PARIS, FRANCE – In a desperate bid to reclaim its former glory in Olympic shooting competitions, the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) announced today that it will be enlisting the services of renowned thespian and accidental marksman Alec Baldwin.
“We’ve been struggling to find shooters with the kind of raw, unfiltered talent and unwavering confidence needed to compete at the highest level,” said USOC spokesperson, Kevin McAllister. “After careful consideration, we realized that we already have the perfect candidate right here in America. Someone who can handle a firearm with such reckless abandon, yet still maintain an air of sophisticated nonchalance. Someone like Alec Baldwin.”
Baldwin, known for his illustrious career on stage and screen, has recently garnered attention for his uncanny ability to discharge deadly projectiles in unexpected and often tragic circumstances. USOC officials believe that these skills, honed over years of dedicated practice, make him an ideal candidate for the Olympic shooting team.
“I’m thrilled to be given this opportunity to represent my country,” Baldwin said in a statement. “I’ve always been a patriot, and I believe that my unique skill set can help bring home the gold. Plus, it’ll be a great way to get out of the house.”
While some critics have questioned the wisdom of recruiting an individual with such a checkered history, USOC officials remain steadfast in their belief that Baldwin is the best man for the job. They argue that his past experiences will only serve to make him a more focused and determined athlete.
To prepare for the rigorous demands of Olympic competition, Baldwin will be undergoing an intensive training regimen that includes firearms safety courses, anger management therapy, and media training.
The USOC hopes that by adding Baldwin to their team, they can finally break the country’s long-standing Olympic shooting drought and restore America’s reputation as a global powerhouse in the sport.
“We’re confident that Alec will be a tremendous asset to our team,” said McAllister. “And if nothing else, he’s sure to provide some unforgettable entertainment for the world.”
