The New York Times is reporting that The White House is stepping up its War on Terror (or maybe its War on Crime.. I’m not sure) and has gone after America’s finest news source, The Onion, for using the presidential seal in one of its radio broadcasts. The Onion does a weekly parody of The President’s radio addresses.
It’s good to know that our friends to the south take their wars on things seriously and don’t spend tax dollars on frivolous endeavors. I think I’ll declare a War on Hunger so I can go out and spend donation money on bacon. “I find this bacon guilty of war crimes! And sentence it to spend the rest of its life in my stomach!”
Oh yeah. That’s some tasty justice right there. Maybe while I’m at it, I’ll sue a steak for punitive damages.
Thanks to Dave J. for the heads up on this story.
Not to disagree with the stupidity of something like this, but I imagine that this is something along the lines of copyright law or trheats to the President. No matter how minor these things have to at least be followed up or risk setting a precendent that would endanger future legal protection for the aggrieved. I can only imagine that there will be a token investigation and the whole thing will blow over.
