Some of the cable outlets are now reporting that among the treasure trove of documents and data taken from Bin Laden's compound was a fairly large stash of pornography. Is anyone seeing a pattern here?What is it with fanatical leaders and porn collections? Uday (or was it Qusay?) Hussein was reported to have a vast collection of porn and that little perv, Kim Jung Il in North Korea, is rumored to have the world's largest collection of porn (and nary a Korean "actress" in the bunch I'll bet). Even the grand daddy evil despot of all time, Adolph Hitler, was rumored to have a soft spot for some pornographic movies among his many proclivities.
So what is behind this pattern of "perversion"? Maybe these guys were just used to doing whatever they wanted and hey, if you just got done with a hard day of massacring your own people or starting a war, you may not be too concerned about the social stigma of watching porn. Or maybe its as simple as dudes like porn. After all, it is a multi-billion dollar business and seems to take up half the internet (you should have seen what we came across googling Hitler liked porn). These explanations seem pretty satisfying for the Hussein boys, and Kim and Adolph but less so for Bin Laden. Osama claimed to be all about spreading a strict brand of Islam where women and men can't even go out for a drink, much less make dirty movies. And women must be covered from head to toe when the leave the house. If the guy likes a little skin, why is he willing to kill thousands to institute the burqa rule? He clearly likes a little porn on the one hand but is ok with Taliban style public executions for adultery on the other? Maybe he thought those people in the movies were married.
In the end this is just another example of the hypocrisy of the so called Jihad movement. Hopefully Osama's stash will help to show others in the Muslim world just how bankrupt and empty Bin Laden's cause really is, but I'm not holding my breath. Now... what's on Cinemax later tonight?
