• US: Government releases spoof al-Qaeda video
    14 replies, posted
[quote] The US has released a spoof video starring al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri. Taking the classic preaching-to-camera format, the three-minute clip features a voiceover in which the Egyptian-born militant repeatedly bungles his speech by saying things like: "The butchers, ahem, sorry, I mean the mujahideen". In the video - issued by the US State Department's Digital Outreach Team - al-Zawahiri is backed by punkah-wallahs. The clip then cuts to a shot, as though from behind the speaker, to reveal a troupe of dancers performing in front of him.

That title's just unfair.
Misleading title is misleading.

Worst possible title you could have :v:

US propaganda with arab writing is hilarious. [editline]26th July 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Stroma;41604388]why is scout1 still allowed to make threads here again[/QUOTE] He wasn't then he got unbanned for garry's birthday.
There's a difference between making exaggerations based on reason, as well as witty titles, to something outright misleading. If you really need to make a shitty title, something like "U.S. Government releases staged Al-Qaeda video" video would be much more acceptable than this irrelevant title. Thinking of just not allowing modified titles in general since some people take it too far.
[QUOTE]"fizzy drinks should be consumed while watching this production" - a twist on the usual message at the beginning of al-Qaeda videos saying "it is not permitted to add music to this production"[/QUOTE] This is an interesting outreach program..
[QUOTE=Stroma;41604388]why is scout1 still allowed to make threads here again[/QUOTE] Is he that guy that punches himself in the dick because he hates his diaper fetish?
Kinda curious to what the title was before it was changed.
[QUOTE=W00tbeer1;41604587]Kinda curious to what the title was before it was changed.[/QUOTE] Something along the lines of "US Government admits to Al Qaeda false flag operation"
[QUOTE=W00tbeer1;41604587]Kinda curious to what the title was before it was changed.[/QUOTE] Ohhhhhh they changed it. I was really confused about the complaints.
[quote]It seems it's even had exchanges with terror suspects such as US-born militant Omar Hammami, a former member of Somalia's al-Shabab. After the US recently announced a $5m bounty for Hammami's arrest, he responded on Twitter: "As I'm a bit low on cash, how much is my left leg going for?" Digital Outreach replied, in Arabic: "Why don't you start with [cutting off] your head and then do jihad without your head? It's clear that you don't use it anyway".[/quote] Oh snap.
