We always miss the bad guy

Ahhh, so Osama Bin Ladin is dead, for the umpteenth time. Well I suppose a shot to the head kinda does it for you, though I have heard of people surviving worse in my time. The report that he stopped breathing too kind puts a lid on the whole affair I suppose. So unless someone has found a cure for death since Jesus Christ, that's that I suppose. Seriously though, really? It's like we don't want the Cobra Commander of our age to be dead (well who does really?). Whoever replaces him will have a lot of bogey points to live up to. Yeah Cobra Commander was a whiny bastard, but compared, to Serpentor who temporarily replaced him, Cobra Commander was OUR whiny bastard, and at least he got a trial.

 

Yeah wouldn't it have been cool if Osama got a show trial like that? But seriously, not even Saddam Hussein lived up to the G.I. Joe adversary like Osama did, and the best thing about him was, we had no idea where to find him (unless of course you were John McCain) and the rumors surrounding his living status spread like wild fire. Hell I can't think of anyone who inspired more mock Twitter accounts in his name other than the New York escaped cobra. Osama was an inspiration not only to terrorists around the world but to comic genius and parody as well. Ahh I can only imagine what Thames TV would have made of him in their iconic Spitting Image show, now sadly cancelled. Once again South Park is deprived of it's evil Muslim lover to inspire a misunderstood Satan. But don't let that let you down, in life he inspired comic genius throughout the world. In death Hitler still inspires tasteless comedy, maybe in his twilight years Mel Brooks can provide with a heart warming sequel to Spring Time for Hitler with a number for Osama Bin Landin. Come on Mel we owe the bastard that much at least. Where would a new generation of Comedians have been without the man who eluded American mob mentality...oh sorry I mean, Justice... for so many years? Any who follow in his steed are going to be poor imitations, like Serpentor was to Cobra Commander, or worse, Galvatron to Megatron.

But then again... we can only hope...
