According to SatireWire.com, "The profusion of international news available on the Internet has made it increasingly difficult for the average American to ignore the rest of the world, a trend researchers say threatens Americans' long, proud history of disregarding anything not about them." SatireWire has some other funny news parodies too, such as "Foot-and-mouth Believed to Be First Virus Unable to Spread Through Microsoft Outlook" and "Mad Cows Use Cell Phones."
