With the sad news of the Queen Mother's death just days ago, Rupert Murdoch has revlealed some surprise news to the British Sky TV subscribers - Funeral Interactive.
The channel has been set up using similar technology to the recent Sky News Active and F1 Digital Plus ventures. Viewers will pay a flat fee of £15 for an all-day licence.
Eight cameras will be set up altogether including one on the roof of the hearse, several fly-by cameras at the roadside, a helecopter tracking cam and an exclusive camera has been today implanted into the late Royal's forehead to give a "Coffin-Eye-View" of the whole action-packed day of mourning.
"Stay tuned!" Exclaimed BSkyB's spokesman, "If all goes to plan, the technology should still be in place to benefit from the Queen's demise and hopefully Camilla-Parker-Bowles in the not too distant future".
Outside a local post-office the general public have replied with varying opinion-spews with over half believing Murdoch has gone too car this time. "What next?", Said a local benefit-claiming pleb, "...Live deaths broadcast straight to your TV set?". CMNN didn't take much notice as he probably can't afford the Pay-Per-View service anyway.
