++URGENT: sycophantic cliche warning 18th February++

Health Authorities across the world are warning that a high risk of pious, smug and sycophantic cliches will occur next Thursday (18th February) as Barak Obama meets the Dalai Lama.

Authorities have long warned that the "smugons" emitted by Obama may interact badly with the "pions" produced by leading self-righteous figures such as the Dalai Lama. With the two sources meeting the concentration of pointless, cliched drivel across the airwaves could become intolerable for those of a more sensitive disposition.

"Anyone Chinese or holding any kind of right-wing or libertarian view is advised to avoid news broadcasts for the period of risk" advises a WHO Spokescreature; "exposure could cause palpitations, aggressive behaviour and axe-wielding."

The WHO advises those witnessing these responses to proceed carefully and not to use words like 'spiritual', 'leader' or 'human rights' as these may lead to more extreme acts up to an including violence or even self-harm. Medical services have stocked up on photographs of Margaret Thatcher and film clips of Ronald Reagan for use in such emergencies.

"We hope to contain any outbreak," said the WHO Spokescreature.
