Wait, what?

Osama bin Laden enters global warming debate

Apparently speaking in his second audio broadcast of the month, Bin Laden criticised George W Bush, the former US president, for not signing the Kyoto Protocol on regulating carbon emissions, and spoke out against excessive corporate influence in the United States.

He also presented himself as an opponent of government bail outs to western banks, whose speculation and unfair competition practices, he claimed, were largely to blame for the global financial crisis.

\"When those perpetrators fall victims to the evil they have created, the heads of state rush to rescue them using public money,\" he said.

I, um... wait, um, huh?

Wut?

Hell yeah he's concerned. Dude lives in a hot cave. Any warmer and he'll singe his little beard.

Oh... boy.

So someone's found a way to fake Bin Laden tapes?

Does he have wildly varying inflections?

"Greetings AMERICAN infidels! I shall BURY YOU under your own greed!"

I guess he made this tape after hearing that Fox News is hiring.

heh. I guess since he is "losing" members, maybe the terrorist is trying to recruit different type of terrorist? or gain support from other anti-american people?

Or maybe just because he resorts to acts of violence against civilians doesn't mean he's a saturday morning cartoon villain, but has actual political goals.

With those views on global warming I rather think he's going after MSNBC.

Inconceivable.

Foment chaos within out political system is part of his agenda. By coming out with these statements, he knows he can cause dissent (Fox news may very well be the target with this- Bin Laden has liberal values, Bin Laden is Liberal, Liberals are terrorists). I just hope our media is smart enough not to take the bait.



Stop laughing.

It's not the laughing, it's the face-palming I can't stop.

With any luck, Bill O'Reilly will crack his spine from the instant hard-on...

I know someone will run with it. I just don't know who yet.

If he is trying to cause dissent, he kind of shot himself in the foot by saying he wanted to stop global warming, but also that he's against the bailouts. The democrats would support what he said about global warming, and the republicans would support what he said about bailouts, so if either side tries to make the other look like terrorists because Osama supports one of their agendas, The other side will be able to completely jump on them and make them look like complete idiots.

I'm guessing that both Democrats and Republicans realize this, so they won't try to gain support by associating the other party with Osama's words.

I don't really pay much attention to them, so I guess don't know how dumb they can get. I'm sure they're dumb enough to run the old "Osama Supports them, so they're a terrorists" fallacy, but you don't have to rub too many brain cells together to realize that that argument doesn't work when Osama supports YOU in the same video.

I wouldn't put it past those two guys to promote their agendas at the expense of the nation of a whole. But to promote their agendas when there is so obviously no way for it to NOT come back to bite them is one of the dumbest things possible.

Are you telling me I need to lower my faith in humanity even lower? Because I thought it was already at rock bottom.

Thank God, I was starting to wonder if I was the only one who viewed those two both in the same light.

I give him 1 kudo for admitting he's been over the top. he has a lot of kudos to go before leveling up.

If he did maybe he could have a shot of getting near Beck's ratings. All these guys are just clowns who put on shows for ratings. You think Beck doesn't know that? That he hasn't carefully cultivated every little thing he does to entertain his audience? You might hate him, I personally loathe him, but he's brilliant and now very, very rich because of it.

And as we know, being rich is the most important thing in America.

And everywhere else

Really? I would think a lot of people would just like to know they'll be able to eat tomorrow.

Doesn't that happen in America too? What I meant is that, sadly, in many societies having more than the rest, be it material riches or respect, is viewed as the ultimate goal in life.

Don't mind me, I almost don't know what I'm saying.

What, did you guys miss his last video a couple years ago when he encouraged people to convert to Islam because sub-prime mortgages wouldn't be allowed in a Muslim theocracy and personal savings are encouraged?

I'm not joking.

THAT IS EXCTLY WHAT I SAID.

Either that or "don't trust people whose sole interest in you is making money off you" but probably the first thing.

I DIDN'T DISAGREE WITH YOU.

Sheesh.

Sorry, it just looked like you were saying that was my point, which I would be horrified if anyone thought.

IS THE ALL CAPS THING A THING?

I WANT IT TO BE A THING.

It may be a thing.

Fuck yessss a thing.

Get your thing off my face, dammit.

Say, it's really been a few months since anyone's mentioned that, hasn't it? Wow, I think we've actually finally gotten past it, over a year down the line.


....Dammit. ;-)

Let's get back on topic here people. Osama Bin Ladin is a hippie. A damn dirty hippie. And he's starting a drum circle. And if we don't stop that drum circle? Pretty soon it will be a music festival and then god help us all.

...We can try to arrest him at Woodstock Middle-Asia?

But they all look the same, with their beards and hats... The only solution is to nuke everywhere.

We have to get near the center of the festival to hurt them. We're going to need some kind of drilling machine so we can drill our way through the smelly crowds. Any other way would be suicide.

We should modify this:

We are gonna need a black guy who can go outside in case we have any problems. Volunteers?

do we HAVE any black guys on this forum? I haven't seen any in the picture thread, last time I checked.

Of course you haven't.

Do you know how intimidating this place is to a guy like myself?

Vagoo is half black half mexican. That means he's a brother who's half my brother.

And he has a gun that shoots knives.

He's being sarcastic about being intimidated, obviously.

I remember a black dude from Halfpixel. I can't remember the username, though I can see his avatar in my head. I can't recall if he made it over.

The guy who plays me in my imagination movies is a 7ft tall bald black dude. Does that count?

We had a black dude on the PVP/image forum. HYPNOTRON. He was batpoop crazy. Like, imagine Invader, but liberal beyond belief, extremely paranoid and crazy as a loon.

Gruebeard magicked away his post before we could make fun of it

Quick! I need a post that sums up my thoughts on the post-racial discussion on humor and race relations in the divided political times we live in. It needs to have a dark sense of humor and reference South Park and "The Color Purple".

Sorry chief. Juski just changed into blue tights as though none of us could see and jumped out the window, also as though no one could see.


I think Juski is Superman.

Can I take a shot at that?

I really miss him sometimes.... but my aim is getting better.

To those of us who have only been here since Halfpixel, Hypno is more of a mythical beast that the admins use to scare us if we don't eat our vegetables.

I remember Hypno. He got a little...shrill. Those old image-board political threads got a bit Wild West when he was around.

I move to add GB's horatio smiley to the board repertoire!

Seconded!
