Celebrations Of Wicked Witch’s Death Decried as Unseemly

OZ2-1MUNCHKIN CITY - Commentators criticized as ”ugly” and “unseemly” the spontaneous celebrations that erupted across the County of Oz in the wake of the death of the Wicked Witch of the East.

The Witch was killed when a farmhouse fell on top of her. It is widely believed that the attack was carried out by U.S. special elite forces. 

Immediately, residents of Munchkin City took to the streets and broke out into an elaborate song and dance number, a display that an Oz Times editorial decried as “the worst kind of jingoistic hubris.”

Controversial film-maker Michael Moore said the Munchkins were wrong to celebrate what he regards as an “execution.” Moore said the witch should have been captured and tried in accordance with International law.
