(Space) epic parody punctuates Bin Laden story

Fin de cyc on the killing of OBL, courtesy of an hilarious and very clever sendup from "The Galactic Empire Times." Further proof of the quickening of public affairs from news milestone through orgy of commentary to internet meme. Seemingly the work of NYC web firm Visible U, this piece is a great palate cleanser for the news/infotainment gourmand. And an historical bookend to the post-9/11 "Special Report" by The Onion that snapped the commentariat back to its rhetorical senses, assuring that, despite prognostications from on high, the age of irony had not come to an end.
