| "If you can joke about it, you know, you are free!" says one Internet user, commenting on games, which are making fun of world's most wanted terrorist "bin Laden". Once again, the Internet makes it easier than ever to spread satiric messages and images around the globe. For many people they act as therapy in difficult and scary times. You can listen to "Talliban Banana" while you shoot on Bin-Laden, who is trying to rob a grocery store. While the German satiric magazine TITANIC created an outrage, when portraying a top German politician as bin Laden only 2 weeks after the attack, these war games and images are only considered distasteful by a small percentage and downloaded all over the world. Humor helps eliminating fear. Without fear we feel stronger and more confident to master our lives.
