Funny E-Mail

I got one of those joke e-mails today and I thought it was just to funny so I had to post it here:


A Harley rider is cruising by the zoo in Washington, DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.

A reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.' The Harley rider replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right..' The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this extraordinary effort won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, you know, and tomorrow's paper will have your story on the front page... So, what do you do for a living?' The biker replies, 'I'm an active duty U.S. Marine and a registered Republican.' The journalist raises his eyebrows and leaves. The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed the story of his actions is published, and reads, on the front page:


U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH

That pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days.
