Well of course they did:

The evidence, according to an actual professional news anchor and not merely a Reddit thread: During the Party Posse’s video for “Drop Da Bomb,” a vehicle is briefly glimpsed bearing the flag of the Syrian opposition. That vehicle is da-bombed, the soldiers surrounding it magically transformed into the sexy bikini girls who are even now fighting to overthrow the Ba’athist government and violently seize their basic human rights to play tetherball. The reporter reminds viewers that this all aired in 2001, “before there was such a thing as the Syrian opposition.’ The flag was created before the events took place. That’s why people are saying on Facebook that this is a conspiracy.”

Anything to deflect from the real awfulness Egyptians have inflicted on themselves and on each other.
