A Survey

think that the humor page is abso
lutely hilarious.

still pretty hilarious, how could you

of sense, are well-written and appeal

Let's face it. America, being God today
isn’t an easy task. When the Supreme
Being isn't busy trying to keep George W.
Hush from prematurely starting Armaged
don, he’s trying to keep Satan and his en
vironmentalist task force from burning
more vehicles As if his daily tasks needed
anymore complexity. Satan throws yet
another curveball into play with the popu
larity contest straight from hell, “Ameri
can Idol.”
Thought up by the suits at Fox Interac
tive, whose stock is coincidentally con
trolled by the Prince of Darkness, “Ameri
can Idol” was reportedly a last ditch effort
by Lucifer to regain his fair share on the
media market.
“Warping the public's mind today is a
much bigger task than it was back in my
day," says The Great Deceiver. “I was los
ing ratings all across the boards. I guess
my arch demon was right when he told me
Joe Millionaire just wasn’t that great of an
idea."
Satan was quick to point out that while

GOD FEARS SATAN MAY WIN MEDIA
MARKET AMERICAN IDOL’
“American Idol" seems to be an underhanded
stab at The Creator’s anti-idol command
ment, his actually intentions are purely for
evil's sake.
"I mean, don’t get me wrong, God and I
always have been on tense terms. Ifyou think
this whole Iraq standoff is tense, you haven't
seen anything. My intentions for ‘American
Idol’ were purely to depress the common
teenage crowd, so that
they'll be more easily
controlled,” said a rather
smug Satan earlier today.
God, on the other
hand, secs the situation
in a more holy light.
"He’s always tried to
outdo me, even when we
roomed together in
heaven,” commented
God. “1 made a pretty
