Buy your anti-Osama T-shirts and mugs today!

The Sept. 11 attacks and Osama bin Laden triggered a new industry centered around airport security. Now, his death has triggered an uptick in the funny T-shirt business.

As news filtered out last night that U.S. special operations forces killed Osama bin Laden in Abottabad, Pakistan, people looking to capitalize on his death got to work – making T-shirts and coffee mugs.

A number of sometimes funny, generally patriotic and vaguely vulgar shirts have already gone on sale at online sites redbubble.com, cafepress.com and zazzle.com.

Charlie Sheen, Facebook, Where’s Waldo and some not-so-clever puns on Osama (and President Barack Obama’s) name are the most prolific. Here’re some of the ones that stand out, though if you buy one, don’t blame NewsFeed if you get a few eye rolls.
