Al Qaida, Al Qa’ida, el-Qaida, al Qaeda?

No wonder they can’t find Osama Bin laden, no one knows how to spell the name of his company. George Bush probably sent him a really terse letter on September 12 telling him to hand himself in to the nearest US Embassy or KFC in Afghanistan but he never got it because they wrote Al Qida’s name wrong. If I worked for Al Queiada’s PR agency, which is probably based in Pakistan near the mountainous border with Afghanistan, because that’s where Osama is. I would be seriously looking at the branding problem. Can’t you see Osama in his cave hitting the roof each time he sees another report. Maybe that’s the cunning plan by the world’s media. To smoke him out into the open. Wait till he writes a letter of complaint to TV Guide about the consistent misspelling of one of the world’s most preeminent terrorist organisations, then track him down. While we are on the subject of tracking down Osama. Has anyone asked Readers Digest if they have his address? I moved home about 3 times and those guys always managed to find me and flood my mailbox with their crap direct mail. I don’t think Osama would fall for the old ‘This cardboard key could be the key to a real car’ but I bet the mailbox outside his cave still gets that rubbish, along with the bills for the kidney dialysis machine rental and catalogues for new AK47’s.
