This was on the front page of MSNBC.com today:

Great question! But, no. Those look like monkey bars to me. Terrifying monkey bars, obviously, but monkey bars nonetheless.

I love how much airtime those monkey bars get. Literally every time the news talks about terrorism, cut to monkey bars. You know the main Jihadi trainer was telling the cameraman, “We have trampolines, dude! Get some trampoline footage! No? Well, how about over there, the goat’s head tetherball? Oh, I see, you’re just going to film the monkey bars? This is why we hate you people.”

I also think it’s kind of ironic that terrorist basic training is the exact same thing as those grade school Presidential fitness tests, only you have to wear a hood the whole time. Actually, that’s probably even better because no one can point and laugh at you when you start crying.

What I’m saying is if you have to do a Flexed-Arm Hang to join Al-Qaeda, they can count me out. I hate that shit. 

That’s more like it.

Oh, and speaking of monkey bars (it’s about a minute in, or so):
