File under: Iraqi Insurgency

#1 Inshallahshaheed is back, and the video posters are grabbing his stuff. He celebrates the murder of Americans, and he does on US soil.

#2 Don't laugh. Their propaganda network is still better than the West's.

#3 Look closely, it's a toy Humvee. Remember the G.I. Joe type doll they used when they tried to convince the world they had a captured US soldier?

#5 Fake. Looks like stop-motion video - the wheels don't even turn. The tires have a plastic shine. there's no suspension action, the soil is out of scale, the vehicle has no weathering - dirt, dust, etc., and there's little fire in the 'explosion'. Not even good enough for Holyweird.

#8 That's hilarious!

Still, one has to wonder how seriously this will be taken by the core audience target?

They want to believe, to borrow a quote, and sophistication and understanding of visual language sometimes seems "problematic" in certain populations (cf. the obviously FAKE - as in with ridiculous movie props equipement and typical pr0n poses and imagery - "iraqui rape scenes" from an eastern european adult website that were taken as truth by muslim newspapers, turkish bombers, and a couple US race baiters & antiwar activists).

#9 Old Spook: I won't truly be scared until they release Storm Shadow (the ninja) or Destro (the metal-headed bad guy), LOL!

#11 Looks like it took the hit pretty good. Maybe Mattel ought to build Humvees?
Coming up next: Brave Jihadis ~~melt~~ sink ~~plastic~~ aircraft carrier ~~with cherry bombs~~ and celebrate with migraine causing chickenscratch music...

#17 If the price of oil keeps going up, soon, bin Laden will be able to buy one of these , and then we've got problems.

#18 When it blows up, you can see the stick they used to push it fly up and land in the foreground. And then they're nice enough to reverse it and do it in slow motion so you can see it even better.
I think some bored GI did this and some retarded Jihadi found it on the web, added the chickenscratch sound track, mailed it to Al Jizz, and chalked up another victory against the infidel Crusader army...

#19 It would be fun to hack their web site and upload some real videos of rag heads getting put down for dirt naps.

Yeah, we can see that it's fake but you gotta consider the target audience. If you grow up playing with goat dung you won't know what a plastic action figure is. It's like Pravda. You can't believe any of that crap either. You can't even believe that anybody expects you to believe it. But 250 million Russians don't know any better. But then, you don't know any better when CBS is pulling your leg because they are more sophisticated and technologically advanced.

#20 "Hah! The Onion, what a great web site. Oh, that was a real attempt..well I guess trying to outdo Team America and Baron Munchausen its going to look like crap. Hey sonny, pour me another one and I'll tell you about the time when I was a kid your age and made movies using Lego Mech Warriors..."

#21 Bah, Joe was just trying to get the attention of 101st AIRBORNE Army Medic Barbie. I smell an Article 32 investigation coming or a book deal with TNR.

Al Gore got an Oscar and a Nobel Peace Prize. Nuff said.
