Oh look, another Osama tape....(yawn)
Remember when those Osama tapes were a big media event? Now nobody even pays any attention to the latest message from the dead or alive Osama, the supposed perp of nine eleven.

Have you ever seen a more ridiculous situation?

1. The tapes serve little purpose
except to give Shrub something to say.

Osama says "Do X,Y,Z".

Shrub says "DO NOT do X,Y,Z".

It's a simple game to provide topicality for a simpleton's talking points.

2. People are used to digital and reject video, the DEAD medium.

Why are they so DEAD set against new technology?

Maybe if they computerize the image of OBL and put him somewhere in the next version of Grand Theft Auto? :shrug:

3. Let's face it ...
Bin Laden may or not be alive but artistically he is certain dead. Another "Death to the infidel" rap, just like his last tape. Yawn ... mebbe George needs a new sock puppet?

11. As a sock puppet himself,
I don't know if George gets to make a choice like that.

5. If Osama would only hold today's paper in a photo, we'd know.
If he were really alive. Why don't he do that?!?!? Any punk with photoshop could do it.

7. Or at the very least some Pips.
And most big name acts surround themselves with backup dancers and slick coreography when they lip sync.

8. Just compile his best stuff, "Ossama's Greatest Hits"
set it to music. He can threaten our lives to a hip-hop beat.
The rumor is already out that he is dead. This will be a best seller!

Al Queda is shooting themselves in the foot by not going Mo-Town on our asses!

9. My fave was the Halloween/pre-election 04 video tape.
Man, I could listen to that forever and never tire of it.

10. When oh when will these tapes get a release on DVD?
The first season was might scary, then it seems as if his writers started repeating themselves. I look forward to the Director's Cut and blooper outtakes.
