UK - BBC thinks war on terror is funny

Just over one month ago The BBC made a program called the Terrorism Awards.

The BBC has been urged to pull a 'sick' new comedy show which features spoof news reports of Tony Blair being assassinated and a 9/11-style video of terrorists crashing an airliner into the Houses of Parliament.

The clips for an Oscar-style 'Terrorism Awards' ceremony that forms one of the sketches in the new BBC2 series, Time Trumpet.


Now BBC staff have been caught making a video mocking the war on terror.

The BBC has come under fire for allowing its senior journalists to make a spoof video which makes fun of war in the Middle East.

The film - based on Peter Kay's (Is this the way to) Amarillo? - was made to mark the departure of a BBC news editor for rival news channel Al-Jazeera.


Rival channel? The BBC is al Jazerra's english version. Hell, The BBC even boasted they hired the editor in chief of al Jazeera - to train their journalists! Now that they're trained up to al Jazeera's standards they're headed over to their new home.

The BBC's reporting shows al Jazeera's training has paid off - for the left wing BBC.

There's a link to the video in the report but I'll try and find one on the internet.

The video was shown Mr Torkington's private leaving party last week, but has since been put on the Internet by a BBC insider angry that it was made with licence fee-payer's money.


Here's some of the words sung in the video.

The lyrics have been reworked. The song now starts: "When the day is dawning. On a muggy old Doha morning. How I long to be there. With Osama who's waiting for me there."


Be careful what you wish for.
