ANDY IS AT IT AGAIN!
THE GLOBAL WAR ON TODDLERISM
By Andy Borowitz
Fresh on the heels of its reality show “Kid Nation,” in which children are sent to perform hard labor on a ranch with no adult supervision, CBS announced today that it is readying a reality show in which children will be sent to the federal detention camp at Guantanamo.
The new program, called “Kid Detention,” is expected to be ready for broadcast in time for November sweeps, with the following promotional slogan: “One detention camp. Forty kids. No lawyers.”
CBS said that filming would begin as soon as 40 children are “randomly rounded up.”
Within hours of its announcement, CBS found itself under fire from the organization Amnesty International, which warned of possible human rights violations if the children are sent to Guantanamo.
In an attempt to rebuff such criticism, CBS spokesperson Carol Foyler told reporters, “Nothing worse is going to happen to those kids than if they were on ‘Two and a Half Men.’ ”
