OT re OT: Chinese Embassy Gore Pushes for Kosovar Refugee Relief WASHINGTON, DC - Vice President Al Gore, inventor of the Internet, is hoping to make life more bearable for the Kosovar refugees by bringing his invention to their filth ridden, disease infested, camps. Gore told our BNN Washington correspondent, "Every time I see their dirty faces and crying children on the television I feel very sad. I was searching for a meaningful way to make their lives better when it dawned on me that the internet would be a good thing to give them." Gore plans to have 20,000 computers shipped to refugee camps as early as next week. Each computer will be hooked up to a T3 so that the Kosavars can have the best possible internet experience. Each refugee will also be given an email account, 100 free hours on America Online, and a credit card to pay for online shopping and access to porn sites. The plan has been dubbed "Operation Cyber Smile" and will be paid for through a special tax that Gore plans to collect from the phone bills of American citizens. Responding to criticism of the new phone bill tax Gore told BNN, "Something needed to be done to brighten the lives of these sad and oppressed people. Those who are complaining about the cost are selfish. Americans should be proud that I have given them an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of the Kosavar refugees."
