Britain admits it plagiarized UN report from homework of 11-year-old California girl
In a stunning admission, Tony Blair tearfully admitted today that several pages of the 19 page British intelligence report used by Colin Powell in his presentation to the UN were pulled directly from the book report of one Lucy Freeman of Santa Monica, California. Lucy, who likes rainbows, chickens, and really, really big balloons, says she was upset that the British government copied her report. "That's cheating. At my school kids get suspended for that stuff. Sometimes they even have to scrape the lugees off the playing field with a toothbrush. My friend Emilio cheated once and he had to do detention with Mrs. Chatsworth for a month, and she's really mean. Did you know that Justin Timberlake likes horses?"
Lucy got her information by surfing the internet. She says anybody could have done what she did. "It took me ten minutes. I watched MTV at the same time. It was a no brainer."
The document used by British officials pales in comparison to Lucy's seminal work, "Carson Daly: Too Old to be Cute?" a six-hundred page tome considered required reading by scholars of fluff.
Meanwhile, in Britain, Prime Minister Tony Blair has vowed to insure that all future reports submitted to the United Nations will first be run through Turnitin.com, the term paper plagiarism detection service.
