Bin Laden's Porn Doth Protest Too Much

There are things that are certain in life - generally these are known to be death and taxes.  In my own alleged wisdom, I'd like to add a few more, namely hacks and porn.

Now we all know I'm pretty skeptical about the entire Bin Laden episode (not to mention everything else in life) but for the purposes of this post, I'm going to go with what the press has been told to carry.

Among the goodies found in the compound were flash drives used for a roundabout form of email.  Among the emails was found porn.  The collection was referred to as extensive and modern.

Of course they found porn.  Porn is ubiquitous, like tax increases.  The only thing more sure than porn is porn found on religious icons who are specifically against it.  Where did some of the alleged hijackers spend their last night on Earth?  Getting lap dances.  The more hot air expelled on the topic, the larger (and stranger) the collection of porn.  Think televangelists. Or priests.  Or very pious republicans.

Why would Bin Laden want porn?  Because he's a guy: guys love porn.  Some women love porn.  Men are visually stimulated, women not so much.

Let's take a moment to get serious (I promise - just one moment): porn is part of a very necessary process, a release valve.  When there's no release valve, pressure builds up.  When pressure builds up, bad things can happen (see: priests).

Ok, enough seriousness.  I just wanted to bring you this news.

Simply because it amuses the hell out of me.  Bin Laden had porn - nyah nyah!
