10/30/2004: Young bin Laden in Sweden



A REPEAT on IotD! I figured this one was old enough and interestingly relevant enough to bring it out again. IotD first featured this on September 24, 2001, and the recent bin Laden tape just having been verified as legit, it becomes oddly relevant. On the tape, bin Laden says in his opening,

Quote:
Security is an important foundation of human life, and free people do not squander their security, contrary to Bush's claims that we hate freedom. Let him tell us why we did not attack Sweden, for example.
Here's why: Osama vacationed there as a kid, and seemed to enjoy it pretty much, along with his remarkably modern, Western, colorful, non-female-repressing, pink-caddy-driving, ugly-tie-wearing family, in the year 1971. He was 14, and boy it must have seemed like a great time. You don't mess with memories like that by bombing them.

Why does that remind me of this?



xoxoxoBruce  Saturday Oct 30 05:44 PM

I'll bet that kid in the purple suit and shades, sitting on the roof, became a terrorist.



Brianna  Saturday Oct 30 07:45 PM

I think I waited table for that family one morning at IHOP. IIRC they were super-picky about the food and shitty tippers, too.

And just how the heck did you figure that out? There's hardly any car to be seen for the Bin-Ladens! (okay, I do know there's enough there to be identifiable, but I guess I just expected that Bruce would be the one to do it).

I looked at the original IotD thread.

I was pretty sure that it wasn't a Caddy, but I thought it was a Ford Galaxie 500.


Elspode  Sunday Oct 31 10:58 AM

Anybody else think it is creepy that there are two signs in that window behind them that read "FYND"? That's awful close to the "FDNY" you saw sprouting up everywhere after 9-11 (Fire Department of New York) in honor of the fallen public servants.



Brown Thrasher  Sunday Oct 31 11:09 AM

Maybe it's just me, but the guy on bin Ladens riight looks just like a young Saddam.
Could they be distant cousins. I don't like some of my cousins either, which I'm sure is a mutual feeling. I know this is absurd!!!!!!!!!!

But come to think of it, who actually killed JFK?????



Leah  Sunday Oct 31 04:32 PM

He was ugly then but my god even uglier now, (if that is ever possible to become uglier). God there are some ugly people in both those photo's, they were all hit with the ugly stick at birth.



Brianna  Sunday Oct 31 05:18 PM

Yeah, Leah--I always thought Osama was the ugliest man I'd ever seen. In the photo it looks like he's wearing a nice dangling earring. He's ugly AND a crossdresser. Betcha he's got girlie panties on under those cobalt blue bell-bottoms.



Leah  Sunday Oct 31 05:20 PM

I'm sure he has.

Probably ALL cousins, if not brothers. You may find the killer in this image. If he didn't kill JFK, he most likely killed someone. Hell- he may have even shot JR.......................
The photographer should have moved young bin laden & his "cousin" a little to the right. ( To hide the fact that they hadn't yet had enough time to steal the hubcap for the left rear wheel ). Must be a hot item in Sweden.

its like Sweeeden there! Sweeeeeeeden!



York  Monday Nov 1 02:48 AM

Is that all in the family? Or are the guys already doing some pimpin' over there?



mmmBoy  Monday Nov 1 12:00 PM

He definitely put the GRRRR back in Groovy World Terrorist, baby!

Yeah, I'm sure that's it. Too bad New York's board of tourism couldn't have convinced the bin Laden's to visit back in the 70s. All of this could have been prevented!



Cyber Wolf  Monday Nov 1 12:31 PM

I wouldn't deny that's a family picture...every last one of them has the exact same nose! I mean look at it. You can't miss it! The only exception is the girl on the far left in the purple pants. Her nose doesn't match. She seems a bit out of place in that photo.



wolf  Monday Nov 1 01:44 PM

Recessive gene, resulting from infidel invader who got lost during 2nd Crusade, no doubt.
