Poughkeepsie, NY - Filmaker Michael Moore has recently filed a lawsuit claiming copyright infringement against Al-Qaeda CEO Osama Bin Laden.

"This recent video released by the Al Qaeda organization is a blatant rip-off of my film Fahrenheit 9/11," said Moore during a Northeastern Pork & Beef B-B-Q festival in New York. "I have worked hard for years developing my own personal style of anti-Americanism. To plagiarize my film as a thinly veiled threat against America is unconscionable. And by that I mean the plagiarizing is unconscionable, not the threat."

Moore's agent suggested that the lawsuit could be dropped if Bin Laden would agree to partially credit Moore with the destruction of the World Trade Center towers on September 11th, 2001. "No one hates America more than Mikey," reported Moore's agent. "If Osama would concede us the idea of Moore's involvement in the attacks on 9-11, we could cement his image as a true traitor to his country. We've had limited success with distributing his films to the troops in Iraq and this would be a great boon to his image."

Moore placed 1st in two of the three pork eating contests at the festival.

Apparently my satire isn't too far from the truth. Disgusting blob of a human...
