Recently on the hit FOX show 24 Jack Bauer, whose kill numbers must be higher than Charlie Sheen in Hot Shots Part Deux, has recently discovered that the mastermind nemesis in the shadows is none other than (drum roll) the President Of The United States.
Hold on one god damned second – a US President sanctioning illegal acts in order to secure America a greater percentage of the world’s oil?
So far… sorry, ‘previously’ on 24 we’ve had nuclear explosions, plane crashes, train derailments, numerous assassinations, an oil refinery being blown up, numerous deadly viruses, betrayals, marriages, affairs, love, sex, death… but a nefarious President who is seeking to profit in oil from war?
It’s completely unbelievable. How 24’s star and executive producer Kiefer Sutherland ever managed to broadcast such claims, thinly veiled in this work of high-octane fiction, past the scrutiny of the Fox network chiefs is as big a mystery as ABC’S Lost.
More amazement comes from the fact that the White House has failed either to spot the claims or respond to them, especially now that former Fox News host Tony Snow has taken the top spot as White House press secretary. Of course, George W. Bush isn’t a fictional character involved in a conspiracy for oil, nor is he someone who would fumble and stammer in a time of crisis. He is an American Hero, a savoir of the free world. In fact, there's no similarity between him and 24’s current President, Charles Logan.
24 has now blown all credibility it had built up in the past five years.Keep your breath held for 24 series six, where Jack Bauer rises to the role of grand leader of planet Earth, fighting aliens known as The Others. No, wait…
