ABC's overnight news show, World News Now, has a recurring segment called "World News Then", where they air pieces of ABC News broadcasts as they covered various important events of the past. Last April 1st, they decided that instead of running a piece from a few decades ago, it would be more interesting to go back a few millennia. One of the stories they rebroadcast was the following report from 2400 BC:
"Egypt's emerging papyrus technology continues to alarm parents and law enforcement. A new bill introduced today would let the government regulate material found on papyrus. Legislators said paperspace, as it is known to so-called 'writers', is becoming a haven for monotheists, con artists and worse hoping to prey on the young and gullible. A little bit later in this broadcast we will have some tips on how to shield your children from offensive and dangerous material found on the dangerous papyrus."
