...cold war, Vietnam and disco, after all--but in the world of advertising, there's gold in the past. In March, Burger King celebrated the 45th anniversary of the Whopper hamburger with an advertising ode to the ages, featuring basketball behemoth Shaquille O'Neal. In the commercial, Shaq enters a Burger King in the '50s, strolls through the restaurant during the '60s, then the '70s, and leaves, meal in hand, in today's world.

Even at six-two, that would make him stick out like Shaq in downtown Kandahar. Not to mention the fact that he's reputedly traveling with three wives and various offspring in tow. Still, bin Laden's height doesn't exactly make him a freak in the parts of the world from which he hails - remember, his father was Yemeni rather than Saudi, and al-Qaeda could conceivably have recruited scores where...
...Mike Bibby, G, Kings: Was fourth in the league in assists for an awful Grizzlies team; could lead the league this year. 2. Mitch Richmond, G, Lakers: Still a big-time scorer, and a perfect fit as the third scoring option when Kobe and Shaq need a break. 3. Patrick Ewing, C, Magic: Could the big guy finally get a championship ring...
