Another Diversity Dithering Disaster

Warning: those of you in the PC crowd will not appreciate this post.

After recently declaring “jihad” on the automarket, a car dealership in Columbus Ohio has been at the center of another censorship campaign run by the diversity elites.

Keith Dennis, the owner of Dennis Mitsubishi, sought to release an ad campaign with a tongue-in-cheek spoof on terrorists. I think it’s flat-out funny! The radio commercials begin by announcing war on the sales competition by offering irresistable prices. Plus, one of the featured vehicles comfortably seats up to 12 jihadists in the back. Dennis is heard in the commercial to say: “Our prices are lower than the evildoers’ every day. Just ask the Pope! Friday is fatwa Friday, with free rubber swords for the kiddies.”

Unfortunately, many radio stations refuse to air the ad because it does not “promote the values of diversity.” I think this is quite an ironic and telling statement about those in the hippie PC crowd. They have hijacked the word diversity and recast it to mean promotion of only those views they like. If they were honest about their love for diversity, they wouldn’t detest the diverse approach of making a parody of terrorism.

Also, the Columbus president of CAIR has spoken out against the ads because the “tone and imargery [are] mocking and disrespectful to many different areas.” What is he saying? As far as I can tell, the ads only mock terrorists. Is this wrong? If it is, why? What ever happened to real humor?� This ad is only a spoof! Was it so wrong for Mel Brooks to write Springtime for Hitler? I don’t think so. But hey, I’m not overly sensitive to murderers.

The so-called “diversity” crowd won the dispute. Dennis pulled the commercials. Two cheers for another diversity victory.� Aren’t you so glad the diversity elites are protecting our rights to say what we want.
