somewhat surprised ilx users aren't really bothered about his death

it's like he meant nothing to them

It's really sad, his name wasn't Moammar Lohan

bothered? it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that this is how he was gonna go out

xp "Oh no, someone's taking a picture of me standing next to a despotic dictator." thinks Gadgafi

or Gaddafi, even

Gadgafi is in fact the Middle East's premier Gaddafi tribute act.

Also GADGAF is an open tuning popular with experimental musicians.

this is the greatest day of colin quinn's life

I know the man is dead and all, but did anyone read that when the guy got hair implants or plastic surgery or both or whatever, he refused to be put under or take any drugs that would put him out of it? That's hardcore Bond villain stuff.

twitter's perfect for Colin Quinn, he doesn't have to worry about actually saying his jokes correctly

"jokes"

from my friend's fbook:

This is why I hate people...the conversation of the people behind me on the walk home
Man 1 (reading sign): "Who's Cad Faddy?"
Man 2: "He was the guy who wore those shirts with Africa on them. He must have been the president of Africa."
Man 1 "Oh, that makes sense"

THAT MAKES SENSE

guys i know you're having fun and all but there are plenty of threads where you can get cheap lols at gadaffi's expense. this thread is actually a funeral.

even i was like, "who IS cad faddy?" and now i can't stop laughing thinking of these guys w/ thick brooklyn accents saying that shit.

not cause hed have any real world-historical revelations but im sure he could embarrass the cia

Yeah, like that takes some work.

You mean it hasn't been shown endlessly from every angle and at every speed on the hour every hour like it has been on British TV?

i haven't seen it. i'm gonna try v. hard not to see it. fuck the guy, but snuff vids are pretty easy to avoid imo

Whatever. What's with the holier-than-thou attitude about not watching the vids? Wow, I applaud you, you are so moral.

wasn't saying that at all, just that they're pretty easy to avoid. morality is bollocks, but dancing in dogshit and then complaining that yr shoes smell is stupid

sorry if i made you feel bad tho. your display name reminds me of tony blair so i guess we're even.

You didn't make me feel bad, just slightly annoyed. I think it's important to see the vids so one can be better informed as to what went down. So I pat you on the back. Good for you for not watching them.

oh well if it's my duty to watch them i'll get cueing

i watched them to inform myself what went down, got a badge and two bumper stickers

it's important to inform yrself what went down at first hand in case you have to sit on the inquest jury

I don't know what the hell's going on when a guy saying that he doesn't want to watch footage of a human being being brutally murdered gets a sarcastic "good for you, Mother Theresa."

If you want to watch it, fine, it's up to you, but the impulse to avoid seeing it is the most basic human revulsion to death and suffering, not a holier-than-thou affectation.

More like Father Tiresias imho

I only brought it up because someone upthread was mocking some dudes laughing at the vids as being all ugh, when my thought is, geez, who wants to watch this shit, period? Because I'm sorry, there's nothing to be gained from watching Qaddafi get shot except seeing Qaddafi get shot. And if someone needs to see a barbaric beheading video to truly understand how barbaric beheadings are, then that's fucked up.

Michael are you implying i've got moobs?

I saw the video and it was kinda hard to tell what was going on mostly

wait for the director's cut maybe

I saw the video and it was kinda hard to tell what was going on mostly

Qaddafi gets killed, apparently.

SPOILER!

it would probably a lot more harrowing if I understood what was being said.

most of what is being said is cries of "god is great!" the rest is pretty unintelligible.

lol, joke's on them

god is great
he brings us the chocolate cake

i don't doubt that these dudes actually think god is great, whatever that might mean, but it's also true that the phrase "god is great" is pretty boilerplate "hells yeah!" rallying cry in the muslim world.

it's also true that the phrase "god is great" is pretty boilerplate "hells yeah!" rallying cry in the muslim world.

Indeed, but change the fucking record can't youse? Also, I wish they'd interview people in Arabic and translate it rather than expecting people to who can't speak very good Engish to be able to express themselves adequately.

british reporters?

Really clear video:

Maybe they were trying to remember the middle-8 of Sheryl Crow's "One of us"

Michael are you implying i've got moobs?

Bad pastiche pun based on Theresa and not seeing.

Really clear video:

Youtube... children won't never see a breast here, but this is kind of video is ok...
McPhran 9 minutes ago

Bodies of Gaddafi supporters 'found executed' in Sirte

I mean I'm sure they were all horrible people but c'mon, get a grip transitional authority.

timing is everything

get a grip transitional authority.

'Cause that would be so easy?

No, of course not. I was being flip in the face of depressing and wholly predictable news, sorry.

the only context under which I can even begin to understand the mindset behind the "stop whining" argument of ppl like the 53% tumblr* is when I read stuff like this; things are fucked up here and some changes are in order but I'm very, very happy we don't have roving mobs killing our leaders and their supporters in the streets (and hotels)

* the ones that aren't bad photoshops, anyway

xp Although I would like to hear some condemnation from the interim gov instead of platitudes and "hey men you can now marry as many women as you like". But I'm willing to give them a day or two to catch up.

that's #occupy stage three

Also, nice try here by the interim leadership.

Abdul-Jalil raised a new possibility on Monday, suggesting that Gadhafi could have been killed by his own supporters to prevent him from implicating them in past misdeeds under his regime.

"Let us question who has the interest in the fact that Gadhafi will not be tried. Libyans want to try him for what he did to them, with executions, imprisonment and corruption," he said. "Free Libyans wanted to keep Gadhafi in prison and humiliate him as long as possible. Those who wanted him killed were those who were loyal to him or had played a role under him, his death was in their benefit."

So you see it's not only NV who hasn't watched the video.

way to get a good start on this whole democracy thing libya.

this is definitely the clearest video that i've seen so far, also w/ some subtitles

http://youtu.be/oHg5SJYRHA0

lol i have NO IDEA how that link happened

anyway

http://youtu.be/oHg5SJYRHA0

i'm surprised that rick astley was even in libya let alone had anything to do with gadaffi's death. way to get yourself back in the news cycle.

way to ruin the roll

It gets worse

How far the internet has come in 10 years that videos like that are now in newspapers and not just on Ogrish.com.

The Daily Star went back to it's glory days with "Gaddafi found to be a woman" story the other day. Apparently, one of his aides was quoted as saying "whadda calamity! I could have hadda da sex with her!"

See, to me this highlights the major failing with the press: If the story published is blatant lies, the only way a complaint can be raised is by the people affected, and they have to prove some sort of loss (of face, of money, of whatever). Whereas, if the story affects nobody directly apart from a lot of people believe what they were told, nothing needs to be done.

(I think the paper is back to the usual "girl ties her shoelaces" front pages)

http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/10/gaddafi-wrote-song-for-rice-black-flower-in-the-white-house.php

"What was going through my head was 'How long do I have to sit here and how quickly can I get out of here?' You know, it was funny because when he said, 'I have a video for you,' I thought, 'Oh my goodness, what is this going to be?' But it was actually just a bunch of pictures of me with Vladimir Putin, me with Hu Jintao," Rice tells ABC News' George Stephanopoulos in an interview planned for next week. "And then he said, 'I have Libya's best composer, most famous composer write this song for you,' and it was called 'Black Flower in the White House.'"

I have an idea for the next ILX song project.

why would you use "gaddafi" in the URL and "qaddafi" in the body of the article? that's what's really creepy about this story
