Osama Bin Laden - The Next Talking Head?
The latest Osama Bin Laden tape made me think of all the boneheads, scumbags and all-around schmucks we've let into the limelight and our living rooms. The Joey Buttafuocos, Victoria Gottis, Ryan Seacrests. Our society is so accepting, it made me wonder, could an evil terrorist like Osama Bin Laden get a free pass? Catching him seems out of the question, so maybe we just make him into a TV personality. He's obviously got the camera equipment. All he would need is some Western-ized duds and a satellite feed and he could be showing up on Crossfire, Real Time with Bill Maher and VH1's Best Week Ever. And the signature end to every piece would have the show's host or interviewer asking Osama, "I have to ask - where the hell are you? Cmon Osama - just a hint, just a hint."
