An Al-Qaeda Holiday May Soon Be Available at a Cave Near You

Vote now!

Would YOU take Branson's al-Qaeda vacation?
Boy howdy, would I ever!
No cotton-pickin' way, mister
Only if they get rid of those gauche turbans
Bolstered by the response to his proposal to offer space flights - drinks included - as an incentive, Sir Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, now seeks to expand the current reality-show fad to include a package that has intrepid vacationers acting out as al-Qaeda.

"Of course, they won't actually be al-Qaeda, but they'll spend time in a cave dressed in the appropriate garb surrounded by our Arabic speaking hosts," emphasized Branson.

"We plan scenario tours including: plotting against someone or something; being chased, requiring movement from cave to cave; and sitting in indoctrination classes listening to repetitive harangues.

Each participant will be provided with an AK-47 and a rocket launcher. Taping of garbled coded messages is also included in each package. Added Branson, "We feel classes in learning manufacture of weapons of mass destruction would be useless, since anyone with a computer can do that."

In what appears to be an odd amalgam of computer gaming, reality TV and current events, al-Qaeda officials have become peeved with the idea. "We own the rights to 'al-Qaeda' and find the unauthorized use of the name, even for amusement, a clear violation of the al-Qaeda franchise," said an unidentified representative.

Branson's response was typically business-like. "We feel that once they see the pilot program and understand that we will negotiate terms and fees, they will be amenable. We have offered Osama the first ride in our space flight program as a 'signing bonus'. Mr. bin Laden is foremost a business man and I think understands the potential here."

Fox Corporation head Rupert Murdock has also offered to film the "vacationers" to be part of a new Fox reality series called Code Red.

Al-Qaeda countered that "outside" filming could damage the franchise. "We can eliminate the middleman and sell directly to the networks, reducing distribution costs and enhancing margins," said a representative. Noting the success of paintball and other army-type maneuver games, he added, "This may be better than the opium gig in Afghanistan."

"Tie-in rights and gaming residuals are now on the table. I think we are getting close," said Branson.
