No One Notices World Takeover

International bandaged terrorists recoiled in horror today after making a largely successful takeover attempt of several major capital cities only to find that no one had noticed...

John Thompson of rampant indifference group Apathy in the UK said "I don't really care". His sentiments are shared by the populace at large it seems. One terrorist even resorted to blowing up a shopping trolley to attract attention. He succeeded only in being escorted from the supermarkets premises by security and losing his loyalty card.

The FTSE 100 grew wildly this morning amidst confusion regarding the exact nature of the takeover. "Who bought who?" was written on a huge sheet and draped from the walls of the trading floor. Traders later covered up their idiocy by attributing these rises to the media frenzy and the AOL/Time Warner deal.

A bearded revolutionary who signs his name 'X' commented, "The bloody French park trucks and people notice - we take over the world and what happens? Fouk all, thats what". A French lorry driver was interviewed and asked his comments on this. "What takeover?" he asked.

Power has been restored in most cities now as disillusioned terrorists ponder their next move. "I think the bottom fallen out of this industry" said one suicide bomber. Job Centres reported large numbers of men in balaclavas seeking a 'career change'. Sandra Hill of the Employment Service commented, "I think they realised there is more money to be made as a part time machinist. And, of course, the minimum wage does not apply to those working outside the law."
