Isn't it believed that Bert and Earnie are gay?

We have this up at Free Britannia - here are some pictures for your information:



Note the area circled in red.

This apparently comes from this picture:



Now the suspect for this would be the fellow who runs the Bert is Evil site. But he has denied all responsibility. So perhaps Bert has gone over to the other side?

The bottom line is it seem these these protested quickley put togther there poster with bin Laden pic they pull from various internet websites but didn't bother to check that some were alter joke pictures ...

One is bin Laden with Bert ( of Bert & Ernie) and one had bin Laden holding a bottle of Johnny Walker!

(See far right middle of this pic.)

[MadIvan]

Well it just goes to show something. Our enemies are idiots.

You know the one pic on the mid upper left (below the top pic in the Field jacket) he looks like he burning in hell fire

[Dan Day]

This is true.

Also note the fact that the "Usama Bin Laden" writing on the poster is in *English*.

This protest was obviously put together for *our* perusal, not to influence other Bangladeshis. This wasn't a local pep rally, it was a "let's call in the CNN cameras and see if we can convince the Americans we have great resolve" rally.

ha!

Also, the bin Ladin figure above Bert is hugging a bottle of Johnnie Walker Scotch Whisky. (Either that, or a cermonial dagger.)

QUOTE OF THE DAY!!!!

[Leevite]

That isn't Bert, I'm surprised at all of you! That's Osama's life insurance agent.

Over the past few days I have come to the following conclusions:

1. They are dangerously flammable.
2. They are none too bright.

I have not laughed so hard in years.

If this is genuine it is possible that this is a signal from OBL to some of his terrorist cells to launch a particular attack.

During WWII the British put signals for the Communist French resistance in their ordinary BBC broadcasts. They told them wehn to attack and such by this method.

You mean Jack Daniels-swigging terrorists are going to attack Sesame Street!

"Also note the fact that the "Usama Bin Laden" writing on the poster is in *English"

Reminds me of the legendary "Baby Milk Factory" sign written hastily on foamcore board in Iraq during the Desert Storm War that the infamously gullible Peter "Ahnett" fell for hook line & sinker. (What ever happened to him anyway?)

My son had pulled up that picture of Osama and Bert a couple of weeks ago from Google, and it's still on my computer (the twit turned it into my Windows wallpaper until I undid it).

But to see it on this poster now is too funny.

[Vinomori]

We have to take Bert out. It won't be a popular thing to do, but it must be done. Laura Bush will talk to the nation about how to talk to our children about this. But I think the anti-American link to PBS is now painfully clear. No more federal funds for them.

[Maelstrom]

Or it's a coded signal to sleeper agents outside Afghanistan.

[Dog Gone]

I always thought Bert is actually A+Bert. We now know he's a Pakistani hero and associate of bin Laden. Very sad.

[Doctor Lew]

Thanks for the blowup. This poster reminds me of the Mojo Nixon song, "Elvis is everywhere" - it represents the many facets of the hero who is now being deified ( "Ah, the sailing Elvis - Commodore Elvis, it is." ) My guess is that the compositors mistook the Ernie photo for some sort of sympathetic association. Their stupidity consists in their ignorance of the prevalence and high development of Irony in western popular culture.
