HAHAHHAHAH, "In international news, the equivalent of 5 Americans died in Afghanistan today."

It's funny cause it's making fun of media treating foreign soldier deaths as less important than American soldier deaths.

I like that one where they make a fake news story, and they parody some aspect of a topicla subject hoping some unsuspecting reader with think it's real or you'll get bored half way though because you know it's fake and the joke wore off 3 years ago.

Oh wait....

EDIT: OK, The Boy That Found His Own ET is pretty good :)
