Man in the Moon Protests Obama Peace Prize

The Man in the Moon issued a statement protesting the naming of U.S. President Barack Obama as this year’s recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize on the same day as the unprovoked missile attack against his unarmed, peaceful nether-regions.
On Earth, others similarly questioned the designation, citing continuing U.S. involvement in conflicts around the globe, including a possible escalation in Afghanistan and into Iran.
There are also increasing questions as whether the technology tested in the bombing of the moon — ostensibly to find deeply buried ice in its craters — is not suspiciously similar to the Pentagon’s recently-approved Massive Penetrator Ordnance said to be “ideally suited to hit deeply buried nuclear facilities such as Natanz or Qom in Iran:”
The Man in the Moon concluded his statement by urging all Earthlings to take heed of his example: “Today me, tomorrow Iran?”

I love the picture, from the first silent movie about a trip to the moon.

NASA’s live coverage went blank just after the impacts occurred (even though their instruments were working)?
Was this an accident, or was it on purpose? Or was it an accident on purpose?

Well, the mainstream media told us it was about finding water, so we all knew one thing immediately...it wasn’t about finding water.
