OTish Humour - a modern Bayeux Tapestry

Saw this on another group and it's certainly got me thinking!

IF THE BAYEUX TAPESTRY WAS MADE TODAY

- It would be presented in widescreen "Bayeuxmorphic" Format
- Historians would have to leave a spoiler when discussing who won the
Battle of Hastings
- Trailers would be run in British history school-books
- Copyright lawyers would investigate the supposedly accurate copy in the
Museum of Reading for breach of copyright
- Pirated cross-stitch or tapestry patterns of Bayeux scenes would be seized
and destroyed by police
- It would have a digitally remastered 5.1 Dolby Surround sound track and
CGI 'halos' added to all the explosions
- It would be embroidered in English with Latin subtitles
- It would have a scene showing that William failed to get UN backing for
his invasion
- It would include a love interest and change one of the scenes to make sure
Harold didn't fire first
- The "arrow in eye" scene would be replaced by a one-on-one sword fight
between Harold and William; just as Harold gasps his last, they would
discover they were brothers/cousins/father-and-estranged son; William would
carry the dying Harold from the battlefield
- There would be an embroidery sampler on "the making of the tapestry" due
out some time around the school holidays
- There would be a sequel "The Saxons Strike Back"

As a matter of fact , A group of British embroiderers , made a
tapestry about the Normandy Invasion, in the same Spirit as the Bayeux
Tapestry.
