Israel Eases Attacks For '24' Season Premiere

Israel Eases Attacks For '24' Season Premiere
An Israeli talk show discusses Jack Bauer's options before launching another round of attacks against Gaza.

GAZA CITY, Gaza (CAP) - For a second day in a row, the Israeli military paused for a two-hour break from its assault on Gaza to allow residents to enjoy the four-hour season premiere of 24 on Fox. It is not known whether Palestinians will receive such a respite every week for the show or if they'll have to record it on DVR and find another time to watch it.

"When we first received word of the halt in attacks on Sunday night, we believed Israel was taking a break for the Golden Globes," said a Hamas militant spokesperson. "And then it dawned on us - why the hell would anyone take a break from anything for that stupid awards show?"

The temporary cease-fire started at 3am (8pm ET) and lasted until shortly after 5am (10pm ET) on both Sunday and Monday nights, with the extra time presumably to allow residents to return to their own homes in the event that they went to a friend's house to watch the show. Reports from Gaza City say many took a nap during rocket attacks the day before so they could stay up for the premiere.

"Yes, the irony is not lost on us that Israel took a break from killing people so the survivors could watch a show about, well, killing people," said White House Press Secretary Dana Perino. "Although I suppose it gave the Palestinians a chance to realize that as bad as their situation is, at least they don't live in Sangala."

The pause in fighting also allowed the UN Relief And Works Agency to hand out humanitarian supplies during commercial breaks, including microwaving hundreds of bags of popcorn and debating the merits of more or less bringing the Tony Almeida character back to life.

According to US military officials, 24 has long been a favorite of terrorists around the world as they watch each season with great anticipation in the hope that their own group or cause will be the featured evil entity at some point. Fox executives admit to a certain level of success with the show's popularity among terrorists.

"Much like a musical act hasn't really 'made it' until they appear on Saturday Night Live, we know that 24 can make or break a terrorist faction," said the show's executive producer Brian Grazer. "Pretty soon they'll be able to apply to be the bad guys in future seasons.

"At that point, we figure the episodes will just write themselves," Grazer added.

Grazer also noted that this season's choice of a US-based terrorist cell has left many international groups claiming an unfair bias in the terrorist selection process, a point he hopes to work into the plot later in the season.

Venezuela has devalued its currency for the fifth time in nine years on word that the country is facing a shortage of talented prostitutes on the streets. Tourism officials fear a dip in the nation's hooker quality index following the death of president Hugo Chavez could permanently damage their industry. «» The State Department is planning to send Dr. Phil to North Korea to see if he can determine "what has Kim Jong-un's panties all in bunch." Critics counter that the U.S. should send Steve Wilkos so if talking doesn't work, he can simply "pound the living shit" out of Kim. «» Christians the world over are breathing a sigh of relief today after violence between Muslims and Buddhists in Indonesia left eight dead. "Naturally we don't want to see anyone get hurt," said the Christians. "But have to admit, it's nice to see the Muslims killing someone else for a change." «» Caroline Kennedy has accepted President Obama's appointment as U.S. ambassador to Japan, asking him, "Is that the place that keeps trying to blow us up?" He assured her it was not, telling CAP News, "We're definitely scraping the bottom of the Kennedy gene pool here. At least it's only Japan." «» Secretary of State John Kerry has returned from his first trip to the Middle East with promises from world leaders, t-shirts for cabinet members, and lots of memories. "I got to witness my first car bombing and cricket game riot back to back," Kerry said. "Really gets the blood pumping." «» President Obama is condemning North Korea's threat to launch a nuclear attack against the U.S., saying the government's right to attack its own citizens does not extend to other countries. "However, should you happen to bomb the Disney studios where Shake It Up is filmed, we won't complain," he added. «» Tiger Woods has accepted Sergio Garcia's apology for his racist fried chicken comment, saying, "It's okay, because I actually really like fried chicken. And I'm not really black. In fact, I'm more Asian than anything. So if you want to insult me, you should use fried rice, not fried chicken." «» Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries has caved to the backlash against his discriminatory marketing, saying he will open a new store called Abercrombie & Fatso. "I'm telling you right now, plus sizes means plus prices," he said. "But I think if anyone can make fat people cool, it's me." «» With the White House under fire from numerous directions, press secretary Jay Carney dropped his usual demeanor to tell reporters to "fucking back the fuck off" and that he was "sick of answering dumb-ass questions." He then threatened to have the IRS "personally audit every single one of you fucks." «» Parental advisory groups are up in arms over the naming of the new One Direction sports drink, simply called OD. "Other than their obvious lack of originality, it's the slogan we don't like," said Mothers Against Everything. "Have You OD'ed Today? isn't exactly the message we should be sending children." «»
