In a genius PR move to kick start the slow process of changing the image of Al Qaeda and the Taliban etc, Osama Bin Laden has had his name officially changed to Wheelie Bin Laden, by Deed Poll.
All of the terrorists and organisational names will follow suit, according to one source, in an effort to make them appear less threatening. It is thought they might be attempting to enter politics in much the same way as the IRA did.
Al Qaeda is looking at possible alternatives, like Al Murray, for instance, although this has already been taken by a comedian who runs a pub.
Osama chose his name after having watched some old reruns of Chorlton and the Wheelies, one of his favourite TV shows, said an insider, he also likes Winnie the Pooh, but didn't think that would work.
The Taliban are working on a new theme song to enhance the organisations image, this will be based on "The Banana Boat Song" as made famous by "Harry Belafonte" their marketing executives are said to be quite excited with the hook, "Come Mr Taliban, Taliban Commander, day light come and me wan; go home"
