Sky News tonight. Shaky green videocam shot of reporter in Bahdad with minaret framed in background, talking in suitably high pitch to give sense of drama when we hear air raid siren going off. Reporter finishes sentence and then says "and thats an air raid siren!"

Also, earlier today on Sky or BBC (can't remember, they're all as pathetic as each other) anchor is chatting to some resident expert or another and dramtically breaks off the interview and says: "Sorry, we are breaking this off to go live aboard the USS (put in suitable name) where we have live pictires coming in!"

Cut to another shaky videophone shot of the wake of a ship and the horizon! Big wow!
