1504 Widows 3.0

It was interesting to note some of the sidebars to the whole death of Osama thing. First, there was the stash of internet porn. Leading to the excruciating pun that Osama was Laden with porn. But that only worked as a written pun, since Laden and laden are spelled the same. Like Polish and polish.
Then there was the apparent contradiction between him blasting the west for bad morals and his own lonely time spent with a keyboard, a mouse, and a laptop.
Living in a high-tech cave has its temptations and its frustrations. Ask any comment troll still living in his mom's basement. Interesting to note how Bin Laden was not unlike a troll. Locked inside a dark house, never leaving to associate with other people, sending out inflammatory comments to the rest of the world.
Osama bin Laden, Terrorist and Troll.
But what struck me the most was this one article I read that said he had three grieving widows. Or as Bill Gates would put it, Widows 3.0. And that shows the hazards of saying which culture is the culture of the evil Satan. Osama didn't like the corruptness of the west. But here he was pursuing the virtues of traditional marriage—with three women.
Polygamy is considered quite evil in the west. In fact, it is righteously condemned by most fundamental Christians, although it's quite clear it was practiced in the Old Testament.
Maybe because with divorce prominent in the west too, there are nomenclature problems. I have three ex-wives. When I die, are they my three ex-widows? And if they're my ex-widows, am I alive again?
But back to Osama. Three wives and porn?
Some people need to get out more.
Comments anyone?
America, ya gotta love it.
