Passing notes at the UN?

At a meeting at the United Nations General Council today, it was discovered that deragatory notes were being passed among it's members. Despite a request from the United States that the authors of the notes be brought forth publicly, it was decided by mojority vote that only the contents of the notes be made public. This was, in the words of one official, done "in order to avoid international incident."

The contents of most of the notes seemed to poke fun at the United States, according to portions of the notes which have been released to the press. "This is most unproffesional behavior on the part of the delegates involved," US representatives stated in what could be described as a "huff" this afternoon. "As the most powerful nation on Earth, we beleive that we deserve more respect that this."

The notes refered to the United states delegates as "rude" and "cruel-minded", with "sadistic thoughts of world superiority and domination." The notes appeared to be written in a variety of handwrittings, and in more than one language, thus implicating that more than one delegate was involved.

"This is what might be described as "very third grade.," a US spokesperson sasserted this afternoon. "This is not going to be tolerated of the floor of the UN if we have anything to say about it."

"they think that they can just bully anybody around by running and crying to mommy about it," one of the delegates from whom the notes had been confiscated stated this afternoon. "just because I have the guts to call them 'slimey fish-stinking pig-dogs! They have not true guts, these Americans."

The American delegation could not be reached for comment this afternoon.
