Bernard Slattery has discovered a disturbing connection (Via Free Rebublic) between those meddling kids & everyone's favourite ex-dictator:

If we are going to investigate Arabic names we must therefore use phonetic spellings. Saddam’s sons then become Koosay, Eebay, and Ooday.

Now if we translate those names from Pig Latin back into English we have Skoo Bee Doo. Is this a veiled reference to the cartoon dog from the 1970s, Scooby Doo? Can it be anything but that? Well consider this. Scooby Doo’s final year of first-run shows was 1977. It was also in 1977 that Saddam Hussein came to power in the ruling Baath Party. Coincidence? You decide.

No more Scooby Snacks for you Bernard, I think you've had enough :)
