Cyberspace - (AssoCIAted Mess): Mossad - Israel's security service - has launched its very own blogsite and immediately appealed for help from the internet's most raucous satirical website TheSpoof.com for a makeover of its laughingstock image.
The move follows nearly five years of the CIA rubbishing the Tel Aviv-based agency's intelligence sources and claims that superior insider information was always available free of charge from TheSpoof.com's daily updates.
The new Spooks-R-Us.web website has approached veteran writers at TheSpoof.com with questions about how they were recruited, the type of work they perform in their non-blog lives and the inspiration for some of the more ludicrous stories always available on the satirical site.
The new site features just four Mossad bloggers who, much like satirical counterparts, all work from seedy, rat-infested asbestos-lined basements dotted around the world.
Bureau Chief Moses Falafel appears on the new site and has donned the requisite clip-on handlebar mustache favored by TheSpoof.com editor Mark Lowton in a gesture of solidarity as well as rapprochement.
"It seems we have much to learn from our cyberspace Alma Mater," Falafel said today.
