1. Another positive way to attract tourists to Turkey?

2. useless
Fenerli ,   TURKEY   (03.27.12)
I dont need silly political irony TV ads because we suffer from terrorism at the moment. We have seen last week in France, Israel, Turkey. Some people deeply want my DEATH AND PAIN. but I have a question. How will the boss of the subject company look his Jewish colleagues in Turkey ( in trade councils, fairs..etc) cos some Aerosol company owners are Turkish Jew. Maybe he wants to play mainly on domestic market and ME only and lost his faith on export cos of cheap Chinese products and tightening European market. Profiting from political issues is disgusting. We dont need anti-Semitism protection laws already our Social security is collapsing with Erdogan. Who cares whom? I'm alone in this world and I'm very happy.
3. Turkish Idiots
tiki ,   belgium   (03.27.12)
A bloody war, in which more than 70 million people got killed, from which 6 million Jews for being Jews....is being (mis)used by the worlds most cruel dictators & their helpers for their own benefit. These new "humanists of the world make a big bruhaha over every dead terrorist murderer, but have no qualms whatsoever to let the victims (all victims) of that horrible war, being trampled on. The HRC/HRW & all the other NGO's hypocrites could, for instance do the 'right thing for a change and open their mouth for a 'rightious thing. The Baroness, could use her head for a change and open her mouth to let the 'right words flow out of it for a change (her countrymen were killed to). It's always Israel & Jewish organisations who are opening their mouth to stop 'dishonoring the victims. The 'rightious' people of the world should join them.
4. it's society is tested...
Chinaman ,   Sydney Aust   (03.27.12)
Is a sign of evil and the society is tested.....monitor their sales and Israel must be vigilant! GOD bless Israel and Jews.
5. I honestly do not see any problem with
Israeli 2   (03.27.12)
showing ERDOGAN on a Turkish commercial. That was Erdogan acting as Hitler (Yem.Sh.) He looks like him and he talks and acts like him.
6. Like HRH Prince Harry of Wales wearing a Nazi SS uniform
Ibrahim ,   Turkey   (03.27.12)
7. hitler saw how the world kept quiet during
jason white ,   afula,israel   (03.27.12)
the turkish massacre of the Armenians and used that as an example of how the world would keep quiet for his "final solution" of the Jews.
8. @5
sipahi ,   Istanbul   (03.27.12)
Are you talking about our prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who has been given "Courage Award" by the American JEWISH Committee in 2004?
9. He has same moustache as Erdogan
Sami ,   New York, USA   (03.27.12)

11. apologies
anton ,   Istanbul   (03.27.12)
12. Anton,Sipahi, Ibrahim
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (03.27.12)
Anton: thank you sincerely for showing the decency of apologizing for a shameful act that you did not do but a thoughtless Turkish company did. It is very noble of you that shows that we may disagree but still be respectful of each other. Sipahi. Yes the same Erdogan. When he pretended to be friendly, Jews believed and showed apreciation. However Erdogan changed after that. It only shows that his fake friendship was nothing but takkiye. Ibrahim, Yes prince Harry also unfortunately. Thanks for reminding but we already know. My question to you: if prince Harry also did it is it Ok for others also to do the same bad?
13. Let's use Marimara to sell cruise tickets!

15. thank you Anton @ 11
Dudu ,   IL   (03.27.12)
accepted (from me)
16. I've seen it. Ad is in bad taste and
leo ,   usa   (03.27.12)
is most likely backfire business-wise, but I see not reason to get upset.
17. to 8 yes he was.
ygalg ,   israel   (03.27.12)
american jewish committee, apparently not a bright organization.
18. Go figure some Turks! They may get sales from
meghan ,   israel   (03.27.12)
certain eliments, but I am sure it wont be just us jews that are offended by this very stupid ad. Think of all the others apart from our own that were also slaughtered due to this fanatical insane piece of slime. Should sell in Iran I guess! After all for those turds there was no holocaust. And hey Turks, for hitler you were also defects!
19. I think its funny
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (03.27.12)
What is more fitting for this man then selling cheap shampoo in Turkey? It reminds me of Mel Brook's "The Producers".
20. not surprising
mehrdad ,   germany   (03.27.12)
what do you expect from a facist society? most of the turks refuse to accept their own holocaust against christians and also hitlers book "mein kampf" is very popular there like in the rest of the islamic facist world.
21. Why am I not surprised
A ,   Belgium   (03.27.12)
that Turkey would come up with something ignorant like this? Shikelgruber was one of Erdogans heros most likely.
22. #8 sipahi
solomon ,   bklyn   (03.27.12)
Yes, we are talking about your prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who supported the IHH in their attempt to break a legal blockade and then called Israelis murderers when they defended themselves. 2004? Erdogan has changed in 8 years. I’m sure the AMERICAN JEWISH committee would withdraw the award if they could. To show you how bad this is, read post # 11.
23. #11 anton
solomon ,   bklyn   (03.27.12)
Is that really you? I assume you haven't turned over a new leaf, but it's encouraging to know that some things are too much for even you. Peace.
24. David and solomon
anton ,   istanbul   (03.27.12)
David you dont have to thank me it was mindless act on our part solomon, yes its me
25. #24 - I think something was lost in translation.
Henry from New York ,   USA   (03.27.12)
26. Then, buy no Turkish !
No more Turkish ,   products !   (03.28.12)
Some of the Turkish products on the shelves of our supermarkets or in several shops are adequate and one cannot blame the whole Turkish people for some lame and rabid anti-Semitic commercial. But one can surely blame the Turkish politicians and the extremist atmosphere they managed to bring into Turkish public life, their passionate anti-Semitic and especially anti Israeli rethoric. All these and many other weird political alliances Turkey has pledged to lately (i.e. Iran) have all been pushing Turkey to the abyss of Europe and turning her more and more redundant in the eyes of the world. What a shame ! Turkey needs a modern, pragmatic, non-islamist political management. And one more thing: anti-Semitism has never paid off in the world. The perpetrators have always had to pay themselves !
27. #25 henry re: #24
solomon ,   bklyn   (03.28.12)
I do not think something was lost in translation. I think I understand anton's posts very well. I am not sure I understand your meaning.
28. #27 - oh, ha ha! I thought he was talking about the Kings...
Henry from New York ,   USA   (03.28.12)
29. badt taste, but still kinda funny
Brooklyn Dave ,   Brooklyn, New York   (03.28.12)
First off, I'm a grandson of Holocaust survivors. The commercial IS in total bad taste, but guess what, something can be in bad taste and Still be funny. It's not too different from the meme on youtube with a clip of from the German movie "Downfall", which depicts Hitler's last days, and there's a scene with Hitler yelling at his generals and ranting and raving. A lot of people put clips on youtube with fake subtitles (the movie is in German) and changed it to Hitler yelling about something totally different. Sometimes the subtitles are funny, sometimes not, and yes, it's always poor taste. And again, often humor is in poor taste but still funny.
30. Never fail to make my jaw drop to the floor ,...
snag ,   USA   (03.29.12)
