Teen News: WAR vs. MOVIE
There's one image from the statue toppling yesterday that sticks with me and keeps giving me the giggles. It's also an image that makes me wish this war was a movie, because I know how things would be different.
I'm talking about the poles that were inside the legs of Saddam's statue. They bent him over and he snapped, revealing those thin little poles, and it kinda looks like those poles were his bandy little legs, if you use your imagination. Sort of like when you look at the original Colonel Sanders icon and imagine his tie is in fact little teeny arms & legs.
Okay, that said, if this war were a movie, we would've gotten to the part where they attempt to topple the statue, and just as it snapped in two, there would've suddenly been a deep rumbling sound, everyone looking at each other in a 'what the hell?' fashion, and then, smoke and fire would start pouring from the knee-holes of the Saddam statue as it became evident the statue was in fact a powerful rocket that we just accidentally helped free from it's moorings. There would be a second or two of Saddam's evil laughter echoing through the square, just enough to let us know that he has once again escaped with his life, as the rocket flies off into the heavens.
The movie would end with a really cool 'mano y mano' rocket battle between Saddam in his statuecraft and Bush in his Washington Monument rocket.
Dude...
