Ah, a little mocking in the morning is good for the soul…
Via Daily Mail:
An apparent al Qaida Twitter account which asked followers for PR ideas has been suspended after social networkers bombarded it with mocking tweets.
Security analyst J.M. Berger urged his followers on the site to hijack a hashtag allegedly used by terrorists to canvass suggestions for ‘media ops’.
Social networkers responded with a barrage of satirical advice which included the proposal that al Qaida should release a film entitled Dude, Where’s My Car Bomb?
Another user suggested: “More cats in online releases”.
Mr Berger launched his trolling’ crusade earlier this week when he alerted followers to an arabic hashtag being used to ‘solicit ideas’ for a public relations campaign and urged social networkers: ‘You should all send some.’
One user responded: ‘al Qaida the movie: Dude, where’s my car bomb?’
Another wrote: ‘Open up a fast food restaurant called Jihad Joes’ while social networker Mike Doran suggested al Qaida’s leader Ayman al-Zawahiri should ‘start “Martyrdom”, AQ’s brand of exclusive fragrances’.
Several suggestions made reference to the pornography allegedly found at Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan after he was killed by US navy Seals in 2011.
