John Cleese recently wrote this piece in the British press:

Bitter after being snubbed for membership in the "Axis of Evil", Libya, China, and Syria today announced they had formed the "Axis of Just as Evil," which they said would be more evil than that Iran-Iraq-North Korea axis President Bush warned of in his State of the Union address.

Axis of Evil members, however, immediately dismissed the new axis ashaving, for starters, a really dumb name. "Right, they are Just as Evil...in their dreams!", declared North Korean leader Kim Jong-il. "Everybody knows we're the best evils....best at being evil...we're the best". Diplomats from Syria denied they were jealous over being excluded, although they conceded they did ask if they could join the Axis of Evil. "They told us it was full," said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. "An Axis can't have more than three countries," explained Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. "This is not my rule, it's tradition. In World War II you had Germany, Italy and Japan in the evil axis. So you can only have three, and a secret handshake. Ours is wickedly cool".

International reaction to Bush's Axis of Evil declaration was swift, as, within minutes, France surrendered. Elsewhere, peer-conscious nations rushed to gain triumvirate status in what became a game of geopoliticalchairs. Cuba, Sudan and Serbia said they had formed the "Axis of Somewhat Evil", forcing Somalia to join with Uganda and Myanmar in the "Axis of Occasionally Evil", while Bulgaria, Indonesia and Russia established the "Axis of Not So Much Evil Really as Just Generally Disagreeable".

With the criteria suddenly expanded and all the desirable clubs filling up...Sierra Leone, El Salvador and Rwanda applied to be called the "Axis of Countries that aren't the Worst but Certainly Won't be Asked to Host the Olympics". Canada, Mexico and Australia formed the "Axis of Nations that are Actually Quite Nice but Secretly have some Nasty Thoughts about America", while Scotland, New Zealand and Spain established the "Axis of
Countries that be Allowed to Ask Sheep to Wear Lipstick". "That's not a threat, really, just something we like to do," said Scottish Executive First Minister Jack McConnell.

While wondering if the other nations of the world weren't perhaps making fun of him, a cautious Bush granted approval for most axis, although he rejected the establishment of the "Axis of Countries Whose Names End in "Guay", accusing one of its members of filing a false application. Officials from Paraguay, Uruguay and Chadguay denied the charges.

Israel, meanwhile, insisted it didn't want to join any Axis, but
privately, leaders said that it's only because no one asked them.

i love it, gonna send it to my dad

Soul Miner, I think you just made sense of the whole world situation. ROTFLMAO. This is terrific and should be made mandatory reading. In fact, I think I'll try to form the "Axis for Mandatory Reading" group as soon as I post this.

Thanks!

very funny!-----thanks!

It's great reading, but sorry to say John Cleese had nothing to do with it.

Origins: Echoing a line from President Bush's 2002 State of the Union address in which he referred to states such as Iran, Iraq, and North Korea (and their terrorist allies) as an "axis of evil," this bit of political satire plays on the humor of a jealous Libya, China, and Syria forming an "axis of just as evil." Unlike his fellow Monty Python member Terry Jones, however, John Cleese isn't penning political articles about the current situation with Iraq -- this piece comes from the archives of SatireWire.

But I agree, it's still so funny and so very true

LMFAO@ SOULMINER

Let me be a charter member of “Axis for Mandatory Reading".

I still can’t make sense of the world though. I know it is totally screwed up when…

1. The greatest rap singer is white.
2. The best golf player is black.
3. France is accusing the United States of being arrogant.
4. Germany is refusing to go to war.
