The misadventures of Saddam and Osama

I found this while looking around on youtube today. It's a funny cartoon written by Sean Penn about the adventures of Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden. Obviously it isn't an actual Arab cartoon - it's more of a stereotypical satire that plays off of all the goofy things we know about Middle Eastern culture. The commercials are the best part, and since it's only a little over three minutes long, it's not going to take all day to load and view this sucker. Enjoy.


Oh, and on a tragic note, the Retro Games site has been given a face-lift and for one reason or another, you can't actually play emulated games on it anymore. Now you pretty much get to stare at a couple of screenshots and read through a long list of games that used to be playable right in your browser. Oh well. The link is coming down tonight. It really ruined my day when I realized it, though. Just like someone urinating in my cornflakes. But not to worry - the other games are still playable and those links aren't going anywhere.
