Is It Possible A 2006 'Family Guy' Episode Predicted The Demise Of Osama Bin Laden? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

There's plenty of serious and smart analysis going on about the newly released Osama bin Laden videos and what they say about the al-Qaeda leader's life in hiding. If you need a break from the melodrama, check out Mediaite's video comparing a tape in which bin Laden flubs a line with a 2006 Family Guy spoof of him making a blooper reel.

The show's bin Laden "wore the same thing, stood before the same background, and mistakenly called the holiday Ramadan 'Radaman,' and chortled his way through the entire video, bringing in props and chumming around with the camera," writes Frances Martel. "Clearly no one quite had the pulse on bin Laden at the time better than Seth MacFarlane."

well obviously Seth MacFarlane is in cahoots with al Quaeda and should be hunted down and excecuted.

I think a more prescient episode exists in the South Park library. Stan's father actually asks for Bin Laden's aid in getting rid of the Jersey Shore crowd which has taken over South Park. Afterwards, at some award ceremony, Bin Laden appears and an American serviceman ropes in from the ceiling and shoots him right in the head, then says "Got 'im!"
