now i don't pretend to fully understand the international situation, but surely this is ludicrous!

This is the best thing ever. FEAR THE POWER OF THE INTERWEB MACHINE!

many apologies for boring repetition of material. obviously my ILE reading hasn't been up to scratch lately...

Ah, but you found something else new: notice the name of the print- shop bloke out East who's making posters? Mostafa Kamal - wtf (again)?

best careful-journalism touch in the BBC story = the phrase "the apparently benign children's TV character"

Also the Bert-is-Evil guy: "This is getting too close to reality…" *What* is?

repetition is not boring (I own the Steve Reich Box Set...), i was just doing a Nasty Nick D 'done before' impression

the apparently benign children's TV character

The "apparently" is really disturbing. It seems to imply the possibility that maybe Bert has completely misled us, and actually is in league with bin Laden.

Imagine the L song now.

"La, la, la...LADEN!"

Until recently, Dead Kennedy's "California Uber Alles" has been in my head with a new chorus...

" OSAMA BIN LADEN OSAMA BIIIIN LAAAADEEEEEN"..

And of course a readjusted version of a popular Henry Bellafonte song.. "Dear Mr. Taliban, please give-us bin laaaden"

Ha, has Killing Joke ever been on Sesame Street?

Bikini Kill were on Roseanne, so why not?
