"And now, my fellow Americans, stay tuned to The ½ Hour News Hour, right here on the Fox News Channel."
"And if you don't, we'll invade your countries, kill your leaders, and convert you to Christianity."
-Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter from the beginning of The ½ Hour News Hour
What you are about to read is an e-mail I sent to comments@foxnews.com three minutes ago. If you didn't already hear, they are premiering a news parody show called The ½ Hour News Hour right after this week's episode of Hannity's America. The basic premise of the show is detailed in my e-mail. I'm not really expecting a reply, but just in case, stay tuned for updates.

By advertising The 1/2 Hour News Hour as "a show for the rest of us" and "unfair and unbalanced"; casting Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter as president and vice; mocking Barack Obama for being popular with Democrats; and listing the Left and spokespeople for its cause as those who will be offended by the program, you have only succeeded in exposing Fox News for the member of the Republican sheepfold it is. Furthermore, the title is an obvious rip-off of "This Hour Has 22 Minutes," pretending to lift the White House smoking ban suggests that you condone smoking indoors, and Ann Coulter can't act worth a damn. Expect a good deal of backlash from all sides in the near future.
Should you choose not to reply to this message, you will only prove my theory that Fox News really doesn't have any balls. Therefore, it's in your best interests to reply to this message as soon as possible.
