Mars

2 NASA CONTROLLERS

NASA1

Mars lander is sending back it's first pictures. My God what a waste land, polluted skies, all natural resources gone. And those craters, it's like they fought some terrible, but pointless war. And recently most of this damage was done 10 years ago.

Bud the rocket failed, that thing never left the US.

Then what's this horrible monster, attacking the lander, it's like some giant albino chimpanzee.

GEORGE BUSH WALKS ON WITH A TOY ROBOT.

GEORGE

Hey NASA guys, have you met George's new robot buddy.

Excellent treatment. And sooo on the money. It's so topical - it's not something that's happened in the last couple of weeks, not something that's happened recently - it's something that happened a day or so a go. AND it's on tonight's main TV news again, the story is STILL ongoing. So, terrific work Sootyj - tailor-made for Bremner I'd say.

It's an interesting format that some may think they've heard before as in:

Ooh my first time on an aeroplane, look out the window if you didn't know those were people down there, you'd swear they were ants.
- They are ants! We haven't taken off yet.

But here, Sootyj has been inspired and handles it beautifully. I'd have liked it better if it ended as a two-liner on NASA 2, as I'm not keen on the toy Robot bit, but I like it regardless.

Thanks for the effusive praise. It's one of my regular punts at the Treason Show.

I enjoyed Dubya's description as an 'albino chimp'. Like Danny, I wasn't sure about the toy robot though.

Yeh that was me trying to be nice, and humnaize the MOFO.

So my purported sitcom about George and his robot buddy ain't a winner?
