SAN FRANCISCO, CA — A Congresswoman has filed a formal complaint against the United States military after being featured in an unauthorized "Make Her Famous" campaign.

Representative Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) sent a letter to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel after her picture — along with the phone number to her Washington, D.C. office — began simultaneously appearing in countless military barracks, wardrooms, briefing rooms, combat operation centers, porta-johns, and on the DoD's official website.

According to Speier, the campaign was originally started by the Facebook group "F’n Wook," whose website was unavailable at press time, but based on the name appears to be some type of Star Wars fan club. The connection with the military is unknown.

Pentagon casualties, metric improvement, and Fat Leonard’s least dignified phase.

A State Department map that relocated most of Africa, one ambitious government travel card, and 5,200 medical students moved from dorms that definitely do not have mold.
