ENDANGERED SPECIES

The average life span of a domestic turkey is 26 weeks. Plastic turkeys survive for more than three times as long; one such creature has been visible in the media since December 2003. But time may have finally caught up with our favourite mythical gobbler.

1. I don’t get it.

   Why does google turn up Not Found?

   Don’t tell me “time may have finally caught up” etc.  The “Plastic Turkey”, like “Bush Lied”, will die exactly when an investment in Hell’s Space Heaters, LLC, finally pays off.  And we all know it.

2. Oh No!

   Perhaps they need to visit this new supermarket I heard about, to get their next one.

3. Wait - I found it, under Bush turkey, although I’m not sure that it is the right one…

4. Could it be for the same reason that LGF was left out of Google’s news lists while various moonbat, anti-semitic and generally undesirable groups were included?

6. Come on, saying what you said is just asking for trouble. Unless that was the intention.

7. Tim’s links are to Google news (news.google.com), not the main Google search engine (www.google.com). In other words, he is demonstrating that there is no news of fake/plastic/neocon/jooooish turkeys at the moment.

   Personally, I think Tim is being wildly optimistic here. This urban myth is immensely appealing to the intellectual establishment, and will prosper until W. has been out of office long enough for Bush Derangement Syndrome to die out. Until then, I fear, any MSM types and other Respectable Commentators(TM) who discover that it is false will prefer silence to the disruptive truth.

9. It was pointed out to me (pointed like being stabbed with a big stick) on Tim Dunlop’s world renown web blog, name escapes me at the present, that the term is now “fake turkey”.  Bush evidently presented a fake turkey.  Although it was a real turkey, it was used as decoration, and not served to the soldiers.

   This evidently proves that Bush is in actually Adolf Hitler, reincarnated as a Texan, with evil designs to subjugate innocent A-rabs, and annex the Middle East as a few more counties of Texas.

   Fake turkey = Empire

   It’s so obvious, can’t you see it???

10. wronwright…I get it.

    Turkey -> Ottoman Empire -> Imperialism, Islam, funny carpets, hookahs….

    OH MY GAWD - GEORGE W BUSH IS THE COMING CALIPH!!

11. The turkey was fake - but accurate.

    Lefties live in a world where real turkeys are fake and fake memos are accurate.

    And they call themselves the “reality-based community.”

13. DATELINE- Camp Victory, Baghdad
    November 2003.

    Morris Corporation/KBR cafeteria press line: “Are you kidding me? Brothel technicians in Turkey don’t shave, and they surely don’t fake it!”

    “Huh? Oh! Sorry Hector, Yeah I’ll take some more beans. Thanks.”

    LMSM headline elves output: “Bush served fake Turkey with all the trimmings!”

14. I thought it was common knowledge that the plastic turkey died during the Jenin massacre.

16. The plastic turkey is not going extinct, it’s just going underground. Nothing can stop the deathless decorative plucked serpent, the mighty Quetz.
