Witnessed by numerous congressional leaders and Capitol Hill sightseers alike, Senator Barney Frank was crushed between the toes of a 20 meter long, 6 meter wide, naked foot.
Descending from the clouds above the steps of the Senate, the foot reportedly followed Frank down the steps and targeted him on the flat walkway in front of the building. In one swift motion the foot pounced on Frank, delivering the blow without mercy.
As the foot rose back up into the clouds, pieces of parchment floated down to those left unscathed on the steps. The parchments were picked up by Senators and Congressmen and said; "You have caused enough pain to your country, and your citizens, that's MY job. Fix the economy, or else!" The note was simply signed, "God".
Looking strangely familiar to some of the baby boomers witnessing the ominous execution, the foot was later identified as the same one seen in Monty Python cartoons, created by Terry Gilliam.
"Well of course" Gilliam was later quoted. "You don't think I made that up? I saw God's foot crush some corrupt members of British Parliament back in the 70's. I just thought it made for a great political cartoon."
Other reports were seen on the news wires from European and Asian capitols. The same foot was busy targeting war mongers, bad political leaders and televangelists. Parchment was dropped in every instance, warning those left alive to "clean up their act".
Oliver Stone was quick to respond to news reports, working on a movie script to prove that "The foot of God" was merely a special effect created by a top secret department of the Bush government. In his press conference, Stone follow with, "Think of the perfection of the conspiracy. Kill anyone you want, and make everybody believe that it was Goduurrgh."
With his last words, Stone was crushed by the same foot.
The crowd assembled for the press conference applauded, but booed when it transpired that both victims were still alive.
