[ graphic reveals actor Walter Kemp, AKA “Cuddly Kevy” ] Known to millions as “Cuddly Kevy” from the “Happy Smile Patrol”, Walter Kemp was found dead in the lauundry room of his apartment building, with a plastic dry cleaning bag over his head, surrounded by numerous crude drawings of naked men. Once again, TV’S “Cuddly Kevy”, a Vietname veteran, dead today. We return now to our regularly scheduled programming.

Anchor: An alert is in in effect in the tri-county area, as authorities are now searching for this woman: [ reveal mug shot of “Glenda Giggles” ] Brenda Panhauser, AKA Michelle Trent, AKA TV personality “Glenda Giggles.” Panhauser was arrested late last night at John Wayne Airport, when a cavity search revealed she was in possession of dozens of heroin-filled condoms. After being detained… [ show file fotage of “Glenda Giggles” dancing ] Panhauser, shown here as “Glenda Giggles”, lured a customs official into an airport bathroom, offering sex acts in exchange for her release. Then, at the moment of male orgasm, she apparently produced a razor blade from her mouth and cut his throat to the spine. Panhauser escaped, and is considered extremely dangerous. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming — the “Happy Smile Patrol” — currently in progress.

Anchor: Hello again. an apparent twist in the auto-erotic suicide of Walter Kemp. Police now believe that “Cuddly Kevy” was, in fact, murdered… by these men. [ reveal photo of “Teddy Tickles” and “Harry Hugs” in militia garb ] William Sorris and Allen Geyton, known to children everywhere as “Teddy Tickles” and “Harry Hugs” from the “Happy Smile Patrol”. Sorris is also known for murdering a federal judge, and for going to the top of Candy Cane Mountain in a balloon powered by happiness. Sorris and Geyton are the leaders of the group called The Eagle of Christ, which has been inked to a recent spate of hospital bombings. The two are currently hiding in the Black Hills, using bear traps and brush fires to hold off police and the National Guard. More as events unfold. We return now, unfortunately, to the “Happy Smile Patrol”.
