An alternate explanation is it is intended for the Malaysian market.
The only other reference to 'sunbeamtech and "bin laden"' on google
indicates it is not sold in the UK.
Please do not pretend there is no market for such things.

Well, I feel squirrelly about my decision as well. It struck me very
much as something one would do in a totalitian state, very Orwellian.
However, I wrote the company and told them what I did. If there is
nothing wrong going on, all will be quickly forgotten as just another
wierd thing that happened. If there is some criminal activity occuring,
then I did the right thing. If there is no criminal activity but merely
some gallows humor, then PLONKING them publicly serves a purpose. If
it's intended to be a target, then I'm full of shit.
My chinese friends tell me the word on the street in Shanghai (videos of
WTC with rap songs behind them) and I hear of the Malaysian PM's
comments and I read of the general tenor of the Islamic Asian countries,
and I feel confident that shit needs to be stirred up.
It's worth it.
