Saddam Hussein goes to Mars in Sweet Deal
By Justine Doody
Confectionary giant Mars announced today that following the widely broadcast pictures of their product in Saddam’s last hiding place, they would be honouring their agreement to pay the former dictator $1 billion in product placement fees.
A spokesman for the company told the press:
“Christmas is an important time for us, and those pictures should give us the edge on our competitors, just as they will for George W. Bush. This deal has been in the works for a long time, and it would be bad faith to pull out just because the man is suspected of misconduct.
I’m sure the President would agree with that too.
Reporters were told that Saddam was just one of many who will be endorsing Mars products in their controversial new “Weapons of Mass Consumption” campaign:
“We’re not giving too much away, because there are a lot of competitors who might like to get their hands on our stars, but you can look out for a certain famous Saudi prince next Christmas.
In other news, Bechtel has reportedly been granted the $7 billion contract to fill in Saddam’s spider hole.
