Jihad car sale!!! - upsets US Muslims.
CINCINNATI (Reuters) - A car commercial proclaiming a jihad on the U.S. auto market and offering "Fatwa Fridays" with free swords for the kids is offensive and should not be aired, Muslim leaders said on Sunday.
The radio advertisement for the Dennis Mitsubishi car dealership in Columbus, Ohio, has "a whole jihad theme," said Adnan Mirza, director of the Columbus office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
"They are planning on launching a jihad on the automotive market and their representatives would be wearing burqas ... ," Mirza said. "They mentioned the pope in there and also about giving rubber swords out to the kiddies -- really just reprehensible-type comments."
Details of the radio ad, which has not yet been broadcast, have been reported in the local media, but officials at the dealership declined to comment about the content of the radio spot.
Two employees at the dealership said they had been deluged with calls about the commercial.
"The ad has never been released, it is not out for public listening," said one employee who declined to give his name. He would not say whether the dealership had changed its mind about airing the commercial.
Tokyo-based Mitsubishi Motors Corp. could not immediately be reached for comment.
Mirza said several local radio stations had already rejected the ad and he hoped the controversy would convince the dealership to rethink its sales strategy.
He also said the Council on American-Islamic Relations would likely contact the dealer to "offer some kind of cultural or sensitivity awareness training."

i agree, lots of things are funny... but some things are pushing it, i may have laughed at that commercial if it was made by a muslim, but if it wasnt... i would have thought its a disgrace! (btw- i havent seen the commercial so i can comment on it)

Yeah next week's special will feature the salesmen dressed in SS and Hitler outfit's and instead of swords for the kids we'll give them tattoos of numbers on their forearms
Let's see how lightly people take that

this thread is gay, ****in' delete it.....
All you people that complain about your rights, just shut up !
The end result is that it will always happen and no1 is right.
We are all shown as bad people....
Muslims - *********
Germans - ****'s
White- ****in' rednecks
Blacks - Bank robbers
Do you see Matt or any other black person on this board complaining when a bank robber video is posted? No, they laugh, because they know that isn't everyone, and we also know that this is the same with these muslim terrorists, so just shut the hell up!
Its called marketing, and it sells because people will watch ! What people like, marketers will bring !

why dont you STFU first steve...lol
Being called a redneck is not equal to being unjustly BLAMED being a ********* and worse...the community as a whole.
Matt may not complain after watching the black bank robber cuz that robber is obviously doing the wrong thing...which is similar to the majority of muslims who denounce any form of ********* attacks.
So all is not the same and there is a definitive difference.

My point is that you shouldn't just laugh at it or not care as much because it is not you, its someone else, just because they look the same, or whatever, doesn't mean its you...
That is all for today.....work is done
