PEACE PRIZE COMMITTEE DISBANDS!
OSLO (SATIRENEWSERVICE) — Responding to overwhelming pressure from every civilized person on earth with any semblance of intelligence, the Nobel Peace Prize Committee today announced that it had voted to terminate its charter. Just prior to the unanimous vote, the Committee voted to rescind numerous past prizes – including the 2007 prize to itinerant comedian and performance artist Albert Gore of the United States – and award those prizes and all future prizes to the United States military.
“This about face by the Nobel Peace Committee,” stated former Committee Chairman and former leader of the Norwegian Labor Party, Trygve Andreesen, “came after hundreds of millions of civilized people sent e-mails, letters, telegrams, text messages, voicemails and carrier pigeon messages demanding that we stop giving awards to Islamic martyrdom supporters like Jimmy Carter, frauds like Rigoberto Menchu and corrupt mass-murderers like Yassir Arafat.”
