Breaking: Sept. 27, 2005 (Atlanta)
A power outage at CNN has plunged the cablenews channel’s cafeteria into anarchic rumor-pit. Reports are arriving that with electricity gone, the huddled survivors have had to rely on only bright sunlight streaming in through the windows.
“Sure it’s fine in some areas,” a frantic Judy Woodruff noted, ‘but over by the salad bar it’s kinda shadowy. Who knows what’s in there? Am I reaching for the croutons or a severed human head?”
The report continues:
Anderson Cooper tries to remain calm, but the veneer is cracking. “You can't really see into some of the corners, it's a little too dark. Now, we won't know for certain until the lights come back on, but I hear there's bodies stacked up like cordwood there.”
MSNBC's Tucker Carlson, reporting on scene, noted, “It’s like something out of Lord of the Flies. I’ve heard that roving gangs of producers are raping children and shooting at security guards.”
When questioned whether he’d seen any of this first hand or spoken with credible sources who had, he replied, “No. But it sounds accurate to me.”
Scary Times. Stay Tuned.
