Chris Morris 911 satire in Observer

Any one see the feature by Armando Iannucci and Chris Morris in the observer today. "Six months that changed a year". There is a version online here but it isn't exactly the same as the print version.
I've made a scan of some of it
here if anyone is interested.

ouch!
quote: New figures reveal that the number of people who perished
in the attacks on 11 September may be as low as three.
Counsellors are on standby to help New Yorkers deal with the
trauma of being more upset than they needed to be. Pressure
mounts on Mayor Giuliani - already criticised for his insistence
that Ground Zero be kept shrouded in smoke - after the dust
cleared briefly last week to reveal that the South Tower was still
standing. Psychologists say original estimates of 6,000 were
probably much larger due to 'all kinds of shit'.

Ouch, and, for certain bits, and when no-one's looking, heheheh.

quote: Airlines report no one willing to fly. Bush insists this is a sign of defiance and commissions Hollywood to make films in which being scared to go on an aeroplane is an act of bravery. Filming immediately commences on an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie called Absolute Refusal about a businessman who cannot face boarding a plane but heroically makes a meeting in Cairo by crossing the Atlantic on a pedalo.

My favourite bit (from "What they said"):
quote:
'If you run the twin towers footage backwards, the towers stand up again - we need to ask why has the footage only ever been run forwards?'
Noam Chomsky
 
 
The Planet of Sound
