Abbottabad-a-bing, Abbottabad-a-boom

We’re pretty damn proud of that headline. This story should get picked up by HotAir and WeaselZippers and those clowns over at iOwnTheWorld and every other website that appreciates genius headlines.

Hell, it’ll probably get us nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. Maybe even a Nobel Prize, because we’ve heard it’s pretty easy to win one of them these days.

Here you go. Gruesome Reuters photos of some of Osama Bin Laden’s henchmen after the Navy SEALS stopped in for a spot of tea.

(ABOVE) Note the high tech communication device in the upper left corner of the photo: Is that a tin can on a string?

  • My favorite quote (from @polarcoug on twitter): "There are nude photos of Rosie O'Donnell on the internet. Osama's dead mug could NOT be any more gruesome than that."

    • Nudes of Tokyo Rosie will bring more terrorist attacks from jihadi whackjobs. I would almost agree with them in a case like that, almost.

  • @DeanH Reputedly Bin Ladens photo has been reported as only having one eye, an empty eye socket, with brain matter visible through a bullet wound. So better get working with photoshop.

    • The pic does look good enough to post along with a credit to the movie it is from if only because the dead actor fits the bill very handily, IMO, missing left eye and all. No brains or real gore, though. Like it was cleaned up a lot, or was a movie set.

    • This don't look like that.

      I sent it to Ad and Ed. They should give it a discerning eyeballing and send it out either way. This, if it is real, is a practical and respectable shot. Like the picture of John Dillinger on the morgue table. No gore, really. A bit of apparent, not overtly obvious disfigurement. Angled from where it is, I don't know.

      I think the guys might let you have a look at it though. Ed and Ad, whadyasay? Phoney? Blame my brother. Real? Tell em it was DeanH and to be glad my dad screwed up my name on my birth certificate. He meant to say Deat, not Dean. So my name here would be ominous.

      Sam Adams Noble Pils is a darn fine beer and its gone, all gone.

  • Well, my sibling sent to me just a little while ago, a very real looking night vision image of what does indeed appear to be a clear image of usama dead laden. No joke here at all. Ran it from my very very persnickety iMac before putting it on my online PC. No bad stuff or hinky crap with it. Looks real enough. There is what appears to be a US soldier of some sort whose face I think may be too visible for me to think this could be a top secret thing and they have had a few days to whip up a believable fake by now. I'd send to Ed and Ad if they want. I guarantee its a clean file but that's as far as I'll go. I'd suggest it is more likely real than that birth certificate we've recently been handed.

    It's up to you guys. Ask and I'll send it. I haven't looked for it online cuz I'm not looking for trouble, but this came to me from my brother. He don't take no mess.

      • It has been explained to me that the picture I have (not yet distributed to every unsuspect dupe) of the deceased usama is a screen from the movie "Black Hawk Down". I cannot argue and why bother? I wish it had been the real deal, but I can wait for the show on the History or Military channel that shows it. When you've seen 100 emptied cranium pictures, they all start looking the same. One eye missing? Oh, well, never seen that before! J/b.s.ing

      • It really does look as good as any Steven Segal movie special effect. I know it is most likely a nice little piece of digital art, but it is fine work, by my lame estimation. They've had days to whip up a pic and there are people and their tools that absolutely can generate dupes - as in fakes with altered action - that really are virtually impossible to detect from real, for most everybody, for now at least, because this kinda stuff changes quickly.

        This is a still shot. Or maybe, just maybe, it is a totally fine example of Acrylic Conquistador on Velvet type shet. I looks real enough for me to wonder why dude who is supposed to be a super double top secret badass is so clearly visible. That makes me think kegger around the fire with a grill full of beef products and cool photographic equipment.

        Sam Adams Noble Pils is a fine beer and I am sorry to see my supplier run out!

  • I am still waiting for UBL or OBL's pictures... He made a bad choice by not presenting those pictures.

    Obama's victory lap on Ground Zero was disgusting.

  • Well, say what you want about the goat f*ckers, but if they were running the show, we would not be having homosexual marriage in NYS shoved down our throats. You know, "my enemies enemies are my friends." And if the gays would shut the f*ck and go and do their perversions in private, they might not be considered "enemies." Oh wait, they'd still vote Democrat so yeah, enemies.

    • To quote an actual band, Slayer, "World Painted Blood, No Sanctuary".

      At least for these bastards, it was true.

  • Getting shot in the head was to good for Mymama Bed Linen. And the photos are not too gruesome. SEALS 1 Taliwhackers 0.
    Long live the SEALS!

  • Nothing wrong with those pictures, I like seeing dead terrorists and want to see bin laden too. obama's worried about what the muzzies would think, screw em.

    • They should have filmed them cutting the body into bite-sized portions and feeding it to feral hogs...would have made a nice episode of Americas Funniest Home Videos.

      We shouldn't be worried about insulting the mooslims, we should be thinking up new ways to insult them daily.

  • I'd like to see a picture of OBL's stiff being thrown in a vat of pig guts. Ala Pershing in the Philippines.....end of problems there for a long time.
