Satire Saturday: Man Dressed as American Revolution Soldier Shoots TV During Royal Wedding

Nathaniel Jackson, a 31 year old warehouse worker from Ooltewah, Tn was excited to watch the Royal Wedding. A history buff and enthusiastic war re-enactor, Jackson decided to wear his American Revolution outfit for the event. He had just worked a 12 hour shift and thought a few Red Bulls would be enough to keep him awake. Instead, he began dozing off. Unfortunately, he was holding his custom made, 18th century pistol often used for dueling. He was awakened when his gun–thankfully pointed at the tv–went off, shattering his new flatscreen. He plans to save up for a new television set and to continue re-enacting with his friends. #satiresaturday
