GI Joe Fools the AP
You know, there is a lot to hate about the war in
Iraq. And the taking and killing of hostages is at the top of the list.
But this - this is too damn funny. A hostage taken by an Islamic group had his picture taken and posted to the web. Everyone picked up on the story, including the Associated Press. As it turns out, the picture is a complete fake. The "hostage" is actually a "Special Ops Cody" doll made by Dragon Models, USA. The gun in the image is also directly from the toy's package, as is the entire uniform. Check out the photos below.
