BOSTON, MA - WGBH intends broadcasting a holiday special starring former terrorist William Ayers. The special, described by one source as "like spending Christmas day being scolded by a scary man," initially seemed doomed. "The show was four hours long," said PBS spokesperson Tara Logan-Taylor. "And Professor Ayers wanted it shown without breaks." PBS balked, but at the last moment "it became financially possible, thanks to a grant from the Chubb Foundation." Filmed in Chicago, one Christmas party segment featured Ayers yelling through a megaphone at second graders for their "toy lust and greed when kids all over the world are being blown apart by a kill-crazed U.S. war machine." Another segment showed Ayers, dressed as Santa Claus, handing youngsters gifts from Cuba: rope sandals (all in Men's size 9) and a coloring book describing how to inform on your parents. "It's a bit preachy," admitted Taylor-Logan, "but we're hoping viewers hang around for the action stuff, like when the Professor dynamites a Burger King."
Good post, I agree it is in the realm of possibility, it would be consistent with the "in your face" sort of triumphalism we are now experiencing from the left.

This is a joke, right? How about a link to the WGBH or PBS websites to show that this program actually exists?
Amy,
You are most certainly right.
This is a joke.
I just looked on PBS and searched google, nothing.... not that I would put it past PBS.....
Buffoon,
Sadly, it really is within the realm of possibility.
Are you telling me that PBS won't be showing a Burger King being blown up to celebrate the True Meaning of Christmas?
Then where the hell are the public dollars going?????
I'm crushed.
I thought lying about Bill Ayers went out of fashion after Obama's electoral landslide victory.
Marie,

That was absolutely HILARIOUS.
A coloring book instructing children how to inform on their parents? That was classic. I laughed out loud when I read this.
Unfortunately, this captures the character of Ayers perfectly. I'm sorry it won't be aired ... I really would have liked to see it.
