  1. I'm not offended ... then again I'm not Jewish ... but it's really an unfortunate ad ... don't know if it's intentional or not but the star of David really is a topper. People who designed it really should have known better.

    It's not a fucking Star of David. It's meant to look like a sheriff's badge. Maybe the people who designed the ad didn't "know better" because they didn't realize the PC cops, Jewish or otherwise, were going to be going over it with a fine-toothed comb. Seriously, get a life.

    As Shockey The Jew :) said, arguing about it is pointless.

    The perception among a certain percentage of the general public is that it is or might be.


    As an advertiser, you don't want to alientate that percentage.

    Funny thing, I always get grumpy when dealing with stupid people who insist on acting as if they know what they're talking about.

    this jew wouldn't have thought anything of it if it wasn't pointed out to me. but then again i live in the south, where my people are thought to be a race, not a religious group. oh well.

    and shockey, i like the nickname. mine in high school was 'Air Jew' because of my athletic ability.
