Al Qaeda Purchases Naming Rights To New Chicago Stadium
CHICAGO-The Bear’s organization has sold the naming rights to Chicago’s new stadium to the terrorist group Al Qaeda, sources reported. The group was the highest bidder in a field that included Bank of America and Blockbuster Video. The asking price was reported to be in the 100 million-dollar range. “We just thought it would be a good partnership,” said Bears president Ted Phillips. “They’re a great organization top to bottom. Plus, they’re very active in the community.” The name of the stadium will be changed from Soldier Field to Mujadeen Field, in honor of the Mujadeen who fought against the infidel forces in Afghanistan. Also, Bears football games will officially be referred to as “Bears football presented by Al Qaeda.”


Islamic Fundamentalists Denounce Volleyball For Some Reason
TIKRIT, IRAQ-Islamic Fundamentalists took the streets of Iraq today to demonstrate against the game of volleyball for some reason. Thousands of Muslims marched through Tikrit chanting “No to volleyball! Yes to Allah!” and holding signs featuring volleyballs adorned with tiny devil horns. “I’m not sure why they’re protesting,” said Sgt Lance Fredrickson, of the 5th Infantry. “The other day, a few of the guys were playing volleyball. It must’ve upset them for some reason.” The crowd was large but peaceful, and forbade all Muslims from engaging in the American game. According to Sgt. Fredrickson, this isn’t the first time the people of Tikrit have protested. “These people protest every other day. I think they just protest for the sake of protesting. Last week they protested non-dairy creamer. And the week before that it was John Tesh. I dunno. You figure it out.”
