Ch 4, the United Kingdom’s premier porn station until the creation of Channel 5, has apologised for a stunt described by the White House as 'not funny'. A film made by the channel depicting the shooting of trigger-happy twit George.W.Bush had prompted mass rejoicing in hundreds of cities around the world.
"Hurrah, Hurrah he's dead and no animals were harmed in the process!" some chanted.
"Our city is safe from the American Idiot!" shouted residents of Kabul, Baghdad and New Orleans whilst dancing deliriously in the streets.
However the joy was short-lived after it was revealed that the film was not really real at all. It had in fact been commissioned by practical joker Ian Wright, who was to use the film on his show to wind-up Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in what surely would have been an hilarious episode. Unfortunately the film was leaked and people took it to be gospel.
"It's fake, I'm afraid," said a TV boss at the station. "We thought the fact that there was a shooting without Dick Cheney being anywhere near the incident would have set alarm bells ringing. Sadly, some people have got carried away with it. Ian is devastated - he was really looking forward to playing a trick on the leader of Iran."
Now YouTube is being inundated with home made films of other world leaders 'being killed'. Recent uploads include grainy footage of what appears to be Gordon Brown having the crap beaten out of him on a night bus by a teenage gang of happy slappers whilst in Birmingham.
