I turned on the news.
Male newsreader: "It looks -- for now -- like the Iraqui missiles have stopped dropping on Kuwait, although the all-clear sirens haven't sounded. Tonight should see the beginning of Operation Shock and Awe."
Female Newsreader: "And the Big Question on Everybody's Lips is -- How will all this affect the Oscars?"
Male newsreader (realising that this may be a slight gaffe, trying to fix it): "Er, the big Entertainment Question, you mean."
Female Newsreader (irritated at being interrupted): "Well, it's all we're thinking about in LA."
I turned off the news at that point, feeling like I was living in a rather broadly written satire.
