Osama Raid Re-Enacted in Hilarious Taiwanese CGI

SIMS-SATIONAL
God Bless the NMA.
The Taiwanese news outfit -- which re-enacts media events with CGI characters straight outta
The Sims
-- may be short on satire, but its videos bring just as many laughs as
The Daily Show
and
Colbert Report
combined. Last November,
NMA depicted the war between Conan O'Brien, Jay Leno, and NBC
with bong-smoking Conan fans, vehicular homicide, and a metaphor-heavy bear. And last night, as
everyone else was tweeting
their funniest "long-form death certificate" quips, NMA recreated a
slightly more surreal version
of the US raid on bin Laden's hideout -- rivaling
South Park's
blazingly fast response
to
Apple's location tracking scandal
.
Clearly, NMA was as pleased as the rest of the world to hear the news, so be forewarned: The footage is a tad violent, but hilariously gratifying.
