Obama Gives Go-Ahead to Destroy Moon
WASHINGTON - President Obama has officially ordered the moon’s complete annihilation. When approached for comment, the White House said this controversial decision “reemphasizes this administration’s message to the United States - it addresses the concerns our people have regarding national debt.”
“People don’t seem to realize how many billions of dollars maintenance of the moon requires,” says Obama. “It would just be so much easier to get rid of it.”
Unsurprisingly, this development has caused outrage amongst environmentalists. “What do you think is going to happen to the tides,” says marine biologist Cynthia Goldberg. “The moon critically impacts all life on this planet. Without it, the Earth will be a drastically altered, most likely uninhabitable hunk of rock. I urge President Obama to reconsider.”
Regardless of the mass effort to halt this legislation, the moon is slated to be destroyed on June 18th, 2012.
