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,
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?

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

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

Actually, that's a Chrysler Imperial.

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.

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.

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?????

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. :vomit:

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.

I'm sure he has. :p

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!

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