'Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden' Poster
With a title that makes such a deliberate, untimely pop culture reference, I fully expected that the poster for Morgan Spurlock's Where in the World is Osama bin Laden would again allude to its namesake--the old PBS show, or even older video game, or The Today Show's excuse to send Matt Lauer to Iceland, or whatever it's meant to be. But, wouldn't you know it, that wily narcissist has once again pulled the wool of his ironic mustache over my eyes, coming up with a completely unexpected parody poster: a parody of an '80s comedy poster doing a parody of Raiders of the Lost Ark!
If you compare it to the original Indy poster, you'll notice the filmmaker has cleverly replaced each element of the Raiders one-sheet with something equivalent from his own film. The fearsome snake becomes a clearly-pained camel; the guy with a hat becomes a different guy with a hat; and Indiana himself becomes Spurlock, madly excited to catch you in his snare and smother you in arrogance.
