Torchwood Causes Resurgence of Violence in Southeast Asia
The new Torchwood miniseries “Children of Earth” has caused an uptick of violence in Southeast Asia.
The BBC has refused to broadcast the coveted show throughout Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Burma, causing a resurgence of civil war between die-hard Doctor Who fans and those who support the BBC’s work on Torchwood.
“Apparently, there are a number of fans of the television show who are angry with rival Whovians and the BBC,” stated U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, currently on a trip throughout Asia.
Four bombings in Ho Chi Minh City alone have caused a reported 68 deaths and a number of casualties.
“We ask that the BBC rethink its decision and air the miniseries on public television,” said Clinton.
Bootleg copies have been confiscated by a number of police officials.
Southeast Asia was the site of a protracted war during the mid-20th century between Communist and Nationalist forces as well as intervention by the French and U.S. militaries.
