Fox News Poll Reveals 3% Of Americans Believe 72 Virgins Greeted Ghost Osama

With terrorist fiend Osama bin Laden finally dead, it appears that the American media has taken to the fun posthumous exercise of finding out just how many people saw the world the way bin Laden did. While CNN got the ball rolling on Ghost Osama by finding that most Americans believed the was burning in Hell, Fox News now investigated the converse: how many Americans believe bin Laden is now engaging in illicit behavior with 72 virgins?

The shocking answer: not many. A good 3% of Americans believed bin Laden got what he was working for, while the rest of the nation described where he is right now as a “more negative end” or were unsure (which, in fairness, could be both Hell and simply being nibbled at by marine life at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean). And for the conspiracy theorists among you:15% of Americans think bin Laden met none of these ends because he may be still alive; only 78% think he’s “absolutely” dead.

While the belief that bin Laden may be alive might actually lead to a more interesting collective, who exactly those 3% of Americans are that actually believe bin Laden was greeted by a personal harem after his death is a fascinating question. Even factoring in the amount of people who said yes simply out of frustration with the fact that a news organization was putting resources into the question, that leaves a good 1% of Americans who believe that bin Laden got what eh worked for. Perhaps the secret may lie in the fact that the poll question doesn’t specify the age, sex, or attractiveness level of the virgins, nor what exactly they were doing to “greet” him.

What percentage of America is occupied by Muslims? What percentage will they be in 5 years? 10 years?

The Ladies on The View need to remind us that it is wrong to generalize about Muslims getting 72 virgins. Just some Muslims get 72 virgins. And if you don’t clarify, Whoopi and Joy will walk off the stage.

Back in ’76, I was a copy editor responsible for a 60-pt., front page typo where Ronald Reagan’s last name was misspelled in a headline. (He was ex-Gov of California, running against incumbent Ford for the GOP nomination.) I discovered the goof as the first pages came off the press. Before we could get authorization to shut it down, three thousand copies of the paper had been printed.) Months later, I got to photograph Ford and Sen. John Tower while I was up on the scaffolding with a bunch of Secret Service and national media photogs. Our main photog’s film got ruined and my shit ended up running on the front page. It remains the only time that a sitting U.S. President has visited Conroe, Texas. (pop. 20,000). I guess now in the digital age, when you make a typo you can’t fix it.

You’re in very, very good company on that one, Frances. Everybody’s done it, including Ted Kennedy. And if Colby even thinks about giving you any crap over it, just proofread any one of his pieces and hand it to him corrected.

In a related story, 100% of people have no freaking idea what happens after you die.

The only thing this poll tells me is no matter what the subject there is someone out there that will believe it. It’s how con men make their living. They get you to believe the unbelievable

Osama got two very big surprises the day that SEAL Team 6 paid him a visit. His first surprise was when they scrambled his brains with lead. And the second was when he woke up in hell.

Remember, gents, if you’re good and hate the right people enough, no music or Marlboros, you too can enjoy paradise forever with your own harem of women.
Ladies, if you’re good, don’t get stoned (yes, both ways), live a life of pious subserviance, you too can spend eternity servicing a hairy terrorist.
Quite the deal you got going there.

I happen to know for a fact that he was greeted by 72 virgins — all guys. The Koran makes no mention of them being female.

Most rational people feel no need to declare the Tooth Fairy a myth. So why are you worried enough about the afterlife to claim clairvoyance concerning what “100% of people” know or don’t know? Sounds like you’re not very convinced of your assertion. Good…………that’s a start.
