I Just Shot Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria..

UP: Austria  December 3, 2009  Authorities are baffled by an apparant vandalism at the site housing the remains of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.   It appears that the corpse had been exhumed and fired upon.  A local historian confirmed that this was similar to an event approximately 95 years ago that triggered one of the bloodiest 4 years of conflict in world history.

World leaders are concerned the ramifications of the event may be misinterpreted by the various media venues to be of significance.  Facebook and Twitter sites are already materializing calling for immediate and profound punishments to the country housing those responsible for such a travesty.

Speculation of the perpetrator(s) is widespread and varied.  No known organization has claimed responsibility, though there is some evidence of posturing on an obscure message board based in the heart of the United States.

Further details will be provided as available.

    What hath thou wrought!!??!!

No, a joke that apparently went over your head

[Baumer]

New digitally enhanced evidence proves Microsoft is working on time travel, and world domination. Bill Gates want's a WW1 arena!

Cue Bob Marley...

But I did not shoot his wife Sophie..."

(Oh, and this time around, did you remember to test your suicide pill before attempting the assassination?)

I can't decide which is funnier, the joke, or the fact that someone doesn't get the joke.



Actually, I decided that someone not getting it is not funny at all, it's sad.  Do they not teach world history in school anymore?

[OOZ662]

I entirely understand the history behind it, I just don't understand why it's supposed to be funny.
