This may or may not be a long post. If it is, I apologise.
I was at SeaWorld, Orlando the other week. While there, I went to see (as so many people do) the Shamu show.
So there I am, sitting, waiting for the big Orca to start soaking people down front, when the big TV at the front starts on some sickeningly patriotic "salute" to members of the US Army.
Now, don't get me wrong here. I feel that no matter why they went to war, those men and women deserve respect for what they do.
But not at a whale show! I mean, really!
But then it got me thinking...and suddenly, in a moment of revelation, I realised the true cause of the Iraq War!
Think about it for a moment. All those oppressed Iraqis. Millions of people who are so out of touch they fail to realise that, in all honesty, American beer isn't that good. Think of the sales!
Why do I mention beer, you may ask. Well, SeaWorld is owned by Anheuser-Busch, the makers of Budweiser.
Can you not see the diabolical genius in this plan! Mr Busch, sitting there, with his seven thousand dollar smile, his twelve thousand dollar suit, and his fifty cent morals. Imagery courtesy of Dregruk. He installed a puppet into government to ensure greater sales of his product! He even laughed in our faces, by installing a President with the same phonetic surname!
Can you not see? Can't you?!?
Thoughts? Where's the Smoking Man, anyway?
