I dunno, his third album "Death to the Infidel" had some awesome stuff, even if the cover tune was lame and pedestrian.

*yawn*

no one cares anymore

He's a lot like 2Pac.

That's just one version of the translation. Another translation is "So long, and thanks for all the fish."

You know who else...

I quit listening when he went electric.

 
AngryDragon 2007-12-29 03:01:41 PM  
So, the US, Iraqis, and even our enemies acknowledge that we are winning hands-down. How long before CNN admits it?

 
Die_ Ubermensch 2007-12-29 03:01:44 PM  
I like what he's doing with the synth now. It's very eighties-retro.

I agree, though, this doesn't hold a candle to his old stuff

/i like your style, subby

FARK: What if Bin Ladin stopped releasing tapes and started releasing albums? (new window)

One of the best PS threads I ever took part in.


/shameless self-promotion

 
CalvinMorallis 2007-12-29 03:02:18 PM  
oi. Maybe this will be the one where he actually admits to doing it?


/covers head to avoid flames.

 
JamesDeSimas 2007-12-29 03:02:23 PM  
How do we even know this is Bin Laden?

I'm not trying to be a conspiracy theorist or anything, just asking.

His live performances sound nothing like the recorded versions

 
vonschiller 2007-12-29 03:02:35 PM  
Is this the underground shiat he did with Skam?

 
Osama bin Limbaugh 2007-12-29 03:04:00 PM  
Another saber rattling? Geesh. Someone needs to tell the state department/CIA/press/illuminati/whoever that if you cry wolf too often nobody listens. They need a new schtick.

Plus, he only lip-synchs now.

 
nekom [TotalFark] 2007-12-29 03:05:12 PM  
He jumped the shark years ago. I still have the box set from 2003, I'm not buying any of his newer stuff though. What a farking sellout.

 
Die_ Ubermensch 2007-12-29 03:05:39 PM  
Did you see the bit he did on SNL with Rick Astley? That was pretty sweet.

No, I'm not going to link it.

Everything after the Black Album has sucked.

I quit listening when he started adopting all those kids from africa, got all political and adopted the british accent.

Yep.
Prediction: He'll be doing a Vegas show in 10 years

 
Mugato [TotalFark] 2007-12-29 03:07:43 PM  
It's a good thing we're no longer concerned with him.

That or he'll be on dancing with the stars. hey, you know what I might actually watch that!

eqtworld: I hope our next president will make national security a priority, and catch or kill bin laden.

Catch or kill Bin Laden? He's one of the richest people in the world. Do you think the government is really even looking for him? Ha!

Paging "Mission Accomplished" Pic to the Osama thread... "Mission Accomplished" Pic to the Osama thread...thank you

 
Flashman73 2007-12-29 03:09:27 PM  
Some people like the younger, skinnier Bin Laden, but real fans prefer the older, fatter version with sequined jump suits...

 
ultraholland 2007-12-29 03:09:27 PM  
I heard he's teaming up with Sting.

In truth, we don't really know yet. We're just assuming that it's him because it sounds a lot like him and says the same sort of thing that he usually does.

In a few days, the intelligence agencies will have run a computerized voice analysis to see how exact of a match it is to earlier tapes. Sometimes they say that we can't really know its him for sure because the audio quality is so low.

Most likely it's real, there hasn't been a case yet where they said that it probably wasn't.

They really need to get a better boogeyman... people find this one far too amusing at this point, and he's not terribly effective anymore.

 
rocketcat 2007-12-29 03:10:56 PM  
just in time, after Benazir Bhutto said Bin Laden was killed in 2002, right before her assasination

 
LessO2 2007-12-29 03:11:32 PM  
Ever since he slept with Maddie, I stopped watching.

 
idrow 2007-12-29 03:11:35 PM  
The only article I want to read about this guy is the one detailing his long, slow, painful death.

 
ImFromSnohomish 2007-12-29 03:13:26 PM  
...and dignity

 
fireclown 2007-12-29 03:13:38 PM  
Hmm. No mention of the Bhutto assassination. And her being Shia at that. Wonder how long it takes for one of these to percolate to the surface.

 
Great Janitor 2007-12-29 03:14:21 PM  
Last week VH1 showed his Christmas Special from the 70s. Singing Christmas Carols on ice with the Village People. What really moved me, what actually made a tear in my eye was his moving duet with Marie Osman.

/it was on right before the infomercials

 
Mugato [TotalFark] 2007-12-29 03:14:34 PM  
I think he's been secretly replaced by Osama bin Sargeant.

 
merlotguy [TotalFark] 2007-12-29 03:15:03 PM  
He is such a Zappa poser.

 
Opus Dei and the Knights Templar 2007-12-29 03:15:23 PM  
I thought he said he'd never work with Al Queda's number two again. "farkin' hate him. I'll never work with him again." Something like that.

Or they could bring back an old one.

Silence!

 
Prank Call of Cthulhu [recently expired TotalFark] 2007-12-29 03:18:40 PM  
According to the CNN.com story, the tape's title is "The Way to Foil Conspiracies: On Iraq and the Islamic State."

Judging by the title, Osama's given up terrorism and is now trying to submit a master's degree thesis. Either that or bore us all to death.

I would pay a lot of money to see Osama in a professional wrestling match.

It would be about as real as anything else he's doing right now, and way more entertaining.

Osama bin Laden doesn't care about white people.

The real question is whether Barney is communicating with his little Mujahadden over the SAP channel again.
