Osama Bin Laden Death Photo Fake? [PHOTOS]

The Osama Bin Laden death photo floating around the internet at this hour is a hotly sought-after item, but unfortunately, it isn't difficult to see the picture is a total fake-out. The Osama death photo hoax, seen here linked below, would be a gruesome image requiring advance warning were it real, but since we can tell you with near certainty its a complete fake, we won't bother.

Now that Osama Bin Laden is dead and his body lost to the Arabian Sea, some Americans want a little more than the President's word for it. They want to see the evidence for themselves. Reports on CNN Monday indicated Bin Laden was shot in both the chest and the head, and ABC News broadcast video reportedly from the bloodied room in Bin Laden's compound in Pakistan. Now, all that remains is to show, well, the remains.

Osama Bin Laden Death Photo A Fake...For Now

Although the mocked-up Osama death photo hoax pic seen here on TMZ (side-by-side with a very well-known image of the human cornucopia of canine fecal material and swamp sludge responsible for the deaths of nearly 3,000 Americans on September 11, 2011, and countless other lives lost around the world) is obviously not the real deal, many Americans are hoping to see an Osama death photo soon. (We should mention, TMZ was merely reporting on the photo; they had nothing to do with its creation or publication.)

On Facebook Sunday night, several people (and more females than men, actually) both 'liked' and commented in the affirmative on a post asking if people wanted to see a post-mortem picture of Osama Bin Laden. One response from Tim B. of New Jersey asked, "Pics? Can I get a finger or a toe?!" Army veteran Diana G. of Tucson wasn't quite as interested in the bits and pieces, but was also hoping for photographic confirmation of Bin Laden's death. When asked if she wanted to see pictures, her reply was short and to the point: "Hell yeah!"
