Without Further Comment #3

Some Columbus radio stations have rejected as insensitive an advertisement for a car dealership that invokes Islamic references...In the spot, Keith Dennis of Dennis Mitsubishi talks about "launching a jihad on the automotive market."

Sales representatives "will be wearing burqas all weekend long," the ad says. One of the vehicles on sale "can comfortably seat up to 12 jihadists in the back."

"Our prices are lower than the evildoers’ every day. Just ask the pope! " the ad says. "Friday is fatwa Friday, with free rubber swords for the kiddies."

    This only offends me in that it is an ineffective advertising campaign. Weak attempts at politically pointed satire don't really incite me to buy your automotive products. Bad commercials. Bad, bad commercials.

    I agree.



    Except for "Friday is Fatwa Friday." That's hilarious. I'd buy a Corolla on Fatwa Friday anyday!
