Osama Bin-Laden's Sleeper's Handbook [website, National Lampoon, 2001] A satiric website with purported advice for Al Qaeda's undercover agents in the United States warns about the perils of North American popular culture; appropriate behavior at football games, proper attire, even musical trends: "Boy Bands are in. Use this information to fuel your revolutionary fervor." Among recommendations for tactics, counterintelligence and information gathering: "Recent experience proves that flight schools are all too happy to teach pilots how to fly horizontally only."


Taliban Service Organization Presents the Kabul Komedy Konnection [website and audio production, National Lampoon, 2001, 0:00 mins] In a pointed parody, this audio production and website speculates how the Taliban kept up the morale of their troops through Islamically-correct humor, based on their realization that "there are ways of making people scream and howl without using a car antenna."


The Qu'ran, The Ten Tricky Verses [website, National Lampoon, 2001] This satiric website imagines Osama Bin Laden's misinterpretations of this sacred text's verses, to ensure that its followers do not "misconstrue" the Qu'ran "as a call for amity among people of different faiths, rather than a summoning of forces in preparation for an all out Jihad." For example, it explains that although the Qu'ran commands us to do good, interpreting that instruction can be "tricky." Just as candy bars are delicious but not good for you, crashing a plane into a building only sounds bad." Warning: This website may be particularly offensive to some visitors.
