Saddam being forced to watch 'South Park' movie!
This is great news about Saddam (auditioning for "Inherit the Wind," left):
"Former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein is being made to watch his appearance in cult cartoon South Park while he is behind bars.
The deposed leader on trial in Iraq was featured in the movie spin-off as the lover of the devil. 'South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut' featured Hussein and Satan attempting to take over the world together.
Speaking at the Edinburgh International Television Festival, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone said US Marines guarding the former dictator during his trial for genocide were making him watch the movie 'repeatedly'.
'I have it on pretty good information from the Marines on detail in Iraq that they showed him the movie last year. That's really adding insult to injury. I bet that made him really happy,' Stone said."
Stone, incidentally, voiced Saddam's character in the "South Park" movie.
We know that Parker and Stone have a knack for seeing ahead with their work, such as the timing of the "Manbearpig" episode before Al Gore's global-warming film comeback, and the song that Saddam's character sang in the "South Park" movie now sounds like Saddam's genocide defense:
Some people say that I'm a bad guy
They may be right, they may be right!
But its not as if I dont try
I just f*#k up!
Try as I might.But I can change, I can change!!!
I can learn to keep my promises, I swear it!
I'll open up my heart and I will share it!
Any minute now I will be born again!
Yes I can change, I can change!!!
I know I've been a dirty little bastard
La la la la la lalala!*hectic*
I like to kill, I like to maim, yes, I'm insane, but IT'S OK
CAUSE I CAN CHANGE!!!!!!!
*sigh*
It's not my fault that Im so evil
It's society, society.
You see, my parents were sometimes abusive
And it made a prick of me!But I can change, I can change!
I can learn to keep my promises I know it!
La la la la la lalala!!
I'll open up my heart and I will show it!
Any minute now I will be born again!
Now I'm going to sit back, relax, and wait for Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and the U.N. to claim that forcing Saddam to watch a movie where he fornicates with the devil is a violation of the Geneva Conventions... yawn...
If only the same therapy could be given to Tom Cruise.

Oh please can't you just laugh imagining the look on Saddam's face right at the moment where he witnesses his cartoon-self buggering Satan instead of making a lame swipe at Human Rights organizations (because obvious fighting for human rights is, uh wrong?!?!)
This liberal is laughing at this and at Saddam and shocked you didn't sit back, relax, and wait for Focus on the Family and other homophobes to mewl and whine that Saddam was being forced to witness "homos" doing it...

This is just too funny. I would love to be able to see him while he is watching the show. I'm sure the bleeding hearts of the world will say that it is humiliating treatment and will want to start an investigation and put those soldiers behind bars. I think they should instead be told how funny that is and be given some special privledges for thinking of it.
