I just got my first 'Saddam was Captured' spam!
I just got a spam that starts, "Saddam was Captured, Get it first with Dish Network", along with a graphical Dish Network ad. At the bottom is an excerpt from what looks like one of the wire stories about it, along with the little 'tyrant in jail' quote from Proconsul Bremer.

???

Did they work out the merchandising concession for this beforehand?

"Dish Network, the Official Satellite Service of the Capture of Saddam...FREE DVR with sign-up!"

Is it just me, or did the universe turn into a parody of itself awhile back?
