   In 
                          what is being viewed as a tragedy of minuscule proportions 
                          tonight, The Rev. Brendan Powell Smith has been shot 
                          down in a hail of bullets. The incident occurred earlier 
                          this evening at approximately 7:32 PM (PST) when a deranged 
                          fan of The Brick Testament fired a fully loaded N-Strike 
                          Firefly REV-8 at Smith from close range, hitting 
                          him multiple times in the upper torso and neck. A photo 
                          (inset) snapped by longtime girlfriend Lila Tene just 
                          milliseconds before the impact captures a look of resigned 
                          acceptance on Smith's face. Tuesday

 Acting at the behest of children's advocate lobbying 
                          groups, Congress voted today to ban the institution 
                          of parenthood after recent 
                          studies revealed that 78.5% 
                          of all child abuse and sexual abuse is perpetrated by 
                          a parent of the victim. "For years now we have 
                          misguidedly sought to protect children from strangers 
                          lurking on the internet or wandering their neighborhoods," 
                          said Rep. F. James Sensenbrenner (R-Wisconsin), "but 
                          now that the facts are in, we must act clearly and decisively 
                          to protect children from the true perpetrators of these 
                          heinous crimes." Any adults caught parenting children 
                          in the US are now subject to a $100,000 fine and up 
                          to eighteen years in prison.
