Singing Saddam and Bin Laden Dolls Seized
2003-11-26
You just know I cannot resist!
Israeli customs have seized a shipment of 450 singing, dancing, and exploding Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein dolls under a law banning incitement, an official said on Wednesday.
But it’s almost Christmas! What will all those Paleos get under the tree...ah, er, umm,...oops. My bad.
The hate-filled battery-powered Chinese-made figurines were confiscated at the northern port of Haifa, Customs Authority spokeswoman Idit Lev-Zerahiya said.
Dancing dolls in Isreal, bologna from Mexico...Cheez.
An Israeli Arab ‘businessman’ from the northern village of Qafr Qara admitted under questioning to importing the 400 copies of the al Qaeda leader and 50 of the deposed Iraqi ruler, as a "gimmick" for sale to Jews and Arabs, a customs statement said.
400 vs. 50. It’s all about supply and demand, is it not?
"The law doesn’t exactly say that you cannot own a bin Laden doll, but neither he nor Saddam Hussein are exactly good educational role models," Lev-Zerahiya told Reuters.
