I read the headline as Australia was arming their journalists and I was confused by the escalation.

That would actual be pretty funny to start with. Rubber bullet stand offs between journos and the American brown shirts. You know, before USA starts “accidentally” hitting journos with $3.5 million dollar missiles a la Israel style.

Then Kelloggs releases a new porridge filled with red dye called “Oops! All journalists!” and taco serves it to foreign ambassadors in what would be a terrifying gesture if he didn’t spend the entire meal dancing on the table with those geriatric “I want to move but not fall over” dance moves.

Whether you like it or not, I had a lot of fun writing this absolute bullshit XD
