Osama bin CGI?
Here's the beginnings of a rumor from the World Wide Weird that will hopefully be quelled quite early - the video tape of Osama Bin Laden was actually made using hi-tech CGI... While I'd admit that the video could be done that way, I don't think we've quite reached the point where we could dub an audio match. So, unless the entire Justice Department is in league with the present administration (if you just went, "well, yeah!" please take a nap now), there's a pretty good chance that it was a righteous video.

Hey, the two aren't mutually exclusive - the entire Justice Dept. CAN be in league with the current administration while the video IS actually Bin Laden.... or could be someone dressed up as Bin Laden and actually somewhere in West Virginia... or could be someone presenting themselves as Bin Laden and actually in Yemen, or Pakistan, or Tahiti for that matter, keeping the fiction that Bin Laden is still alive so that recruits keep joining Al Quaeda.... if anyone wants more possible scenarios let me know. Conspiracies of all types are easy to create, as long as you don't need them to be real.

Ummm, his name is Osama Bin Laden - NOT - Usama Bin Laden. ;)

If we can do this then it's possible to synthezize Bin Laden's voice. I am not saying that it was done, just that it's possible.

Just so you understand, the DOD, the Pentagon, the Department of Homeland Security, the White House, the FBI, Fox News, the BBC, and many of the other news agencies have been using "Usama." Ever hear someone mention "UBL?"

Known aliases: Usama Bin Muhammad Bin Ladin, Shaykh Usama Bin Ladin, the Prince, the Emir, Abu Abdallah, Mujahid Shaykh, Hajj, the Director.

His proper name is Usamah bin Muhammad bin Awad bin Ladin.

You should have picked up on the use of "Laden" instead of "Ladin" as I espected someone would. Know your Muslim extremist terrorists!

Guy - look at our Google ads - political action figures? Please, let's keep this to CGI?

Hey, Alice, maybe that's a new story - unintended commentary from Google ads? Maybe it's the 21st century equivalent of a Freudian Slip - the Google-ad Slip.
