India Receives Intel That Terrorist Coconuts Want To Assassinate Obama

by Jack Stuef  

President Obama will be embarking on a trip tomorrow to visit his real constituency — the world’s foreigners — to size up, as all American presidents do, potential countries to invade. But recently some local Muslim produce heard about his refusal to wear a Muslim head-covering and became radicalized.

Officials in the Indian city of Mumbai (Bombay) have taken extraordinary measures to protect US President Barack Obama ahead of his visit.

In their effort to provide maximum security in the run-up to his visit on Friday, they have removed coconuts which may fall on his head from trees.

All coconuts around the city’s Gandhi museum have now been cut down, an official told the BBC.

Every year in India people are injured or even killed by falling coconuts.

Colonialism is to blame, as usual. And Indians murdering and eating these coconuts. [BBC via Wonkette operative "Limeylizzie"]

First they came for the coconuts, and I did not speak out, because I found them to be delicious.

MLHencken November 4, 2010 at 2:38 pm

He's really just going there for the samosas.

natoslug November 4, 2010 at 2:41 pm

mmmm . . . I just love champagne and orange juice . . . (don't judge me, I'm American, dammit! I can't be expected to keep all your fancy furrin foods that sound the same separate)

Ur doing it wrong.

You put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em both together
Put the lime in the coconut and you'll feel better,
Put the lime in the coconut, drink 'em both up,
Put the lime in the coconut and call me in the morning.

If there is one thing I love about America, it's the orange juice.

MLHencken November 4, 2010 at 2:50 pm

You're thinking Mimosa, which I also love. Samosa is a stuffed tetrahedral pastry with a savory filling.

Delicious!

natoslug November 4, 2010 at 2:55 pm

Filter the water first and you'll get the tetrahedrals and chlorine and such out. Or just use fresh-squeezed orange juice.

. . . and with that, I think I've taken my Dumb American routine a bit too far. Everybody knows orange juice comes from cans, and all squeezing will do is make a gooey mess of concentrate and paper.

Made from family members of a brutal Nicaraguan dictator.

elviouslyqueer November 4, 2010 at 3:06 pm

Today, we are all stuffed tetrahedral pastries with a savory filling.

natoslug November 4, 2010 at 3:12 pm

It's lunch here. I'd love to be stuffed with tetrahedral pastries with a savory filling, but all I've got is lamb stew and some porter.

kenlayisalive November 4, 2010 at 3:12 pm

Which still doesn't explain why some TeaTards wear those samosa shaped hats.

finallyhappy November 4, 2010 at 3:24 pm

A tetrahedral pastry- I have never heard it described like that(it's so mathematical- I usually just say fried dough around spicy potatoes and onions and a few peas). and how do you know he isn't going for channa masala or mutter paneer???

spooked911 November 5, 2010 at 12:08 pm

I love the "The Office" Diwali episode where Michael goes to an Indian function and takes a bite of a samosa thinking the Indian guy said it was a smore, and spits it out in disgust.

nounverb911 November 4, 2010 at 2:42 pm

I wish Florida would remove the coconuts from the trees too, I hate having to explain the dents to Hertz.

freakishlywrong November 4, 2010 at 2:46 pm

I wish we could remove all the wingnuts as well. I hate having to explain the stupid to Wonkateers.

Katydid November 4, 2010 at 3:13 pm

Why are the Florida wingnuts up in the trees?

transfatz November 5, 2010 at 12:05 am

Because it's Crists will.

TimeCubist November 4, 2010 at 2:56 pm

My sister once got hit by a falling cocønut.

kenlayisalive November 4, 2010 at 3:14 pm

Vastly different from Republican Senator Larry Craig's visits to Minneapolis, where the plan was to get hit in the chin by as many nuts as possible.

SayItWithWookies November 4, 2010 at 3:15 pm

Here in America we don't have enough people, and over in India they're making so many that they routinely let coconuts kill a few of them every year. If that AFA guy only converted to Hinduism maybe he could enjoy the blessings of a fertile populace as well.

SorosBot November 4, 2010 at 3:17 pm

Were the coconuts brought there by a swallow?

CrankyLttlCamperette November 4, 2010 at 4:31 pm

African or European?

SorosBot November 4, 2010 at 5:06 pm

I don't know – aaaaggghhh!

MiniMencken November 4, 2010 at 3:26 pm

Another angry Black man obsessing about coconuts! Coincidence? Check out the evidence for yourselves, sheeple, at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzyzXnxOeFc

Extemporanus November 4, 2010 at 10:24 pm

Thank you — I was hoping that would be sweet ol' Barry Husseinafonte, and you did not disappoint!

Limeylizzie November 5, 2010 at 9:20 am

Maybe the most beautiful man ever put on this earth.

fuflans November 4, 2010 at 3:38 pm

so this means our president is more of a pansyass than keith richards?

then again, i guess most everyone is.

BaldarTFlagass November 8, 2010 at 8:09 am

In Rolling Stones dressing room, drugs take you!

neiltheblaze November 4, 2010 at 4:49 pm

Friends don't let friends walk under coconut trees.

Come here a minute November 4, 2010 at 7:34 pm

Damn Limey foisting the "beeb" on us — if it's not on FOX news, it's crap!

Limeylizzie November 5, 2010 at 9:20 am

Auntie Beeb tells the trufe.

JustPixelz November 4, 2010 at 10:32 pm

If Mohammed Hussein won't come to the coconut, we must move the coconut to Mohammed Hussein.

Extemporanus November 4, 2010 at 11:06 pm

Coincidentally, "terrorist coconuts" is Michelle's tongue-in-cheek pet name for Barry's balls.

What she means when she offers to "climb" his "Socialist palm tree" I'll leave you to figure out on your own…

Lazy Media November 5, 2010 at 12:45 am

I'm seriously, dude, if you live somewhere warm enough to grow coconut palms, do NOT put one of those fuckin' things out to shade your sidewalk. People in the tropics just laugh off all the falling-coconut deaths, but Americans will sue the shit out of you if one of those things as much as grazes their Rascal mobility scooter.

PublicLuxury November 5, 2010 at 6:04 pm

Well at least they are trying to stop a food fight

brendanwynn November 8, 2010 at 2:13 pm

this is where our $200,000,000 a day is going!??

HistoriCat November 4, 2010 at 4:17 pm

"all I've got is lamb stew and some porter"
Not really feeling much sympathy for ya.

natoslug November 4, 2010 at 4:43 pm

Hey, I had to make the stew myself, and the Eel River Brewery Porter is organic, so it's probably full of dirt. It's tough being middle-class white and male.

DashboardBuddha November 4, 2010 at 7:06 pm

I feel bad for the lamb, though.

natoslug November 4, 2010 at 7:16 pm

Hey, I'm sure it lived a long, fulfilling life with lots of frolicking and deep thoughts before we bought it off the 4H kid and sent it to have its skull bashed in or throat slit or however the butcher decided to off it. And it tastes sooo good.
