ah racially insensitive ads.. hey why not an irish dude? You know the last bombers in the US were white caucasians. Why not a militia man?

Hey Joe,

I didn't see it as racial at all. He's a car bomber. Was he Arab, Italian, Greek? I don't know. I just saw a Darwin Award in progress.

Let's *blog it. I'll be happy to take it down if I misread it.

why not an irish dude? Why not a militia man?
Umm... yeah. Everyone knows how popular suicide bombings are among the IRA and white militants.

There is no problem with this ad. I think JD's issue is more with VW and not your selection, although I don't agree with his oversensitivity anyway. (Would it also be offensive to show a black man playing basketball or a Japanese man sumo wrestling or an Asian man eating a dog?)

In other news, I have seen this before and think it may be a dupe, but I may be wrong.

Thanks, Lucky,

I know I've seen it before, but I checked around the site and couldn't find it.

Onward . . .

A search using "vw" located the original. It still works.
