She is full of crap! No way was she able to report of a direct hit by a missle, and then follow up with a damage and casulity report.

Typical of those damn Zionists.... putting some old lady and a dog right in front of a Palestinian peace gesture.

How rude.

Sooner or later, somebody had to do it.

Wm H, Of course she can do all that in one report. She*s the BBC*s professional Irony Lady. = TG

Good satire requires something to have some possibility of truth in it.

Fake but true?

Brilliant satire!
(Sorry, Wm H -- you'll do better next time)

Ooooooh! Ha, ha ha, ouch!

Hilarious! Love those glasses, I had a teacher in grade school with a pair like that!

gawd it sucks to be born a Palestinian

The CBC tried this but no one noticed the difference. In fact I hear they throw in a parody news on a regular basis. I can't tell the difference. Can you?

Very well done, I thought it was real for the first few seconds. That could also stand in for the CBC and their bull*(^* group.

I guess the glasses have safety lenses...you don't want an eye poked out due to all the finger pointing going on ;-)

Wonderful satire. Regarding the glasses, check this 1972 photo of Gloria Steinem and you'll see where the idea came from.

Theatre of the absurd used to describe an absurd situation. Priceless!
