [...] I prefer 'rope, stakes, gopher hole, and fire.' #14 - Posted by: aelfheld on May 24, 2005 10:37 PMNewsweak press credentials should be permanently revoked. Their reporters and other staff members should not be allowed to attend any press conference or any other event sponsored by a Federal agency. Any reporter from another organization sharing information with Newsweak should also have their credentials revoked. Any Federal employee at any level that provides information on any topic to a Newsweak reporter shall be suspended without pay for a three days, for the first offense, nine days for the second offense and fired for the third offense. Newsweak should be held responsible for the deaths of those people and subpoenas issued seizing all files and computers at the corporate offices, reporter's homes and the homes of the corporate officers. (Let's see them get the next issue out without any computers.) Hmmm... much anger I sense... strong the Dark Side is with these commenters... :-) #16 - Posted by: Harvey on May 24, 2005 11:08 PMShip them off to Iraq to interview all border crossers to and from Syria. #17 - Posted by: dw on May 25, 2005 01:04 AMThe top 3 editors responsible for the decision to run that story should be given a privileged position of being the only reporters allowed to cover Condi Rice's next trip to Afghanistan, where she will give a personal speech before a large crowd. And she will tell the crowd, in whatever language they speak over there, that the USA is very sorry for desecrating the Koran, and in token of our remorse we have brought three individuals who have been discovered to have desecrated Korans to make their apologies in person. And then she should point out the Newsweek editors, who should be among the crowd getting audience reactions, and say, "There they are." #18 - Posted by: Mark on May 25, 2005 02:31 AMHow can you be so blind and hateful.Its a shame that people still live in the Dark Ages. Open your eyes and get a life. #19 - Posted by: on May 25, 2005 11:08 AM"..get a life." -cowardly liberal Pot: Hi, kettle. You're looking awfully black today! :D "Its a shame that people still live in the Dark Ages. Open your eyes.." -same bleeding heart Well, said. In case you haven't noticed: we are trying very hard to bring the Middle East into the modern world. :D #20 - Posted by: Good Ol Boy on May 25, 2005 11:24 AMDear Terrorists: How can you be so blind and hateful? It's a shame that people still live in the Dark Ages. Open your eyes and get a life. Love, Let's kill two birds with one stone. Here's the program: 1. Pay our U.N. bills on condition that we get to appoint a whole bunch of bureaucrats. 2. Appoint the entire staff of Newsweek to jobs at the U.N. where their principal responsibility is to fly around attending conferences and saying stupid things. (Newsweek collapses.) 3. Wait. (U.N. collapses.) #22 - Posted by: Michael on May 25, 2005 06:37 PMPost a comment
