I knew this was going to happen sooner or later: The US forms its own UN, reports the Onion.
In real news: The Fox News network poked fun at anti-war protesters, running taunting headlines instead of the usual news tickers while covering last Thursday’s rally in New York.
Lastly, American troops think that the ‘thumbs-up’ shown to them by Iraqi civilians is a show of support. To the Iraqis however, it may actually be interpreted as a foul insult meaning ‘up yours!’. Slate analyses the issue.
Which goes to show, really, that cultural differences shouldn’t be taken for granted.

Not sure if Fox News and real news go in the same sentence. 😛
