Have you seen the shape of OBL’s head? He looks like ET! Huge on top; thin, bizarre-looking chin and jawline.
I don’t what you women think sometimes.
Now Al Gore, on the other hand. With the new beard? C’mere, Tiger …
Yosemitebabe, the Mel Brooks film you spoke of was The Producers with Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder and the song was Springtime for Hitler.
I’m sure you can find more info on it since it’s either playing now or is slated to in the near furure, ironically, on Broadway.
How about that Zero Mostel? Is it just me or does anyone else think he’s hot?
No, it wasn’t that movie. I know of that film, it was made in the ‘70s, I believe. (And yes actually, it’s a good example of mocking Nazis too.) But the music video I saw was for the movie To Be or Not To Be" With Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft. I’ve never seen the film, but I remember Brooks’ comments about the “tasteless” elements to the music video.
No. I am sorry, I have weird tastes, but Zero just does…welll, zero for me. [sub](Sorry, I had to.)[/sub]
This is the most blatant case of penis envy on record.
Assuming he and other fanatics are willing to die for their cause, I’m here to help.

More support for Lucky. Channel your aggression in more constructive directions, kids. I once posted on a “disturbing things you find sexy” thread that I thought SS uniforms were very well tailored and I could see why those men in uniform would be compelling and charismatic but I did not get this sort of reception. I guess that particular mass-murder has already met its expiration date for concern.
And once again, Bin Laden has been responsible for a lot of things, but it still has not been proven that he is definitely involved with this particular mess, and by focussing on him so quickly in our desperate need for a target for our hate (and in order to prove that we are individually up on current events, as we all already know HIS name), we may be overlooking other very deserving suspects. I’m not saying he’s innocent; I’m saying we have tunnel vision right now. Perhaps some perspective, even if it is as ill-considered as Lucky’s, might help.
Are you fucking nuts?
Well Lucky, I’m coming out to support you. I personally don’t think that Mr. bin Laden is much of a looker, but when I sent this thread to some friends, both my mother and my girlfriend told me that they agreed with you. They also said that he had nice eyes. So it’s not just you.
Tenebras
Well, in the end I guess he is a remarkably meek and gentle-looking man for someone who has called for the extermination of all Americans.
'Course, out of uniform Heinrich Himmler looked like a file clerk…
This could also go in the reverse-someone you may not find attractive physically at all, but you still love because they are a good person.
If Lucky’s point was to call attention to the fact that mass murderers do not look like we would expect them to, it was a point poorly made. She came across as a poodle in heat, panting at the thought of getting into his pants if only he wasn’t into that icky murder stuff. She has all the depth of a puddle in a parking lot. Her complete lack of empathy is simply astonishing. If you brush her hair back from her head the words “Inflate to 50 pounds” are clearly visible. Sure she expected to get flamed for starting this thread, but it apparently didn’t cross the airspace of her mind that it might be justified.
We are still pulling bodies out of rubble. I see nothing light hearted or humorous about it. And to those that do, picture the faces of those who have lost loved ones upon reading this thread.
Humor may help us heal our wounds, but offering praise to the one who inflicted them is simply contemptible.
Oh for the love of God. Stop trying to turn this all into something so sacred that we arn’t allowed to think or speak critically about it. That is the side of ignorance, folks. You know, the side we are fighting against?
Lucky, thanks for the funniest thing I’ve heard all week, and for the thought that it provoked once I stopped laughing.
Zero’s got it goin’ on, but he’s no Vic Tayback. Ooh, Mel Sharples with that voice and the hat, drives the women insane with lust.
Well, he did manage to convince about twenty men, several of them at least smart enough to pilot a plane, to sacrifice themselves in a giant mid-air fireball. He’s certainly got something goin’ on. I think its the beard.
One evil handsome guy that comes to mind is Reinhard Heydrich (The Hangman of Prague) - his military career was ruined by his chronic womanizing, so he ended up becoming a nazi thug. I have no opinion on whether he was good looking or not, but he was supposedly a great charmer and a ladies man…and a total asshole.
I still think the OP is in very poor taste, but I think we live in a culture where we like to think of handsome heroes and ugly villans. That’s not always true.
Amen to that. How about everyone shelving their fucking pissiness for now so they have some left over when something really important comes along.
Because people seem to have a problem differentiating between “important” and “joke” (a subset of “not important”), please allow Sneeze to give you the breakdown.
September 11, 2001 - important.
What is that black thing in my juice? - unnerving, but unimportant
Aftermath of September 11, 2001 - important
Who shat in the hat? - good to know if you are into headgear, but comparitvely - unimportant
Finding Osama bin Laden and preventing him from doing this sort of thing again - very important
Joke on message board - maybe tasteless, but - unimportant.
Save the flames for the guy who deserves them.
Is what I would do anyway. If something like this puts you in such an extreme state of outrage than your madmeter is clearly out of wack. Grab a perspective wrench and go fiddle with it before posting any more flames.

Lucky, there’s a psychiatric term for this. Unfortunately, I don’t know it, but it happens when someone is bombarded with images, and if those images are tied to something that’s so horrific as to be mesmerizing. Unpleasant but true: sometimes notorious criminals with a lot of media exposure get admiring letters from women. At least, I’ve heard this regarding David Berkowitz, and Ted Kascyinski (hey, he’s got that cozy cabin in the woods!).
When I was a teenager, our house had the occasional mouse (our property adjoined a cornfield). I was the designated dead-mouse-thrower-outer, and I was able to do it without trauma by convincing myself that the mice were cute. I would pat their soft fur and marvel at their tiny little ears as I carried them to the trash. I did this because I knew that if I thought of what I was carrying as distasteful, I couldn’t do it.
So maybe this is the only way Lucky can deal with seeing ObL’s photo everywhere: by convincing herself that he’s appealing.
jinwicked: Arafat’s the one with the checkered dishcloth.

I’m having two reactions to this, cycling around and around in my head:
Sick, sick, sick.
and
What Rilchiam said. Because this situation is so horrible, our brains try every avenue possible to alleviate the overload, which sometimes results in some truly bizzare thoughts. We can’t live for too long on a steady emotional diet of horror, shock, rage, and sadness, even though that’s what the situation (rightly) causes. It does weird things to us.
It’s called ‘compartmentalization’. We almost HAVE to separate off the tragedy into one part of our brain and use another part for every day living and less-important matters. If we didn’t, we’d go crazy–it’s just too much. And along the way, some of the excess mental energy goes into random thoughts like the OP’s.
If I try to juxtapose the two thoughts “Five thousand people were brutally murdered this week” with the OP post I get physically sick. You notice I can’t even actually type the two sentences together.
But another part of my brain can deal with just the OP topic. Earlier this evening, I found myself scrutinizing that photo of his circulating around the Net, trying somehow to figure out what the goddam &%4@*! is going on behind that face. I don’t blame Lucky for having this thought. Even though it was in very, very bad taste.
I read an article in our local paper about people’s reactions to the attacks, and a psychologist said, “It’s not our reactions that are abnormal, it’s the event that’s abnormal.” It is normal to have bizzare things occur to us in the midst of overwhelming tragedy. And part of the healing is talking to each other about what we are thinking.
But someone please put a huge red flag on this topic: DO NOT READ if you have friends or relatives at WTC!!
HEy, look at Rasputin-he was pretty attractive to women, in a perverse sort of way. It’s that macabre aspect, I think.
Oh fuck off. Lucky has every right to post what she did and I have every right to think her a dipshit for posting it. My opinion that she’s an insensitive shit is in no way ignorant. Prove otherwise or spend your time more wisely trying to eradicate your own ignorance about where your head is.
I think it was his 14-inch penis.
