May Gilad enjoy the full life he has set before him and continue to represent freedom and democracy, the strength of the human spirit, and the pride of Israel.

It’s ironic that the story of Bin Laden’s death was first broken on Twitter—especially since he was such a social media loser.

Top Ten Ways You Know Bin Laden
was a Social Media Loser

1. He was literally “living in a cave” for years.
2. He started a profile on Facebook, but there was no way to input more than one wife.
3. His grandkids tried to get him on skype, but they could never verify with 100% certainty that it was really his voice.
4. He gave up Twitter when he found out the 72 virgins who were following him were fake.
5. He couldn’t figure out how to use Foursquare (Darn!).
6. He wanted a smartphone—but his parents said he’d have to earn it by getting a real job.
7. He gave up on email, because he kept getting “Your message cannot be sent to undisclosed recipients.”
8. He tried playing Farmville, but then he realized HE was the animal.
9. He tried a blog, but he forgot the password, and someone burned it with the trash.
10. With that beard, who would have dated him on e-harmony anyway?

Anyone have any to add?
