The Saddam Hussein Reality Show
This just in! From the world of reality television comes news of:
The Saddam Hussein Reality Show
This new cutting edge reality show comes to us from the good folks over at Al Hanes-ia.
Watch as the former 'Butcher of Baghdad' adjusts to his new life as a guest of the democratically elected Iraqi government.
Listen to 'Uncle Saddam', as he endearingly likes to be called, talk of the stresses and strains of living a life of captivity.
The difficulties in writing his memoirs, the lack of internet access hindering his research. Hear him reminisce about the good old days on the world stage, when the arab world quaked at his every pronouncement. Sympathize with his difficulties in obtaining Cialis (he says it works better than Viagra!), keeping an even tan, finding a good hair stylist, keeping up on the Parisian fashion scene, the problems in getting his fan mail forwarded, getting the cable company to show up when promised.
The little idiosyncrasies and difficulties of life that we all struggle with, he struggles with too. Uncle Saddam is just like you or me.
Learn how he intends to regain his former glory. Not as ruler of Iraq (Change is Good - being his new mantra), but of a new internet based venture. Actually, he is placing his money on several web-based bets. Using the savvy negotiating skills acquired over the years of dodging U.N. inspectors, hiding WMDs, playing off the European Union against the United States, the business offers and opportunities are rolling in.
Again, just like everyone else, he is looking for his pot of internet gold.
According to the trade papers The Saddam Hussein Reality show will be available through your local cable or satellite provider.
More information is available through Saddam Hussein's official website:

I find it poor taste to take pleasure in something like this. You can be proud that he's out of power and we trampled his army, but taking pleasure in photos of him in his underwear is a cruel display of power - not that I feel bad for Saddam. Moreso, that one should be above taking pleasure in the humiliation of another.

Real men wear boxers, the Sun published this to keep the Labour vote up. Can you imagine Galloway in the same pose.
