Palestinians Seriously Over-react To Peterson Verdict

In an unexpected show of emotion over a seemingly routine event half a world away Palestinians took to the streets of Ramallah today as the verdict of guilty was returned for Scott Peterson. Residents of the West-Bank and Gaza climbed telephone poles, fired AK-47's in the air and women donned black to walk wailing prayers through the streets. "It is quite flattering but I don't see why I am so important to them," the ethnocentric Peterson was quoted as saying, "they must get court t.v."

In unrelated news, Yasser Arafat was transported from his funeral in Cairo, Egypt to be buried at his former compound today.
