@Nonilex except none of his results could be replicated and the entire documentary has been retrospectively revealed to be mostly a scam.

Fast food isn't good for you, but the health problems he experienced weren't down to eating McDonalds.

has died and it seems like a good time to remind everyone that in 2008 he released a documentary called 'Where In The World is Osama Bin Laden?'

The reception to the film was negative. People didn't like that "the mcdonalds guy" was getting involved in political affairs, or that he was treating Osama like a subject for comedy. The reaction was overwhelmingly "stay in your lane".

Osama was found 3y later. The documentary pinpointed where he was hiding within less than 200km.
