U.S. official: Porn found in bin Laden compound
**Pretends to be watching CNN**
The U.S. military found a large cache of pornography in the hideout of Osama bin Laden, Reuters is reporting.
An unnamed U.S. official said the porn is an extensive collection of “modern, electronically recorded video.”
I’m not sure what they mean by “electronically recorded,” since I don’t know of a way to record video with some form of electronics. I think they mean the video was stored digitally.
It is not known if bin Laden himself watched the videos, or how the videos were obtained. The compound in Pakistan had no Internet connection, but did include TVs and video playback devices.
Three officials said it is “not uncommon” for Islamic militants to have porn collections.

To the feller that was explaining about the porn and going out to eat, etc., what did you order to eat? Did the poor guy blink a lot? Did he itch his palms a lot? Did he wear glasses? This is important: Did he choose the eatery? Did he claim to know the cook? The waiter? The owner of the establishment? Was the food good? How’d the beverage taste? Salty, bland, smelled of “wallpaper paste”? Let us know, please…

I wonder if obama bin laden likes softcore or bsdm or what. Maybe he has a kink fetish?

The CIA fellers are questionin his wives to learn about his habits. The big question is how often did he come to your bedroom. So far ever ones said the same thang. Shoot, I couldn’t keep him out from in front of that dadgum computer.

“to keep their sex drives low and decrease the risk of having homosexual activity with fellow soldiers”
Huh? I don’t care how long I was on the battlefield without the sight of a woman, turning brokeback mountain would never ever happen. Plus, isn’t pornography outlawed in the muslim world? Guess we can add another sin to Bin Laden’s tab.

Gee, without the internet to upload or download it, I guess he had to rely on Netflix subscribe by mail services.
