David Letterman is not taking the recent jihadist death threats against him lightly. He’s taking it very lightly, ridiculing the nut jobs incessantly on The Late Show . If anything, he likely pushed a few more buttons with this bit Monday night: David Letterman Jokes About Death Threats Most of Letterman’s Monday night jokes – and Top 10 list – were dedicated to addressing threats against him last week on site frequented by Al-Qaeda. “You people, to me, are more than just an audience; you’re more like a human shield,” Letterman began, and it only got more ridiculous from there. “Sorry I’m a little late. Backstage, I was talking to a guy from CBS, we were going through the CBS life insurance policy to see if I’m covered for jihad.” “Everybody’s so sensitive,” Letterman added. “But I’ll tell you, Bin Laden, when they killed him, he’d been locked in his house with six wives for three years … So when the SEALS walked in he said, ‘Just shoot me.’” That’s just how Dave rolls. Killing the extremists with absurdist humor.
Group lashed out at late night host over his jokes about an Al Qaeda leader. By Gil Kaufman David Letterman Photo: Ray Tamarra/Getty Images David Letterman is currently on hiatus, but that hasn’t stopped the late night legend from angering some people with comments he made before taking off for summer vacation. According to reports from SITE Intelligence Group, which scans the Internet for terrorist activity, Letterman has been marked for death by a jihadist group for comments the “Late Show” host made on June 5 about Al Qaeda leader Ilyas Kashmiri, who was killed earlier this summer during a U.S. military strike in Pakistan. The threat on the Shumukh al-Islam web forum, which called for followers to “cut the tongue of the lowly Jew and shut it forever,” said that Letterman — who is Protestant — should be punished for his comments about the man who had been considered a possible replacement for late terror leader Osama bin Laden. “He showed his evil nature and deep hatred for Islam and Muslims, and said that Ilyas Kashmiri was killed and he joined bin Laden,” wrote someone calling themselves Umar al-Basrawi on the site, according to Entertainment Weekly . “We ask Allah to paralyze his tongue and grant the sincere monotheists his neck.” The FBI is reportedly investigating the threat and Letterman has been informed of the posting. The incident appears to have been inspired by a joke Letterman made in which he announced the death of Kashmiri, which involved the comedian making a slashing motion across his throat. “So Al Qaeda picked a succesor to Osama bin Laden and his name is Ilyas Kashmiri,” Letterman said during his monologue. “Well, guess what? He was blown up by an American drone. It wasn’t going to work anyway because they got off to a rocky start with this guy … He botched up the story of Paul Revere.” “He said that Kashmiri was killed in an airstrike in Pakistan … then, he showed his evil nature and deep hatred for Islam and Muslims, and said that Ilyas Kashmiri was killed and he joined bin Laden. Then the despicable one put his hand on his neck and demonstrated the way of slaughter!!” wrote al-Basrawi.
Warning: the following story contains details of a graphic nature. Really, guys, we’re not kidding. Catherine Kieu Becker, a 48-year old woman California resident, has been arrested after she admitted to slicing off her husband’s penis and tossing it into the garbage disposal. According to police reports, the couple is in the middle of a divorce. Becker laced her unidentified husband’s food with some kind of drug, knocked him out, tied him to the bedpost and took a blade to his manhood. She eventually called 911 and cops arrived on the scene to find the man “bleeding profusely.” Becker was arrested on several charges, including aggravated mayhem, false imprisonment and assault with a deadly weapon. Her husband is in stable condition. Lt. Jeff Nightengale said no motive has been determined, but we’re gonna go out on a crazy limb and say the man was cheating on Becker, who told authorities her husband “deserved” to lose his genitalia.
