My wife and I often joke that we live in scary times when the news looks like The Simpsons. Sometimes these show no loner look like satire but more like avant-garde.

And now...

Insurgent leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is seen puzzling over how to fire a machine gun and trotting around in tennis shoes in a video that the U.S. military released Thursday to mock his prowess as a field commander.

Here is the entire video.

It is great to see him humiliated, especially after his recent demotion.

This time, it was not the Simpsons but Family Guy that was playing avant garde.
