Mr. And Mrs. Bin Laden

I had another dose of CBC's the Passionate Eye (this particular one I believe originally a BBC documentary) this Sunday. A crazy English woman, Jane Felix Browne 51 years old, married Osama Bin Laden's 26 year old son. Then she got divorced within a few months and yet went to see Bin Laden in Egypt. Sounds like an utterly crazy, or extremely brave, or both. Let's call it strange love. Even in Egypt Bin Laden Jr. was being tailed everywhere he went and so was Browne. After all, he is Osama Bin Laden's son. She sold the story to the media so maybe it was all a stunt to make money.

"A strange tale of love and lust straight from the newspaper headlines, Mr. and Mrs. bin Laden tells the story of the fourth son of Osama bin Laden's controversial marriage to a British grandmother twice his age." Click here to read the story.

I could not find the actual video of the program.

Long ago there was a movie "The Graduate" and song "Mrs. Robinson" which went like this:

And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)

Mrs. Robinson screwed around with a student as the movie goes. Maybe there will be a movie called "Mr. and Mrs. Bin Laden" ;)
