FUN WITH CAPTIONING, CONT'D: My good friend Charlie Glassenberg pointed out to me yesterday that the leaflets currently being dropped on Iraq are also prone to misinterpretation.

Some of his examples (click on each picture to enlarge):



Your little children defecated in our pool! Thus we must destroy your country.



Why waste your time delivering giant golden eagle figures to the pit dug by our miniature aircraft? If you visit the French Amputee he'll show you a piece of lettuce shaped like your home country!



Up next on Q-100, it's Justin Timberlake's latest hit, followed by a description of the geography of your own homeland!



"Wouldn't you rather die or surrender than go home and sit on a tacky couch or listen to your pedantic son lecture at you?"



Our miniature planes will destory the tanks that came out of the giant blue egg if you don't lead your children back into the giant blue egg! Nanoo nanoo!
