News of the project comes after Morris, who famously parodied the mainstream media’s attitude to paedophilia in a Brass Eye special in 2001

That was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. Chris Morris is quite good. This new project sounds a bit weird but maybe it will be more a mocking of the hijackers than anhything else. I’ll have to see it before I comment.

What could go wrong?

For the Europeans wrong, for us not so much…

In early Nov. 2008 we’ll see this headline in a British newspaper “How can 65 million Americans be so stupid?”

Except to say that a comedy version of United 93 would be an exceedingly bad idea.

Even worse than those awful Airplane movies Hollywood gave us in the 80′s?

Surely Morris is too clever and talented to associate himself with anything oafish.

What Chris Morris, and maybe many on the left, don’t see, in my opinion, is that when they attack Bush like the parody from Stephen M, they are attacking the United States Of Amercia, and all it’s citizens.

Five years of “Hate Bush!”, “Bush is Hitler!”, and lies about “torture” and “lying” have resulted not only in “Hate America”, but to the point, “Hate Americans”. ALL of us, left, right, or in the middle.

Then it becomes easy, to even think about making a parody about “United 93″…….. not understanding that the “American People” will have none of it. In fact, those on board are considered “Honored Dead”.

Like those on the USS Arizona, there is NOTHING funny about it!

Just my 0.02…..

Any old hack can get up, slag off America and score a few brownie points from fawning, dweebish students. But that’s not brave. That’s not challenging. That’s just boring and predictable.

I see a four group of Brits on rollerskates, pretending to be tube trains -and one double-decker bus- wheeling around on an Alhambra-cum-Camden Town art deco stage, syncopating their story to caterwauling hip hop Egyptian pop music.

As they progress, another batch of rollerskaters, in hoodies and toting overstuffed red backpacks, insert themselves into the groups, one by one.

The Brits do pratfalls and clownish double-takes when the backpacks “explode”, one by one, with spring-loaded confetti and papier mache body parts, skate wheels and silly string.

Why aren’t the London train bombings as funny as Flight 93?

Dead Americans are more mirthful than local viscera?

General satire is aimed at those with no sense of humor.

Or aren’t 1.2 billion of them enough of a comedy target for this “daring” “humorist”?

Hook hands Hamza seems overdue for a lampooning.

(But, of course, Bushitler [reg. us. pat. off.] and Yanks are so much safer. While England, ironically, grows less so, day by day… That’s a helluva punchline, eh?)

What could go wrong?

Surely Morris is too clever and talented to associate himself with anything oafish.

“The Rise and Fall of the British Empire, or how a world power collapsed and became a soup kitchen for muslims.”

The stretched twig of peace is at melting point….

He is a surrealist and that makes his humour very hit and miss. But when it hits, nothing is funnier.

I love the man very much, but he needs a strong producer to keep him on the right racks.

On this one, however, Chris Morris is certain to sound like one of the complete no chance morons from American Idol.
