Predator pilot strikes inferior village people with robotic hellfire to protect superior drone culture.

Kindle-Reading Predator Drone Pilot Wipes Out Entire Village Of Missing School Children
A distracted Lt. Lahcen Qouchbane accidentally squeezed his joystick moments after Sports Illustrated's "Swimsuit Issue" downloaded to his Kindle 3G. The errant squeeze unleashed the wrath of one thousand missile-drones, raining hellfire down upon the tiny village of Kyron, located in the remote Horman province. Qouchbane's joystick snafu was compounded by a CIA contractor who "illegally and hastily reverse-engineered" drone software code resulting in "inaccurate" targeting "by up to 13 metres."

Portland's Homeless Populations: "Keep 'em helpless, hopeless and above all, atomized."
