Default Sick of Osama?

Is anybody else here sick of Osama coverage? He's going to be in the next Call of Duty, they're making a movie, and it's all I can find on the internet news.

Seriously - a movie... It wasn't THAT impressive compared to other operations...

How about when we sent troops into Serbia? What about Panama, Grenada? How about the GSG9 crises with the Baader Meinhof Gang?

Does anybody else feel the same way?

So, in order to complain about Osama coverage, you open yet another thread about him? Typical GT logic...

There's already a thread about the alleged movie on the first page of this forum. I have not heard about it being present in the new Call of Duty game, though, seems rather unlikely.

I seem to recall asking a similar question in the weeks after Michael Jackson's death. The entertainment media in particular just couldn't get over it.

Am I sick of hearing about Osama? Brother, I've been sick of these news cycles ever since the first Simpson trial.

I'm probably going to Hell for mentioning this:

The Britney Spears Meltdown!


I'm glad they finally got over that triviality.

I was sick of Osama, but then we fortunately won the icehockey championship. I was sick of icehockey championship, but then the party fortunately got a little too wild and people started asking how appropriate it is to party hard after such victory. Now I'm sick of wondering how appropriate it is, but fortunately soon enough something else will happen.

Basically I'm sick of media that has to make 1,000,000,000 articles about one and same topic and spam them on their websites like no one in any forum could. "OMG, did you know that celebrity Neverheardofyou just sneezed?! Read it all here! Watch the video!!"

Arnold's illegitimate son being an anchor baby to the mother about to be deported because she doesn't have a green card and working for 20 years getting paid under the table so Arny could avoid paying the taxes that paid for the kids birth in a county hospital. Then the plot will thicken after Arnold refuses to produce his birth certificate proving he's not an American and everything he did as Governor is invalidated and declared illegal, including the immigration amnesty that allowed his housekeeper to remain in this country so she could have an anchor baby who'll grow up to be a criminal and collect food stamps while in prison for having sex with his half-sister.

And they all lived happily ever after.
