Towards Mecca » Osama Loves Video Games

A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by a representative of the website OsamaLoves.com. The aim of the site is to show that not all Osama’s are terrorists hell-bent on seeing the end of all Americans and apple pie. Their aim is to collect the pictures of 500 Osama’s holding up a cue card explaining what they love! They also plan on making a documentary with the same purpose.

If you’re a regular reader then you already know that my first name is Osama. If not, then welcome Well this is the image that I submitted to them:

Well what did you expect? I love video games as you can see from the image My wife helped me make the card and she also took the picture and wanted me to mention that by the way If any of you know an Osama please let them know about the site as they’re still about 400 Osamas short of their target 500.

PS: Yes, in case you’re wondering, that’s a PS2, X-Box, X-Box 360, PS3, and Dreamcast in the picture

This is hilarious, cute and quite intelligent! If there is a group of people who need a good P.R. Representative its people named Osama! I hope the goal of this site is achieved and its vision understood.

Just one more thing bro…

Can you tell me your top games on PS3, XBox 360, Wii and any other major games consoles?

And the company you work for, the full name of the game your working on now, and a basic concept?

It’s just to put up with your photo…

HAHA! Yeah there’s enough “proof” out there for them to use but some more proof of equal merit wouldn’t hurt

It’s wonderful to see you take part in and supporting such an nobla cause. The collection of video games systems craks me up. I have a ColecoVision at my parents house. I use to play that sooo much and you just brought that memory back. Has anybody ever played on ColecoVision or is that part of our Canadian History?

I did play on a ColecoVision in the past. I still got my Intellivion II at home. Burger Time FTW!
