CNN story about Iran and when they start talking about the US 5th fleet in the region they show Canadian War Ships instead.

Found the original story they used the video of, seems the HMCS Iroquois is the command ship for the area so it makes sense now. Still funny listening them talk about the US 5th fleet and showing Canadian War Ships though.

Thats not going to work in the middle east. 80s rock is still current there, no?
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

None. Although if I had to choose I'd be the blonde chick 'coz she's getting loads of tang.

They are a parody but I think I'm right in saying they've all been in various bands for some time and they know roughly what they are doing.
