Some years ago..

Osama Bin Laden's name was pronounced just that way... Ummm..

The media is really really really staying away from saying Osama Bin Laden, and just hanging with the Bin Laden portion.

I've also noticed that when they show the text its Usama Bin Laden, however I've yet to hear anyone utter the name Osama...

Just something I've noticed this evening..

Carry on. Here is a dancing banana..

I think its because several news channels and other shows have said Obama is dead instead of Osama, so they just stick with Bin Laden so they do not accidentally say the Presidents name.

I think I heard O'Reilly make that mistake, but he immediately corrected hisself.

I understand that, perhaps.. However aren't news anchors supposed to be good at speaking? Hell, even the CGI departments avoided the name altogether.. Thats ******* lazy as I look at it.
