Have any FReepers seen this "film"?

From what I have heard from others,they noted it sounds like the voices were dubbed in, and possibly over-dubbed. No surprise, as it was likely recorded in English and translated. But If you can dub it once, why not overdub it from "Osama" to "Mohammed"? SO what I'm wondering is: did an industrious al-Qaeda member changed it about to be "insulting", then sent it to the local YouTube to deliberately mislead others?

I believe that's most likely the case, but I also heard the crappy video has been in Youtube since July, so why would a community organizer wait until now? Does the whole middle east sit online and watch Youtube all day?

Here's the link to the “long” version of the trailer that is (surprisingly) still up at YouTube:

As film, as drama, it's laughably bad. And its exact provenance still remains a mystery. As far as I know, there is no complete “film,” only this trailer.

What I do know is that this “trailer” has been up on YouTube since July, but that it only came to the attention of Muslims after a radical Islamist TV station in Cairo broadcast and denounced it last week.
