Osama Bin Laden was fingered by the CIA as the mastermind of 9/11. His name on Google has 124,000,000 results. The Al-Quada fugitive was # 1 on the FBI's Most Wanted list. He evaded capture and death for over a decade and three president. Last week Barack Obama ordered his death.
"Kill the motherfuckah."
He succeeded where his predecessor failed, however teenagers around America hit the Yahoo search engine to seek out the 10-4 on the name blazing across TVs and newspapers.
The top ten searched were the following;
1. Is Osama bin Laden dead?
2. How did Osama bin Laden die?
3. Who killed Osama bin Laden?
4. How old is Osama bin Laden
5. Who is Osama bin Laden
6. Where was Osama bin Laden killed?
7. Is Osama bin Laden dead or alive?
8. How tall is Osama bin Laden?
On Yahoo 1 in 3 searches for "how did osama bin laden die" on Sunday were from teens ages 13-17.
According to Yahoo!, 40% of searches on Sunday for "who killed osama bin laden" were from people ages 13-20.
It comes as no surprise that most teenagers had no idea who the fuck Osama Bin Laden was, because 66% of searches were for "who is osama bin laden?"
This information came as no surprise, for as HL Mencken said, "No one went broke underestimating the ignorance of the American public."
More true now than then.
