Sutherland quitting and palmer returning?!!!

Just found this on Foxnews.com.

“Kiefer feels that he has been blessed with the
opportunity to be on such a successful show, however there is a point where one needs
to take a break and ‘move back into reality’.”

I didn't have time to copy the link because i'm so *beep*ing pi**ed off, but i copied the screen. View it at img403.imageshack.us/img403/4547/foxnewsreportjh2.jpg

It's *beep*ing insane, I can't beleive it. It's *beep*ing lame that Kiefer is backing out of his contract. I hate 24 now, Jack was the whole point of the show! oh yeah btw Palmer's coming back too, possibly in flashbacks; obviously the writers have run out of ideas.

Hotcha. It's been confirmed by various sources:

CALIFORNIA (BBC Entertainment - 01 Apr 2007) Kiefer Sutherland confirmed reports today that he will be leaving the hit FOX TV show, '24'.

Amidst rumours of on-set feuds with directors and co-actors, the actor today walked out.

"Don't worry, " says FOX commisioner of drama April Sloof, "we will continue to air 24 as planned for the remainder of the season".

When asked about the future of the show, April replied: "I wouldn't get my hopes up [...] the shows ratings have dropped significantly over the past few months, and without [Kiefer] I can't see an improvement."

"[He] just got too violent, " co-star Mary-Lynn Rajskub claims. "Maybe he spent too much time playing [Jack] Bauer?"

Claims have already been made that Hollywood actor Ben Stiller will replace Kiefer in the next season of '24', and possibly the upcoming '24' feature length movie. Whether he will fill the role of the shows front-man, Jack Bauer is unkown.

There's no way this isn't an April Fool's joke. I hate April 1st.

[soydannabanana]

I am positive that it is an April Fools Day joke.
There is no other explanation...
And the whole Ben Stiller thing gave it all away.

Haha I'm pretty positive that Bauer Power edited my post, or I made a huge typo.

[Bauer Power]

Yeah I think you made a huge typo cause I didn't touch your post.

Oh yeah, and if you didn't know by now it's an April Fool's joke.

Just thought I'd let you guys know 9 days after April Fools.
