Based on some of the descriptions I'd read I was expecting Sadaam's torture chamber for turkeys with slasher movie effects. Instead, I get to watch some schmo apparently decapitate a bird or two--not that it's really evident-- and look sheepish because he realizes he's being filmed at it! Anybody who made a fuss about this deserves to be served up a big plate of warmed-over Tofurkey for Thanksgiving dinner. With a side of sprouts. Jeez–this is what all the fuss was about?

The horror.
