GI Joe: Captured!

In perhaps the most ridiculous of many ridiculous occurrences in Iraq, the soldier apparently captured, threatened with beheading and depicted with a rifle to his head on an Islamist website, turns out to be "Special Ops Cody," a military action figure manufactured in 2003.

Now, either these terrorists have a really twisted sense of humor, they're completely desperate or they are phenomenally stupid.

Last night's "Daily Show with Jon Stewart" did a far better job lampooning this silliness than I ever could. But some stories just lampoon themselves.
