Only 3 Iraqis see Blair/Bush Broadcast

11th April 2003

Only 3 Iraqis saw the special broadcast from British Prime Minister Tony Blair and American President George Bush today as during the past 48 hours between them they had looted all the TVs.

“It’s a shame,” One of the looters told us, “As their message was very heart warming and would have helped ease the rest of Baghdad’s population however it seems that was never to be.”

“I’m pleased I got my collection of TVs as I could keep one tuned in to the boring war news in case something important broke out whilst I could watch ‘The Simpsons’ on another.”

The final Iraqi explained to us: “People wonder why I need over 300 Television Sets, but I also looted this entire palace and I still have less than one per room.”

Despite the low number of Iraqis to see the Blair Bush transmission it seems there were even less British people to watch the entire transmission. This was because it was transmitted on “Freeview” and as a result only 1 person managed to tune in.

“I was rather disappointed,” She told us, “After seeing the BBC adverts I was expecting Tony Blair to rip his face off and become George Bush but there was just an awkward transition. I want my money back – they didn’t even play Cold Play.”
