Here are a few ideas I've had about why OBL audiotaped his message instead of videotaping it.
1. Videotapes could conceivably give away his position and perhaps the allies have gotten a bit too close a couple of times for his liking.
2. The camera adds ten pounds. He's vain.
3. He always wanted to be a DJ and the tape isn't a threat, just an Al Jazeera air-check audition tape.
4. He didn't want anyone to see the computer in the background. See, OBL is really Pannsy and if we saw the computer, we'd all know.
5. He couldn't afford a new viedocamer, what with the mounting prices of plastique and shitbox pickup trucks.
6. He's become a nudist.
7. Allah told him that cassette tapes are making a big comeback and he wants to be on top of this trend, for once.
8. It wouldn't do for the faithful to see him chowing down on a North Carolina pork barbecue sandwich.
9. Have you *seen* the prices on i-Macs these days?
10. Five words: Top 40 radio air play!
