Americans bored with "War in Iraq"
The American population is officially bored with "War in Iraq" and fed up with it filling their TV screens.
An opinion poll by Gallup published the 27 October confirms that 57 percent would now rather the Marines were brought back home before being sent somewhere else for a new adventure.
"Basically we've reached the threshold... Americans have a very short attention span, and this episode, which is extremely costly to film has been going on far too long."
BIGfib's Lolo Laroche spoke to some American citizens in Wyoming.
Cindy Creloa who works in Burger King told her "It was really quite exciting to start with, when the heroes were going around blowing up all those bad guys, they killed 15,000 in the first few episodes, but lately the scripts gone way off, the bad guys keep winning and the whole things just lost interest...
We've switched to watching films instead. Last night we watched the first three Terminator films."
British citizens also bombarded by the US-UK production agreed.
In Birmingham Deardry Barnet told BIGfib's Stephen Wilkins "You know it's just like really boring now, every night's the same story.
The Iraqis, is that it ? Anyway the nasty ones blow up something or other and kill lots of the agents of freedom... I don't know who the director is but he needs to be shot."
Media analyst for the Pentagon Charles Sondheim agrees with the findings.
"We're not ready to wind up the series yet, but certainly it's reaching its end... The American public are bored, and a bored public’s changes channels."
"I think we could very easily see this adventure being scaled down to weekly bulletins by the end of the year. That would enable a new adventure to start in Iran, or say, Korea."
