For Your Viewing Pleasure: Photos And Video Of Bin Laden’s Dead Body May Be Released As Conservative Group Files Lawsuit!

Uh-ohhhh, Kola Boof might lose her husband-fawking mind if THIS goes down! The world may yet see photographs — and even video — of a dead Osama Bin Laden. The conservative group Judicial Watch has sued for release of the materials under Freedom of Information Law, and they apparently have a case, The Atlantic Wire reports. Former Justice Department privacy official Dan Metcalfe told the Website that a government brief in the case effectively concedes “portions of the records that are legally required to be disclosed.” That could mean redacting portions of the images that show U.S. military personnel or technology, but not the slain terror leader, according to the report. The CIA has argued that such a disclosure would “trigger violence” around the globe, Wired.com reported. After offing the terror leader in Pakistan last May with a “double tap” of gunshots to the torso and head, Navy SEALs snapped pictures of his corpse to show they got their man. The Obama Administration nixed conspiracy theories by showing them to a select group of lawmakers, who agreed that the “gruesome” photographs proved Bin Laden’s death beyond a shadow of a doubt. Keep it 100, don’t YOU want to see these pictures if they are released?? Source Flip the page for a gallery of a few of the “real” Bin Laden death pics

R.I.P. Legendary Soul Train Creator Don Cornelius Found Dead Of Apparent Suicide In L.A. Home

This is so sad. The L.A. coroner has confirmed that legendary Don Cornelius is dead. According to TMZ reports : Don Cornelius — who famously created “Soul Train” was found dead in his Sherman Oaks, CA home this morning … and law enforcement sources tell us it appears he committed suicide. We’re told cops discovered the body at around 4 AM PT. Law enforcement sources tell us … Cornelius died from a gunshot wound to the head and officials believe the wound was self-inflicted. We’re told Cornelius was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. “Soul Train” changed the landscape of television when it debuted in 1971 and ran until 2006. Officials have notified Don’s family. Cornelius was 75. During Don’s bitter divorce proceedings in 2009, he told an L.A. judge he was suffering from “significant health issues” and wanted to “finalize this divorce before I die.” Cornelius was arrested in 2008 for beating up his wife. He pled no contest to misdemeanor domestic violence and was placed on 3 years probation. His probation just terminated. The divorce was granted in 2010. Sources close to Don tell us … the TV icon was plagued with health issues for years … including a stroke and a condition that required brain surgery. This is a horrible start to Black History Month.

Lucy Lawless Sex Scene in Spartacus of the Day

Rememeber Lucy Lawless….of course you do…I don’t know why I bothered asking that, when I know as you make your weapons for simulated battles in the park, you know the catapult, and the fucking lance and other Braveheart shit that prevents you from seriosuly getting laid, you always fall back on Lucy Lawless to guide, to show you the way and to make you feel loved when you are in the process of making love to yourself. As a virgin loser, you are loyal to your fantasies, as much as you are loyal to you videogames, you comic books and your fake god that guides you into battle every Sunday afternoon….so you’ll like this, if not for seeing tits but for the idea that in the era of Spartacus you had slaves service you before fucking, reminding us how conservative and shitty we’ve become… Via – Whoever made the show Spartacus and TotallyCrap for posting it.

NBC’s Racist Menu of the Day

Questlove posted the menu from NBC’s Black History Month menu and I think shit looked pretty good, bu Questlove thought it was racist…NBC tries to celebrate a bullshit holiday the blacks were given to apologize for taking them out of their dung huts and turning them into cotton pickers, and the black employee turns on them…. All I know is that I hope this gets Questlove from the Roots fired from NBC for breaching a contract and when they take him and his fat ass off the air, I hope they bring Jimmy Fallon with him. I hate people who bitch about a little insignifican comedy at work
