Newsweek and Wendy's

Loyal reader RB sends us the following Wall Street Journal editorial (subscription required)from the CEO of Wendy's regarding the entire fake "finger in the chili" incident. The article itself is not that enlightening, but RB proposes the following idea...

Now, substitute:
"US Military" for "Wendy's"
"reporter" for "customer"
"Gitmo" for "San Jose"
"flushing a Koran down a toilet" for "putting a human finger tip in a bowl of chili"

The result:
There's nothing quite as unnerving as becoming the target of fraud. For us at [the US Military], that nightmare became reality when a [reporter] falsely accused the [US Military] on [Gitmo] of [flushing a Koran down a toilet].

You can make similar substitutions throughout the article. It works surprisingly well.

All of this does nothing to obscure the fact that I'm a complete loser for bailing out on Revenge of the Sith last night due to illness. But it's still funny.
