Huge disappointment as Bush assassination revealed to be a hoax

[Robbien]

Channel 4, Britain's premier porn station until the creation of Channel 5, has apologised for a stunt described by the White House as 'not funny'. A film made by the channel depicting the shooting of trigger-happy twit George W Bush had prompted mass rejoicing in hundreds of cities around the world.

"He's dead and no pretzels were harmed in the process!" some chanted.

"Our city is safe from the American Idiot!" shouted residents of Baghdad, Kabul and New Orleans whilst dancing deliriously in the streets.

Sadly the joy was short-lived after it was revealed that the film was not really real at all.



"It's fake, I'm afraid," said a TV boss at the station. "We thought the fact that there was a shooting without Dick Cheney being anywhere near the incident would have set alarm bells ringing. Sadly, some people have got carried away with it.

Copycat incidents are now being reported with internet video site YouTube being inundated with homemade films of other world leaders 'being killed'. Recent uploads include grainy footage of what appears to be Tony Blair having the crap beaten out of him on a night bus by a teenage gang of happy slappers.

1. I think we have to all at least pretend like that didn't make us laugh

I mean, the thing we have to say is that it is just terrible that anybody would even think anything like that and it is most certainly is not funny and there is not one single person who read it that happened to be like drinking a coke or something and sprayed their screen because a person like that should be ashamed of themselves because we are a country at war and it is in very bad taste.

5. I believe the demise of bush is best left to the hands of God.

May bush receive the same mercy he showed to the children of Baghdad the first night the bombs fell.

Aside from that, I had to snicker at this post. :D

9. Happy slappers!? I'm guessing this doesn't mean what I'd

imagine that it means - 'cause to me, happy slapping isn't something you (usually) do on a bus...

[mcscajun]

13. Nothing "happy" about it. It's cruel stuff...

And it's assault, plain and simple.

19. One should be careful who you slap.

If anyone would walk up and slap me, I would put my Army training to good use.

14. Wasn't too sure about it either, but Wikipedia has the answer

Happy slapping is a fad in which an unsuspecting victim is attacked while an accomplice records the assault (commonly with a camera phone or a smartphone). The name can refer to any type of violent assault, not just slapping. Within the UK, where the term is much more used than the US, it is associated with the chav sub-culture.

Happy slapping filming attacks seem to be common in modern bullying, and not unique to happy slapping. The core defining feature of happy slapping is an effort by the attacker to make the assault seem like play , though some happy slappers have indulged in extreme violence.

Often those found performing such activities will say they were just "happy slapping", asserting that they were just kidding
