              puppet show should further prove the deaths of Uday and Qusay, says

              <p>The United States, furthering their attempt to convince the Iraqi 
                public of the deaths of Saddam's two most powerful and sadistic 
                sons, will display Uday and Qusay in a staged puppet show this 
                upcoming Tuesday. Jonathan Freeman, the voice of Jafar in the 
                Disney movie Aladdin has been tapped to play the voice of Uday 
                while Gilbert Gottfried will play Qusay, the crazy yet hilarious 
                sidekick, for comedy relief.</p>
              <p>The two brothers were killed in a firefight with US soldiers 
                in Mosul last Tuesday. The US decided to show the bodies to the 
                Iraqi public, in an attempt to calm fears and slow some of the 
                resistance that has been going on for the last few weeks. After 
                the bodies were first displayed last week, many Iraqis were left 
                unconvinced given the bodies' appearances. Both men were shown 
                battered and bruised, wearing long beards and looked to have gained 
                weight.</p>
              <p>On Friday, the US displayed the two bodies again, this time groomed 
                and prepped in order to more resemble the how the public remembered 
                them. But even this time, with post-mortem setting in and an obvious 
                touch-up job by the morticians, some still seem unconvinced.</p>
              <p>&quot;With rigamortis completely set in, we'll be able to bend 
                and pose the bodies at will as if they were two big GI Joe figures,&quot; 
                claimed Philip Tanner, who will be Uday's puppeteer. &quot;We 
                even have some slapstick comedy routines ready to lighten up the 
                crowd.</p>
              <p>&quot;We plan on revisiting some of Uday's greatest hits. From 
                caning and urinating on olympic athletes to brutally murdering 
                and raping women, friends and relatives. Jonathan really has his 
                voice down, too. There's no way they won't recognize him.&quot;</p>
              <p>While some of the Iraqis are calling this planned display disgusting, 
                immoral and completely disrespectful, not only to Iraqis but to 
                the Islamic faith, others seem a little more open to the idea.</p>
              <p>&quot;At first I was thinking, what hypocritical assholes. They 
                don't want Al-Jazeera airing dead US soldiers being paraded around 
                but this is okay?&quot; said Muhammad al-Hadi, a local barber. 
                &quot;But then I saw some test footage and saw that they snagged 
                Gilbert Gottfried. Freaking hilarious. I love that guy.&quot;</p>
              <p>Galeb Shariff added, &quot;I heard they even brought in Andrew 
                McCarthy from <em>Weekend at Bernie's</em> to help out. Wow, if 
                only my city had power.&quot;</p>
              <p>NBC is in talks with the government to either put the show into 
                syndication or possibly use the bodies for an upcoming Saturday 
                morning kids show.</p>
