CAPITAL CITY, JERKISTAN(Concocted News) – Weary from constant car bombings, sniper attacks and other random acts of violence, countries from the Middle East to Asia have established the nation of Jerkistan, where area nogoodniks will be free to do whatever the hell they want.
Ameer Jamal – the Iraqi college student who came up with the idea for Jerkistan – said it was a recent attempt to go out of town for spring break that prompted him to take action about the ongoing car bombings in his country.
"Me and some friends were gonna rent a car and go to the gulf for spring break," Jamal said. "But have you tried renting a car in Iraq? Yeah, didn’t think so. There aren’t any left!"
Jamal said he was tired of terrorists and snipers ruining the world opinion of his country – and of other countries in the Eastern Hemisphere. Through the social networking site Twitter, Jamal garnered support for his idea to use sand and chunks of rock from multiple countries to build the island nation of Jerkistan in the Arabian Sea.
Jamal’s girlfriend, Anisa Hammad, recalled the overwhelming reaction to Jamal’s tweet about his idea.
"Suddenly, we had people from, like, all over, tweeting about sending us sand and stuff for the project," she said. "I totally could not believe that Afghanistan was saying they’d lop off some of their mountaintops if it’d help build a new barren-piece-of-crap island where jerks would have to live."
Officials in the country of Pakistan said they had already loaded a planeload of wife-abusing snipers to be sent to the island, where they will live alongside other lowlifes that have been evicted from their home countries.
"They had their chance to be cool, but they just couldn’t get with the program," Jamal said.
