    Sort of funny, actually, it's obviously meant to draw attention, but might backfire. They must be desperate for sales...

    Right after Sept 11, KPRC 950 was repeatedly playing a racist parody of "Proud to be an American" mimicking people who lived in Afghanistan. Funny thing is, it was catchy as hell.

    as the clutchfans sayings go:

    SIGH, another win for the jihadists

    or

    Jihadists: 874,632 Americans: 1




    the campaign is insensitive, and borderline ignorant but who cares. they're now getting more press, and attention (for free) than if they had just advertised it. besides that fact, what's the breakdown of muslims buying cars from that dealership? i doubt his business would suffer if he loses those clients.

    another thing thats wrong with america today is all of these groups such as the American-Islamic Relations who are trying to do good by improving relations. a good goal, but ultimately fails. i don't want to sound like i'm picking on AIR, this is actually the first time i've ever heard of them, but
    you get groups much like lulac they just seperate themselves from the greater collective of americans as a whole. the whole point of this country is a melting pot to mix ideas, then you get these groups that complain and want to be seperated from the general population.
