In before someone screams "political correctness gone made" :roll eyes: Though, I don't know why people would find that offensive. Ridiculing backwoods...backdesert terrorists.
God that was actually funny. I might have to start watching SNL again. Anyone who doesn't think it's funny is insane.
Why are people shaming SNL but not a car company that makes an ad that has nothing to do with a car? Clearly Subaru was trying to tug at your heart strings with an ad that makes little sense. Make fun of terrorism/terrorists? Not OK. Try and sell a car through thinly veiled patriotism? Totally cool. Got it.
Maybe I'm a prude with no sense of humor for saying this, but here goes (btw, this is D&D all the way): It's really easy for us as Americans to laugh at this and think it's hilarious from our cushy suburban houses, but if any of us were able to actually glimpse for a second that pure evil that these guys are made of, the unthinkable acts that they are committing RIGHT NOW, I think your opinion of what's funny would change. It's one thing if the sketch/parody would have ridiculed the group, but it really wasn't disparaging in any way. I wouldn't say they were glamorizing ISIS, but I feel like they were making light of a situation that they just shouldn't have. The sketch doesn't anger me, I'm just saying I wouldn't have done it.
