Osama bin Laden doesn’t get much face time in advertising, but he does make a cameo in this ad for a paintball park in Portugal. Other ads feature George Bush, Tony Blair and Saddam Hussein. I played paintball in Missouri once years ago. I was unable to smoke anyone from their hole, but I was pretty good at getting shot from point-blank range. Link via Ads of the World.
