Why you should probably hire an ad agency

From CNN:

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.

Um, ya think?

Other parts of this article that made me chuckle:

"They are planning on launching a jihad on the automotive market and their representatives would be wearing burqas ... ," said Adnan Mirza, director of the Columbus office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. "They mentioned the pope in there and also about giving rubber swords out to the kiddies -- really just reprehensible-type comments."

I know it's wrong, but I just can't help but laugh at the absurdity of even thinking of running a commercial like this. I'm also laughing a little at the idea of the sales guys wearing burqas handing out rubber swords to kids. But just a little.
