31. In line with Brother Ahmadinejads Holocaust cartoon contets
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (01.06.12)
32. Imagine the outrage,the threats,the terror attacks if Arab
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (01.06.12)
suffering was trivialised? It would be front page outrage in all, the leftist media and politicians that chose to ignore or downplay this as they do the victims of Islamists genocide in Sudan or the Horn of Africa and elsewhere
33. Completely acceptable
Paul ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (01.06.12)
as 'branding' for a business in an Islamic country. After centuries of hatred, and modern-day dehumanization of Jews, I doubt very much whether anyone in the Muslim world would find this offensive. Especially since Holocaust denial is more prevalent in Muslim countries than anywhere else in the world. This guy will probably get offers from advertising agencies for his brilliant marketing acumen.
34. advertisement blunders
Rogerlen ,   usa/israel   (01.06.12)
1. those 1.3 million people were singled out because of being a Jew. 2. Phil Parkerson should have looked carefully at the ads before he posted them as HE SHOULD have known how offensive it would be for many folks.. and what mind set uses a picture of a toilet full of feces as advertisement for a bootcamp like setting. most people now days do not even know what a concentration camp is or a boot camp is. boot camp would be more associated with the military. and a pic of guys going in over weight and coming out normal weight woud have been more appropriate. the creative guy really needs to rethink his mindset as he is really off the ball on this one. or was Mr. Parkerson the one that chose and posted the ads. any college student would have made him an ad wotthy of a Dubai Gym...
35. Phil ""Parkinson"" & his ""creative guy"""
tiki ,   belgium   (01.06.12)
Real 'degenerates with a total disfunctional brain system.
36. Creative guy had been told where to go...
rebecca ,   Modiin   (01.06.12)
Does that mean he was fired after the job, or that the original directive was "be as offensive as possible to get attention"? If the latter, well he certainly did as directed, and not just with the one ad.
37. #1
(01.06.12)
I am not a Jew yet I do find it extremely offensive.
38. How low can you get !
world citizen ,   everywhere.   (01.06.12)
39. personally
David ,   USA   (01.06.12)
What side of the fence did you fall out from? Where are the morals that you should hold for humanity? There are those that are brain dead, and there are those that have no intellect. Where do you fit in?
40. Lighten up idiots...
Marco ,   Spain   (01.06.12)
The alleged number of holocaust victims is not going to change as a result of some ones PR campaign...
41. Holocaust jokes should be left to Jews and Jews alone.
Henry from New York ,   USA   (01.07.12)
We make the only decent ones after all. Goyim just tend to mess them up (except that one German guard tower joke) and an unfunny joke benefits no one.
42. Nothing like goose-stepping to tone the glutes.
Az   (01.14.12)
I think that's Conan O'Brien or something making fun of Aaahnold.
