Bin Laden corpse photo is a fake

[friboy2791]

Yeah... the photo is fake, the DNA tests were lies, the raids were staged, the weird-looking compound in the middle of an Afghan city that we "raided"? it's really a movie studio owned by Disney... It's all a plot by Glen Beck and Jon Stewart (secretly working together!) to bring about mass murder across several countries, including, but not limited to: the USA, England, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, South Africa, and Japan.

It's all because the "moon landing" was faked... to cover up what we really found on the moon. Which one brave film director, Michael Bay, has discovered and is about to show us in June. Unless "they" get to him first...

Yes I am making fun of you. That's what you get for taking your news from a tabloid.

Too true.

What probably really happened is that some guy in the news wanted a picture to go with the article and since none was released, decided to make one of his own.
Newspapers do this often to make disasters seem worse than they actually are thus selling more papers. Sometimes the descriptive text under the picture even goes as far as confirming that either the photo has been doctored or that the subject(s)are posing to make it more dramatic. As every newspaper editor will tell you sex, scandals, and drama sell more papers.
In other words there is no conspiracy only a desire to sell newspapers/attract web traffic.

Besides, if he's dead that would quicken the end of the war, so your argument is invalid.

He's death changes nothing he didn't even do anything after 911 there are countless people who could easily take his place.

Although I agree with you that his death changes nothing the fact that im from London makes me have to disagree with the rest of your post.

Did you just call The Guardian a tabloid magazine?

Oh fucking wow.

Im guessing not everyone knows what the guardian is guy, do they print it outside the UK?

Could not have put the words better myself

Maybe, but the Daily Mail, another rag which ran the fake image and is cited in the article, certainly looks like one.

Yes it is, but that doesn't really equate to the OP getting his news from a tabloid...unless of course I've misread what you were saying and the "That's what you get for taking your news from a tabloid" was just referring to people who had taken the Mail story at face value and nothing to do with the preceeding sentence "Yes I am making fun of you." or the preceeding paragraph in which you were taking the piss out of his conspiracy theories.

Yeah, I really worded that badly, didn't I? I'll fix it.

It doesn't really matter to me if that particular photo is fake. What really matters is the DNA that proves he's dead.

I won't miss him a bit.

According to a recent New York Magazine article, DNA evidence confirms that Usama Bin Laden was indeed killed last night. However, a photo which has been circulating on the internet claiming to be the dead body of Usama Bin Laden, has been proven to be a composite of two different images. Does this reawaken anyone's belief that Bin Laden really died in 2001 and that this is just a cover-up to justify the war in Afghanistan?

Awwww. *puts pants back on*

/sarcasm

Who would want to see the photos anyway? Are we still that barbaric of a people? Also, I spell corrected his name for ya.

Nope. It just reawaken my belief that there are lots of assholes on the internet with Photoshop and free time.

Facepunch right there. Too many people on that website photoshop everything that see.

That news is like, 2 years old! It was first circulating in 2009 [http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:HhEh-2wPwVMJ:www.thepeoplesvoice.org/TPV3/Voices.php/2009/04/29/osama-bin-laden-believed-dead-by-pak-int+osama+bin+laden+believed+killed+by+pak+intel&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk&source=www.google.co.uk] and even then people were calling it out as fake XD It's only popped up again cos tabloids want something to stick on the front cover. Whole thing detracts from the more fun conspiracy theories - this one's a long-deadened horse.

I don't see how people missed this fact.

Yes the photo is fake, who the hell has been saying it was real? The government didn't release it or give any credit to it. Its an old photo that is clearly photoshopped and is irrelevant to whether or not Bin Laden is actually dead.

I'm sorry, I can't hold it in. All this talk of DNA Evidence [http://www.homestarrunner.com/DNA.html] reminds me of that bit from Homestar Runner!
