I swear this isn’t an Onion story; here is a link to prove I’m not kidding. Now….check out this quote; further proof that Stanley Kubrick was right–society has progressed to a point where the satirist has no hope of competing with reality:
“Labor and Materials” is Iraq’s answer to “Extreme Home Makeover” and the country’s first reality TV show. In 15-minute episodes, broken windows are made whole again. Blasted walls slowly rise again. Fancy furniture and luxurious carpets appear without warning in the living rooms of poor families. Over six weeks, houses blasted by US bombs regenerate in a home-improvement show for a war-torn country.
