I saw this on the news section of xfinity. Kinda amusing and ironic.
I mean, Whitney Houston, WTF.

-Mitsubishi and Suzuki
Bin Laden's unknowing grocer, Anjum Qaisar, also told Businessweek that the al Qaeda leader's two errand boys, Akbar and Rashid Khan, "never came by foot, they always drove a Pajero or a little Suzuki van, and they bought enough food for 10 people." The Mitsubishi Pajero is a sport-utility vehicle whose name pajero is, coincidentally enough, a slang term for "wanker" in some varieties of Spanish. Perhaps even the world's most wanted terrorists buy Japanese these days.
-Vaseline
Spending five years inside a compound, receiving little natural sunlight, won't do wonders for your skin. Among the items discovered on ABC News' exclusive video inside bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, was a family-size jar of Vaseline—a petroleum jelly commonly used as either a lubricant or to provide moisture for dehydrated skin tissue. Since the al Qaeda leader spent five years planted in front of TV and computer screens, perhaps the former is more likely.
-Whitney Houston
One of the most outrageous Osama bin Laden-related stories surfaced in 2006, when Sudanese poet and novelist Kola Boof, who claimed to have served as bin Laden's sex slave for four months in the 1990s, alleged that the al Qaeda leader was obsessed with singer Whitney Houston. "He said that he had a paramount desire for Whitney Houston, and although he claimed music was evil, he spoke of someday spending vast amounts of money to go to America and try to arrange a meeting with the superstar," Boof told The Daily Mail. Boof also claimed bin Laden wanted to gift Houston with a mansion he owned in a suburb of Khartoum, and talked about "how truly Islamic she is but is just brainwashed by American culture and by her husband, Bobby Brown, whom Osama talked about having killed, as if it were normal to have women's husbands killed."
-Pepsi/Coke
Though one of his followers remarked, "The Americans love Pepsi Cola, but we love death," Osama bin Laden was also a big fan of Pepsi and Coke. Businessweek reported that according to grocer Anjum Qaisar, whose store is located about 150 meters from the late terrorist's Abbottabad compound, two polite Pakistanis who called themselves Akbar and Rashid Khan made daily shopping trips to his store for bulk food orders that regularly included Pepsi and Coke—two soft drinks that, in an uncharacteristically diplomatic move, were equally favored by the terrorist. "I was curious about why they bought so much food, but I did not want to be rude by asking" such a personal question, Qaisar told Businessweek. The Khans also have been identified as the owners of bin Laden's compound.
-Nestle Milk
In addition to loading up on Pepsi and Coke from Anjum Qaisar's grocery store in Abbottabad, Osama bin Laden's Boys Friday, Akbar and Rashid Khan, "always bought the best brands—Nestle milk, the good-quality soaps and shampoos," Qaisar told Businessweek. "They always paid cash, never asked for credit."
-Volleyball
Osama bin Laden's bodyguard of four years, Nasser al-Bahri, released a memoir in 2010 that detailed some of bin Laden's hobbies. In addition to playing center forward in football, which he excelled at despite never taking off his turban, bin Laden, according to al-Bahri, was quite handy on the volleyball court—not a huge surprise given his height, listed between 6-foot-4 inches and 6 foot-6 inches by the FBI, and the fact that he's left-handed. "He is so tall that he does not need to jump up to do a smash," said al-Bahri, according to The Sunday Times. No word on whether he enjoyed the infamous "volleyball scene" in Top Gun.
-Arsenal F.C.
According to accounts from bin Laden's childhood friend, Khaled Batarfi, as well as his bodyguard of four years, Nasser al-Bahri, the al Qaeda leader was a huge football (soccer) enthusiast. Furthermore, bin Laden biographer Adam Robinson has attested that the terrorist was a big fan of the British football club Arsenal during his time living in London from 1993 to 1994, The Mirror reported. Robinson claims bin Laden attended four matches while living in London, where he was looking to finance his operations—which happened to coincide with the Gunners' run to the European Cup Final. When reports emerged shortly after the 9/11 attacks of bin Laden's Arsenal fandom, a club spokesman stated in November 2001: "We've seen the reports in the papers. Clearly he wouldn't be welcome at Highbury in the future." [/quote]

take note fellow FPers
hahaha i love that whitney houston thing thats hilarious
and prolly a little embarrassing for whitney
It's like Oprah's favorite things except less people are killed over them.
He also loves Doritos. (Nvm that's Saddam)
Also Arsenal F.C represent!
He also loved planes and skyscrapers, or did he hate them? I'm not sure.
I always get the best milk though no need to go cheap on milk. Damn milks good.
I expected [i]The Sound of Music[/i].
It's kind of surreal to think, when it comes right down to it, someone as demonized as Osama [i]is[/i] still a person, too; with likes and dislikes and loves or hates. To get into the true human aspect of him is, for the lack of a better term: fascinating.
Like Saddam liking Doritos.
I'm disapointed "2 and a half men" isn't on the list. I thought every dictator, terrorist-leader and despot loved that show.
[QUOTE=Chickens!;29745178]He also loves Doritos.[/QUOTE]
No, you're thinking of Saddam Hussein.
[QUOTE=Chickens!;29745178]He also loves Doritos.

You got beat by Stoke.
I like the bit where the article says Osama never took his turban off during football.
(Even though he's not a Sikh so it's not a turban)
Who will fill his shoes?

I just had the most horrifying vision in my head of Bin Laden fapping to Whitney Houston.
That image will be burned into my mind.
Forever.
Seems very hypocritical, all of them. They hate our products yet buy and use them, Osama's in love with Whitney Houston and defends this with the claim that she's very islamic, the hell?
If you're gonna kill people over your beliefs, at least follow them yourselves.

The only connection I see is that you spelled both "Whitney Houston" and "Vaseline" wrong

no its alright for osama and saddam and kim to like it because they are better people that can enjoy our products without becoming slaves to the us
everyone else is weak and must be protected for their own good
If this is true, then he was a pretty normal and maybe cool guy to hang out with.
Except for the Whitney Huston thing.
I'd expect him to be all "no fun, fun is forbidden" and stuff.
The little things have a way of reminding ourselves that no matter who we are or what we've done, we're all still human.

"Whitney! Whitney! I blew up those towers for YOU!"
Please, they're human. They can preach whatever they may want but nobody will ever deny a cold Coke on that goddamn desert. In reality what they are is businessman, even though their business is dealing death, they are still as bureaucratic, egotistic and desensitized as any other businessman.

A Buisnessman with a hard-on for Whitney Houston who literally had the means and plans to kill off her husband so he could be with her, you mean.
