This is just what I want to see on the anniversary of the Sept 11 attacks: a cartoon Osama, complete with Kalashnikov, selling video games.

There was one interesting element of it: there was a large red-draped shape (anthropomorphic and/or cross-shaped) that passers-by were invited to tag with small red cards saying what they were afraid of. Some of the sentiments were disappointingly predictable — Bush, the government — but others were more throughtful. One read “ignorance” while others said “being apathetic”, “becoming irrelevant.”
