i think the whole thing about showing the dead body is going too far in general. its one of those things that you dont have to see to believe (based on the myriad ways the govt has proven a positive id other than it physically looking like him), and i dont think it makes the story any better.

the caption on the other hand is uncalled for and awful - imo it was meant to be humorous, but it blatantly mocks ALL individuals that follow that particular faith regardless of if their terrorists or law abiding citizens.

theyll get a lot of backlash both from the picture and the caption.

You will watch this to the end - http://www.zefrank.com/theshow/archives/2006/06/060506.html#

You will then get the fuck over yourself.

You will then be a total bitch about it.

Edit: And no, the Post didn't go too far so much as they were just lame about it. Surely they could've thought of something better than a fucking speech bubble. Humourous yes, but plays down the significance of what's happened. Not cool, in my opinion, but whatchagonnado. THE PRESS OBVIOUSLY KNOWS BEST O_O_O_O_O
