FINALLY…The Rock has come BACK to Abbottabad, PAKISTAN!
Time’s NewsFeed site reports on the widespread rumor that The Rock was among the first to receive and tweet the news via Twitter that American troops had killed Osama Bin Laden and dumped his body in the sea. (Talk about a burial!)
In a flurry of puns straight of Jerry Lawler’s joke book, the renowned publication cited the fact that Dwayne Johnson has a cousin in the Navy SEALS who has completed tours of Afghanistan, so it’s remotely possible that was his source.
NewsFeed writes: “In case you were, ahem, living under a rock and didn’t know, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson tweeted at 10:24 pm Eastern time on Sunday (more than an hour before Obama’s speech, which was at 11:35 pm Eastern) that he, ‘Just got word that will shock the world-LAND OF THE FREE…home of the brave. DAMN PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN.’ Impressive stuff from a man whose resume contains mention of professional wrestling and appearing in Tooth Fairy. And the tooth (sorry, truth) is possibly stranger than fiction as, according to The Daily, it turns out that Johnson’s cousin is a Navy SEAL and, reportedly, couldn’t contain himself with the confidential news.”
In a related story, “former Navy SEAL” Jesse Ventura is calling Bin Laden’s death yet another hoax unleashed on an unsuspecting U.S. public and promises a full investigation. In Ventura’s forthcoming book titled I’ll Bodyslam bin Laden in Hell, the two-time AWA Southern heavyweight champion claims that bin Laden died in 2007 while playing the potentially lethal backyard game Horseshoes and Hand Grenades with Pakistani neighborhood kids.
