From Ranker.com's list of top 50 funny Internet reactions to Osama bin Laden's death, this blooper someone posted on You Tube tops their list. A Fox News anchor mistakenly announcing President Obama was dead.

Also on the list, some funny graphics, including this and this; this Facebook replica, and another, in which someone named Victoria truly didn't know who Osama was (scroll through, she really didn't).

And this You Tube video creation of Donald Trump as Hitler, fuming and becoming unglued when he learns of Osama's death.

The list is bound to grow.

    here on TL. The people who are saying it remind me of '92 with Bush Sr. constantly talking about the Gulf War. No one wanted to hear about the Gulf War in '92. If the economy doesn't get better, capturing OBL is just going to be a faint memory and Obama will look just as pathetic as Bush Sr. if that's what he expects him to get reelected with.

    the Osama killing in and of itself.  If the results give the president confidence to act decisively with or without the approval of the Republicans but with the interest of  the American people he will be a shoe-in and we will all be the better for it.  If, on the other hand, it will be back to coddling as usual, bin Laden will be a distant memory by November 2012, especially after it is minimized and questioned by Fox and friends.

    Most people think otherwise. At least, most people worth reading.

    When I called my brother in California to tell him what had happened (He is either sleeping at 5AM when things happen or does not watch networks)he started flipping the news channels. He said, why does Fox News spell his name with a 'U'? I swear, besides being so nutty, Fox makes the biggest mistakes when identifying or labeling on their scroll. It is like they outsource to another country.

    They are spelling it with an O. I was not aware that Fox News was so 'spelling' correct. They put D's after bad guys and R after good ones. There seems to be a long pattern of not being accurate. And they were the only ones with the U. Thanks for the info though.
