I watched it on TV. A great parody of cable-type news shows. Someone was asking about the ticker text - they were just one sentence jokes that scrolled across the screen. A lot of them just played on stereotypes/common occurences - the joke being they weren't news because they were so common. Examples: "High school debater thinks he knows everything" "Guy convinced he could convert most lesbians " Aah, CNNNN.

Or then there’s the one where a group of Americans pick new Iraqi flags. If you laughed at that video (instead of crying), I highly suggest the DVD of the CNNNN TV show. <a href="http://www.empiredvd.com.au/buy_dvd_info.asp?iid=14148" rel="nofollow">CNNNN DVD</a> It’s kind of like an Australian Daily Show (except that it was weekly) and the “news hosts� play it straight. Just a warning though, it’s Region 4 and PAL, so you need a multi-region DVD and a TV capable of displaying PAL images. I don’t know if it’s been released outside of Australia, but it’s very funny. This is also very funny: <a href="http://www.chaser.com.au/" rel="nofollow">Chaser</a> (This also reminds me of The Ice Dream, an aussie comedy making fun of the Salt Lake Olympics.

I think I saw it as "Iran" at one point and at the end as "North Korea." Still shows stupidity.

Bistroist, Opera doesn't handle video well at all. Sometimes it will crash the application, other times do nothing. I usually use Opera but for video Firefox is the way to go.
