NBC News reporter Kevin Sites today declined to accept Al-Jazeera's Best News Video Award for 2004, insisting that there are many reporters who deserve the recognition, and that he just "happened to be in the right place at the right time."
Mr. Sites chalked it up to "dumb luck" that he was able to record a U.S. Marine shooting a captured terrorist in the mosque which the terrorist had used as a battle station during his fight against American forces.
"I'm no hero," Mr. Sites said. "The real heroes are the executives at NBC News who had the guts to show my video over and over, even after all the heat they took for refusing to show footage of terrorists beheading innocent American civilians. I think that speaks volumes about their character and professionalism."
An Al-Jazeera spokesman said Mr. Sites and NBC have used their art to "advance the cause of freedom in a fashion reminiscent of Michael Moore."
Oh My Gosh. You had me going there. Love ya, Scrappleface. (whew)
It's humor in a good cause.
Apparently this guy doesn't know the meaning of the word hero.
Oh wait, humor break... never mind!
Scrappleface = satire
Cheers!
He has a twisted definition of the word "hero", to say the least!!!
Alice in Wonderland was so, so ahead of it's time.
I know its fake, because he would have definitely accepted it.
Bad boy. Very Bad Boy.
When did journalistic integrity get confused with slander?
This SOB is so full of himself....Sites ....is scum.
Parody? Never mind;)
If he isn't tied up, he isn't captured.

*swallows a blood pressure pill*
Oh jeesh... its satire....
Something has GOT to be done about these Scrappleface posts!
Thanks for the blood pressure spike and adrenalin surge. I was feeling listless this afternoon.... }8^D
It isn't necessarily satire - it could just be premature.
