One show that I obviously can connect to the war in Iraq is the show Lil Bush on Comedy Central. It deals directly with Bush and puts a satirical approach to the way he acts and make decisions. He is portrayed as a little kid, acting childish in every way. One way that I find this show amusing is because everyone thought that when Bush decided to go into war with Iraq, he didn't clearly think it through and didn't think about the lives of those who he would be sending in to fight. In a way this is childish and selfish.

Another show that I can relate is Bullrun. This was a show about Teams racing in cars around the U.S., to try and reach the destination in the fastest possible time. I find this some what of an irony because here you are watching a show about cars and the amount of fuel consumption that they are using just from this show, and you think about how we as a country are struggling for oil a reason for the Iraqi war. I think it's funny how on the show, they make it seem like there is no worry about gas and its consumption or the price of it, but in reality everything is wrapped around oil prices not just oil itself. Much of our food is increasing in price because of oil and other means. I just thought it was an irony for the show.
