I think it was Max who once said, "If you're going to try to be funny, you don't want to forget to actually, you know, be funny" or something to that effect.

Don't misunderstand; I couldn't care less about Uday and Qusay. It's not offensive, it's just unimaginative, and unfunny. Especially when you tie it to that goddamned Master Card thing that was tired about three minutes after it started.

OK, the set up was bad. But, I loved that pic. Seriously, it was pretty good.

I'd also add there's no paralell structure in the two items of clothing followed by a phone call, and 'wigger', while admittedly a mirthful concept all on it's own calls attention to itself and draws attention from the 'joke' such as it is by seeming to be a part of the set up and turning out to be unrelated.

The gag idea that W. might try to trick Sadam by seeing if he was going to the funeral has comic possabilities. It's cruel, it's stupid, and then there's the implication that W. has Sadams phone number and still can't find him.

Mayber Saddam called the President and used *67 so he couldn't use Caler ID.

See, I thought W. had initiated the call, but you're right, you have no way of knowing. Maybe it isn't really Saddam at all, and in another moment they'll say "Baba Booey" and W. will go "Baba what? Wait a minute, who... D'OH!"

The reason I did not use the clothing in the pic for the title is because... well... I have no friggin' clue. I'll go change that.

For those wondering what the original title was, it was "Jeans? $20. Wigger B-ball Jersey? $25. This picture..."
