LONDON -- Amnesty International has released its most searing attack on the United States yet, with its newest report, "Treatment of Saddam Hussein in Prison: Slow Death by Junk Food."
Amnesty's Secretary General, Irene Khan, issued the report this morning, calling reports that Saddam Hussein is being given Doritos and Cheetos in prison "more proof of U.S. torture, cruelty, and inhumane and barbaric treatment of detainees throughout the world."
Khan cited the feeding of junk food to Saddam as "a desire on the part of the United States to get him addicted to high-fat and high-calorie food, in order to make him morbidly obese and give him high-cholesterol and clogged arteries, in turn in order to kill him with heart disease. Then, the Bush administration will be able to say that Saddam died of 'natural causes,' when in fact, they had orchestrated this all along. It's very, very clever and evil, reminiscent of the medical experiments Dr.Mengele used to perform on Jewish children during the Second World War."
Khan also cited Saddam's refusal to eat Froot Loops as proof that the dictator was "at least strong enough to resist some of the sick, vile treatment imposed on him by the young soldiers guarding him. Oh, that people so young could already be so twisted! It's just more of an indication of the kind of heartless, evil overlords American society creates. Imagine offering him Froot Loops! You might as well perform vivisection on him, for God's sake! Froot Loops! When there are so many wonderful, healthy cereals out there -- Cream of Wheat, Shredded Wheat, Red River Cereal, to name but three" ....

Warning, though. The above is just a PARODY news item from Iconoclast!
More likely a reaction to a diet of human livers.
;-)
Does it really matter that this is a parody when A.I. is such a colossal joke?
We are no better than Castro. Whoopsie! I meant Hitler.
Actually, all jokes aside, it bothers me that this man who directed the rape of 12 year old girls in front of their parents as political leverage, cut off the nose and ears of children, and/or starved entire villages to death is humanized in any way. I heard one news story that Saddam was giving the men advice on women. That's ridiculous behavior. Especially by the military instructed to guard him. Perhaps someone might want to send them a picture of their little sister as a reminder. Or their daughter.
Saddam's refusal to eat Froot Loops.
He's just not a sweets kind of guy.
At least they're not feeding him Cheetos. Excessive consumption of Cheetos could turn his penis orange!
I guess that depends on what he is doing while eating them!!
Feed him spam instead.
Word has it that they fed him those "WOW!" fat-free Doritos without telling him. He downed a whole bag in one sitting, and for hours he couldn't get farther than five feet from his toilet for fear he might not make it back in time.
Yes, but we haven't made him listen to Christina Aguilera (yet.)
A new classic!
I think one of the guards said Cheetos were his original favorite, but then he changed to Doritos.
I wonder if he gets to smoke cigars in his cell. If so, he has more freedom than I do (in that regard, anyway).....
I know this is parody, but it sounds as though it came right out of legitimate news reports. I wouldn't be surprised at all to hear just such rubbish from Am-Nasty Int'l.
"..... feeding the prisoner FrootLoops in a fashion reminicent of Ghengihis Khan ....."
Absolutely. That's why this is some GREAT parody, because it sounds so very close to most of the crap that gets blown in the ... ahem....'real' press.
>>Cream of Wheat, Shredded Wheat, Red River Cereal, ...<<
... Grape Nuts, Mueslix, ...
You can't parody these people.
I heard last night that they were considering it torture to make Guantanamo prisoners listen to Mariah Carey.
(OK, her voice COULD torture dogs.)
It took me a second to get that joke. My sister really DID turn orange (hands, face, etc...) from consuming too much Vitamin A.
Umm... ping to #19.
Ooops... sprry, I meant ping to #23.
I hear he smokes ciggies in his cell.
I admit a particular fondness for Doritos myself.
