RWal-Mart is making life difficult for Oscar Brufani, a 52-year-old man who makes his living delivering potato chips in Buenos Aires. One of the corporation's store managers thinks he looks like Osama bin Laden -- and won't let him come near her store.
Oscar Brufani delivers potato chips in Buenos Aires -- and he looks a lot like Osama bin Laden. Oscar Brufani has only shaved three times in his life -- the first time when he was 18 and needed to have his picture taken for his passport. He felt naked.
The second time came when he was given a medical examination. He felt humiliated. And to this day he still regrets the third time: He was 24 years old and wanted to do his wife a favor. She was pleased, but their three little daughters ran away -- frightened by the man with the bare chin. It was then that Brufani swore to himself he would never shave off his beard again....

He looks nothing like a terrorist. People are being ridiculous.
He doesn't look that much like Osama.
LOL @ Wal Mart .....
The guy looks more like a yoga Guru from the 60's.
Bette Midler, on standing next to LaToya Jackson at the "We Are The World" recording: "I stood next to LaToya! She was wearing a headband! I felt naked!"
Why one thing makes me think of another is a mystery.
And sadly, you had to tell us about it...
LOL!
Inquiring minds really don't want to know about this in any more detail...
But they are supporting gay and lesbians big time!!!
But you don't gotta be one to shop there...
Personally, I am hoping that beards become looked down upon and spurned in society. (And I have had one any times, by the way)
We need to begin to ostracize appearances of Islam. That means the veil, burkas, beards, turbans... ANYTHING that even remotely looks Muslim should be made a thing to be looked down upon.
We need to continue to make Islam anathema.
If his lawyer can link Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rove somehow... game over.
As it happens I went to walmart this afternoon. Exiting as I was entering was a muslim couple. The woman was in full burka with face concealed. For a second I thought it was a belated halloween sighting. Oddly, neither carried any purchase bags. I figure she had all she needed under that giant burka.
thats ridiculous. HE looks nothign like bin laden. Media spin? He looks like a hippy to me
E-mailed the company on this matter!!!
Exactly like the 1971-72 gang of jon carry!!!
Life is tough. Next!
