A North Texas radio station is using Osama bin Laden as a marketing tool. Talk radio station KLIF-AM has sparked some controversy by erecting about 20 billboards around the Dallas-Fort Worth area that feature bin Laden.

Featured with him in some of the signs are jailed former Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein and the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Those say "Two down, one to go." The signs with bin Laden alone say "Some people want you dead."

On that score, he's apparently succeeded. The station has received hundreds of e-mails and phone calls commenting on the signs. Bason says the comments are split between positive and negative.

One of the billboards was erected above the Texas Hereford Association's building. Association manager Jack Chastain was not amused. "I'm a strong Republican and a strong Bush supporter," he said. "But I'd like to believe we're above that. I'd like to think we have more class. That looks to me like it's low-class." Bason was unrepentant. "We knew some people would be offended by them. But they prefer to ignore the facts of the world we live in these days," he said.
