    I see it coming: “EXTRA! EXTRA! Porn made Osama evil!”

  • brillow

    I always find it disturbing when the Serious Media refers to pornography as “porn.”

    Sounds so unprofessional.

    • Anonymous

      That’s the point. Marginalize something that isn’t a part of what society considers openly acceptable.

    Sexually explicit porn is my favourite kind of porn, too!

  • Anonymous

    Gotta love a news website that has two articles on the same page:

    “Bin Laden’s house yields largest cache of intel”
    and
    “Osama’s house had a locker of porn”.

    I can only imagine, so what will we find out?

    Debbie DOES do Dallas?

    Propaganda Found in Press Release. World Reacts with Disbelief.

    Yea? AND a fridge full of bacon?! He fed it to his pet dog?!?!

  • Anonymous

    Reminds me of that fake video that showed that Saddam was a gay pedo!

    Some girls with burqas showing the ankles??? :D

  • Tim

    I prefer my porn to be sexually implicit.

  • jim.cowling

    What they haven’t reported is that the porn stash consists of thousands of well-composed photos of womens’ ankles.

  • Anonymous

    The material is so obscene, they only provided drawings : http://img01.lachschon.de/images/SiMean-1096026822.jpg

    he wasnt the toughest muslim fundamentalist by a long shot anyway. all the times he commited haram by portraying himself in videos etc.

    but its interesting how we can now make fun and humilate this person who most of the westerned world played up to be the devil incarnate until just a few days ago.

  • Anonymous

    Actually to me it seems to me that most probably one of the Navy Seals just wanted to get rid of his porn and took the opportunity.

    Later on they might also find a lot of alcohol plus several other drugs. Oh yeah, not to forget his diary.

    “September 11th, 2001 – Dear Diary, today I blew up the twin towers of the WTC…”

    “May 2nd, 2011 – Dear Diary, today was a lousy day. I died.”

    CNN would post this as doubtless evidence he did it and he died. Most people will believe it.

  • voiceinthedistance

    It’s the Farrah Fawcett poster over the bed that I can’t seem to get out of my mind. That, and the fact that he had the show Dallas committed to heart.

  • mn_camera

    Did he have a pornograph to play it on?

  • MrJM

    Titles included “Bare Throat,” “Behind the Green Burqa,” “The Great Satan in Miss Jones” and “Debbie Does The Federally Administered Tribal Areas.”

  • Galoot

    If the idea behind releasing this story (if there was an idea behind it other than ratings) was to further demonize him, it didn’t work. Millions of young men now relate to him.

  • Gutierrez

    Is the White House going to release pictures?

    • petertrepan

      I was going to post something, but you have already won this thread.

      zing!

  • pencilbox

    Hey, that link just takes me to CNN. *Not* what I was expecting.

  • knoxblox

    Meh.

    Our survivors are going to find porn stashes when many of us die, unless there’s a contingency plan in place.

    • David Pescovitz

      That was kinda my point.

      • knoxblox

        Whomever the porn belonged to, it would have been embarrassing if it was being utilized when it all went down.

        I’m fairly sure Seal Team 6 didn’t knock before entering.

  • Anonymous

    Is this poor grammar? It reads like the the porn led to his death! hehe

    “Pornography was found in a raid of Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan last week that led to his death”

    And the end of the day you guys, the supposed ‘good guys’ wacked an un-armed man without a trial and continue to murder people from drone. Where is the honour in that. You’ve become the evil you were trying to defeat.
