The box with OBL's picture on it could be set up and used for target practice.

For $1, it makes a cost effective item for target practice. Set it out at about 300 yards, and teach the kid to be a sharpshooter. Maybe he will be the lucky guy who gets to kill Osama Bin Laden.

Unless I'm missing something, it didn't say the toy was pro-Osama. Could it be that the intent is for the kids to play war against Osama? If so, there have been plenty of cases like that. In the 1940's, most comic books had anti-Nazi themes and even used Hitler as the enemy. So did the Looney Tunes! And, if I'm not mistaken, G.I. Joe had some Soviet enemies in the 1980's. What's the big deal?

"Billie Watson, a veteran's wife, said, "They'll do anything to make a dollar." In this case, she means it literally, considering it's a "everything-is-a-dollar" type store! LOL

I wonder how big this figure is. I would like to get a few if they are the right size and use them as targets for my Daisy AVANTI XS40 competition air rifle. As a convicted felon I can't possess a firearm anymore, but a good air rifle keeps my skills sharp.

I was thinking of throwing it into the fireplace and watching it slowly melt while chanting allah is melting!

I wonder if Rove got OBL to pose for the doll when OBL was making the election tape? Maybe the profits are being diverted to the Republican party.

I was thinking the same thing, the Osama "action figure" would make a good nemesis for a kid with GI JOE figures, someone for Joe to kick around. Better yet, put Barbie's panties on Osama's head and have Barbie pull him around on a leash! ;)

Barbie is a blonde. She doesn't wear panties.

The perfect stocking stuffer to go along with that Red Ryder BB Gun.

Hmm... so I guess that Saddam Hussein bobblehead isn't a good idea, either.

Heck, two different 9-11 hijacker toys have also turned up at such stores.
The rest of this world has not fully awakened to just what a horrific attack that was. When is the Beslan activity playset coming out?
