Bizarro News From The Future

You know that favorite gag in futuristic science fiction movies - Schwartzenegger battles his roboto killer wife while a nifty projected television screen hovers in the background, the newscaster reads out bizarro future news -

"Mars shuttle pilots enter third day of strike, stranding passengers at Moonport" ... "Genetic Savings And Clone announces new cat cloning production line" ... "Former Canadian Prime Minister Kim Campbell named to official list of History's 50 Greatest Leaders".

Then the station turns back to prime time Thunderdome action, or a grey haired Oprah interviewing a wise Klingon poet....

Except that, I heard two of those three stories on the radio today.
