Canwest Global, Canada's largest media company, has launched a War on Satire to punish the evil-doers who spoofed Canwest's Vancouver Sun newspaper. Brave Canwest is teetering on the verge of bankruptcy but will continue the fight to ensure that these fun-damentalist fanatics don't threaten its sacred freedom to monopolize media or mock its profound pro-Israel and neo-conservative bias. Find out more about Canwest's anti-satire SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) at http://seriouslyfreespeech.ca

Edited to add link to the Vancouver Sun parody that got Canwest's knickers in a knot:
