VNN Special Report #1:

Chaos In The Middle East part 1

We interrupt Cooking With Irma to bring you this special report

“Hello. I am Erik Von Luthor, and this is a Villain News Network Special Report.”

“Since the riots in Egypt started on January 25, Chaos has consumed the Middle East as other countries have followed in the footsteps of the Egyptian people. Equally chaotic has been the reaction of the Super Villain community. Since Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak stepped down this past Friday, Super Villains from around the world have been submitting applications to the World Domination Permits department of the United Nations, all attempting to gain a foothold and fill the power vacuum in the Middle East. “

“A representative of the World Domination committee said that the recent events in the Middle East has presented the Super Villain community with a unique opportunity, so it was decided to allow people to apply for a special permit. Unfortunately they failed to anticipate the demand for the special permits, and as a result the Permits Department has been flooded with people, both registered Super Villains and Civilians hoping to break into the Super Villain game. One Super Villain, Professor Peril, was reported as having said that he hasn't seen a room that crowded since the time his Cloning Vats accidentally released all the clones at the same time.”

“We now go live to the World Domination Permits Department in New York City, where Ramsay Gorden is standing by. Ramsay, how are things there.”

“Um, pretty calm actually. I'm surprised we're reporting on it.”

“Ramsay, are you in the World Domination Permit Department in the United Nations Building in New York City?”

“Of course I am. Where else would I be?”

“Um, maybe a mall in Toledo, Ohio?”

“What would make you think that?”

“Maybe the big sign over your head that said 'Welcome to the biggest mall in Toledo, Ohio?'”

“............I might be there.”

“So why are we talking to you?”

“I'm not really sure.”

“Now I know why you were fired by BBC America.”

“You do? Because I'm still trying to figure it out.”

“Sigh. You're an idiot Ramsay. As for the situation in the World Domination Permit Department, we will keep you updated on it as it develops and will break into programing if there is anything to report. Until then, I am Erik Von Luthor. Good night.”

We now return to Cooking With Irma, already in progress.
