xd and Polaris: osama si liao arh?

after all this while, ive learned that opinions on certain taboo issues and should not be freely expressed. such taboo issues include: religion, ethnicity, certain controversial ideas, events, and individuals (eg. Holocaust, Hitler), and, of course, the good and flawless singapore white PAP gahmen.

but in this post we're going to touch on one of the above. we'll try to make it as politically correct as possible, though.

according to bbc, "The Saudi government has denied a French newspaper report saying France's secret services believe Osama Bin Laden is dead."

so, the big question: osama die already anot?

well, if he died, hooray and not hooray. hooray coz he's probably not able to do any more damage to this already scarred world, and not hooray coz he can never be brought to justice in a court trial. which is regretful.

but if he didnt die, bush is happy, coz he would be able to secure his position as the president because there is an enemy for the americans, an enemy who creates fear. and bush uses fear as a political tool, according to the LA compre.

but come to think of it, it couldnt have been fun to live as a fugitive for 5 years. bad food, poor shelter, bad living conditions. (he can't live in a normal city without risking getting identified, right? and it's not like everyone there totally support him. there are bound to be nosy american NSA agents. and probably some kiasu singaporeans who specially make their way into afghanistan to spot osama. "比中 4D 还要好 leh! 美金几百万 sia!")

another issue is that since the death of steve irwin, there hasnt been another nation-wide msn event. then, it was an irritating tortoise.

now, how about a emoticon in front of our nicks to celebrate/show our hopes for osama's death?

suggestions (type them out in an msn chatbox):

:) the yaye osama die liao symbol
(nah) the ram emoticon, "the closest thing available to msn that resembles osama"
:D the big grin smiley (yes, there is no link. for those who don't know what's going on.)
(tu) for the diehard steve irwin fan that believes stevie's death still owns osama's
(li)(ap) the aeroplane in a lightning storm emoticon (symbolising that osama's plans are doomed to fail) either that, or in rain or storm he's gonna fly a plane into another skyscraper.

and, like i said, we are not terrorist suspects and we don't worship or idolise osama. so please don't give us trouble, mr policeman. we want none.

P.S. this is probably the last boredlela post that involves xd and polaris before the assessment week. we will be going on a 3-week hiatus. we'll be back with our first podcast.

good luck for assesment week, guys.
