US modifies Pledge of Allegiance to include Jack Bauer
In the wake of the end of the two-hour season- and series-finale of the hit-series “24″, the US pledge of allegiance has been modified in a swift move through a bipartisan move and across the two houses to include an allegiance to Jack Bauer, the hands-on counter-terrorist protagonist. The new pledge of allegiance which will henceforth be sworn across the country reads as follows:
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, to the Republic for which it stands and to aworld protector Jack Bauer, judge, jury and prosecutor.
The first draft of a pledge of allegiance including Jack Bauer still included the previous phrase “one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all” but was quickly deemed too long. Within the hour the draft was corrected.
Asked for his motivation to vote for the bill, one republican senator had this to say: “Duh! Jack Bauer is cool, man.” A more detailed answer was to be had from his colleague across the aisle:
Listen, Jack Bauer not only saved the world like a million times over by saving the US, he also brought down his own agency and defied on numerous accounts other government agencies that had been compromised by terrorists. He also brought down at least three corrupt presidencies with his righteousness and stopped two fraudulent vice-presidential takeovers as well as give some dozen foreign countries and terrorist organisations a run for their money.
He added: “.. also, he is really uber-cool.”
The (current) president of the United States of America didn’t comment on the new pledge. In fact, he didn’t answer his phone since the hit-series ended, which has been excused to the bitterness, that the series-finale had brought with it. Knowing that from now on, and after the head of the counter-terrorist unit and friend of Jack Bauer Chloe O’Brian had ordered the drone looking at Bauer to be shut down, nobody will really know where Jack Bauer is and what his days look like, has devastated the country and even brought some communities to complete standstill.
But skeptics have argued that the president is actually afraid to leave his bunker because he is nervous about what Bauer would do to him if he knew about his sins. One commentator who wished to stay anonymous argued, that this new climate would frighten any US president to start a war unjustly or for that matter make peace unjustly..
