So when I opened CNN this morning, I noticed that Michael Jackson had trumped Iran in the media spotlight, in that each set of articles had a separate heading apart from the other headlines, but MJ’s waon top.  Reading through the Iran section, I learned that Ahmadinejad is accusing the CIA of killing Neda.  He argues that it was almost too convenient that this beautiful, peaceful young woman should die so violently just when the cameras were there to catch every agonizing moment.  This played so nicely into the hands of the anti-govenment protesters, creating an instant martyr and symbol, that it must have been staged…and what nefarious, anti-Iranian group would be more likely to pull such a stunt than the CIA?

“Well,” I though, looking back at the headline, “isn’t it also quite convenient (this time for the Iranian govenmen) that another big story should come along this week to distract the media from brutality being inflicted on the pro-Mousavi crowds…”  Almost too convenient?

It was in that moment that I realized it: Michael Jackson was killed by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad!

I don’t know what this facebook thing is the kids keep talking about, but I do know that this sounds like the best proposal ever, and I don’t see why the author is complaining about it.
