Worst post execution joke I have heard thus far:
Q: What was Saddam's last word?
A: Shiiiite
Best post execution conspiracy theory I have heard thus far:
The hooded guy who puts the noose around Saddam's neck (the same guy who afterwards dances the jig around the limp dic-tator) is actually George Bush! The "In bed sleeping" was a cover story for the commander in chief to mete out some good old fashioned American hands on justice!
I wonder, would George W. Bush get this joke? It's probably too sunni to know.

Gig should be jig and met should be mete, yes?

Estragon: Wait.
Vladimir: Yes, but while waiting.
Estragon: What about hanging ourselves?
Vladimir: Hmm. It'd give us an erection.
Estragon: (highly excited) An erection!
Vladimir: With all that follows. Where it falls mandrakes grow. That's why they shriek when you pull them up. Did you not know that?
Estragon: Let's hang ourselves immediately!

...the death of a man is not funny...ever..... have you americans become so fucking desensitised, so ignorant, so convinced of your own moral high ground that you can take pleasure in the suffering of another human being, no matter how corrupt they might have been? Look at your own government for prime examples of moral corruption. Ashamed that you share my language.

Im in total agreement with the above post. I visit wfmu and enjoy the content greatly. To see it debased by such poor taste debases what is generally excellent content. Please stick to great art, music and humour. Celebration of torture and murder does this site no service. If i want to see that I will watch FOX news.

dear above 2 comments - the post in question by no means celebrates torture or murder - um... it does say WORST joke heard... This video is one of the most important pieces of video to ever hit the internet, and I find it fascinating that Bush claims he hasn't even watched it (which is why I wanted to blog about the conspiracy)

Upon reflection, I should say that rolling out of your hospital bed, getting your head
wedged in the plastic wastebasket and suffocating would be kind of funny....strapping on a
dynamite belt, riding a motorcycle off a cliff and blowing up before you hit the ground might...
I say might, because I'm speculating here.....actually be fun.

The fact of the matter is that Saddam is not dead. George would never let him die, despite what all you Joe Sixpacks get fed for information George and Saddam are tight. I mean really tight. They are totally in bed with each other if you get me wink wink. So let's say no more about that.

And in addition you morons you want to know who actually killed Kennedy? I mean not that we don't appreciate it. His Motions Bill was the beginning of end for western civilization man. I mean dude, the eskimoes killed Kennedy and they set Oswald up to take the fall by giving him LSD each Saturday night for weeks before the killing. They built him up, told him that Kennedy wanted to bomb the Soviets. Then they threw a few Cuban names and bang Oswald thinks he's shot Kennedy and starts blabbing to the FBI about Castro. But Castro couldn't find his ass with both hands if it was on fire.
The answers are out there. If you really want the truth about some of the great mysteries of the world than I strongly suggest you check out my homepage. It tell you all you need to know.
