Bin Ladens neice on reality t.v......am I the only one bothered by this?

It seems that the powers that be are making her out to be a celibrity, and by association, OBL is becoming a celeb. too. To me, there is just something wrong with this. What's your thoughts?

*cough*

Unless she has persian ancestry on her mother's side.

She may well only be a half niece.

stop insulting us Persians - OBL IS NOT ONE OF US

He has fifty brothers and sisters, if I remember right.

He probably has a thousand nieces.

Whatever she is, let her live her life, just because she is related to him doesn't mean there is anything to blame her for.

There is general confusion these days about the difference between notorious and celebrated.

Being related to a high-profile war criminal has its advantages.

the stigma of guilt by blood relation?

She's merely the daughter of one of dozens of siblings in the Bin Laden family. Why exactly should she be punished for the actions of her uncle?

Did you say the same thing about the Bush family relatives who came out against Dubya during the 2004 election?

Hope she has lots of bodyguards.

Are there two different reality shows, or is there a new one pitting the two against each other in a jello wrestling pit or something?

Oh...wait...Hitler's niece is featured as a model in a magazine spread.

I think it is just and extension of BushCo's making the illegal legal, and now the reprehensible acceptable. Bush wants to make sure Jenna and Babs still have career opportunities after he forced into exile.

rather than "ex-President". IOW, ALL news, all reality, all spheres of influence, are treated as just another "E" Channel program. So kings and concubines alike are "celebrities".

and then label her repeatedly as Osama's neice

it is a classic sex-and-violence marketing opportunity, irresistible for decadent capitalist corporate media.

I have no complaint with her. It is the marketing that is offensive.

:thumbsup:

Should it be his immediate family or everyone who is related? For how many generations should they be punished because they share some DNA?

Osama doesn't need his neice to get his face on television and is already a celebrity.

Granted the fem fatal of the late fascist leader is well a little moldy, but that won't stop our crack team of plastic surgeons from creating a nip and duck miracle!

"first we will start with the reconstruction of the, um, skull...face" said doctor Faceplant.

"The big challenge will be doing reconstructive boob surgery" stated doctor Asslift, "because, well, she has no boobs or skin or blood or any of those basics...yes, this will be the challenge of my career!"

Make sure to tune in to the final episode where we have Dr. Victor Frankenstein reanimate her.

Dr. Frankenstein, "vell, you know, it's been a vhile, but I think I can put a little juice back in her caboose!"

Every day this fall on fox!

I agree with the Paris Hilton comparison.
