The civilized man wears a suit and looks like us, while the savage is poor and brown

[Strike For The South]

Are people really moved by these ads?

[Greyblades]

What ads? For god's sake your turning into frags.

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

Context please!

[Gregoshi]

Context is overrated - and confining. ~;)

[Rhyfelwyr]

We're getting worse, at least there used to be the noble savage.

[Lemur]

A quick Google suggests our Strike is referring to this (http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/09/28/jews-respond-to-savage-subway-ads.html).

[Major Robert Dump]

Freedom of Speech is a real bitch

[Kadagar_AV]

Quality OP?

Ah, so like the ads a few months back encouraging expat Israelis to leave America and return to Israel before their children forget Hebrew, then.

[HoreTore]

I am always in favour of desecrating ads.

Always.

[Papewaio]

From the link provided looks like the ads backfired.

Every person has an opinion and every person an arsehole. Some people miss the toilet bowl with their bowel movements, their opinions are about as delightful as these missed fecal missiles. Some people's opinions make them come across as rear-ends.

... Or heroes.

Depends on what group you ask?

I'm not sure the majority in, say, Tel Aviv would agree with you. Is Tel Aviv even the capital by the way? I just found out I have no idea what the capital city of Israel is!!

I could google it, of course. But the mere fact that we talk about a religiously fanatical nation and its sycophant supporters.... I honestly can't be bothered.

Until Israel have the ability to make a (very much so) educated guy remember what the **** the capital is, I'd say they have bigger problems than subway adds.

[Greyblades]

Interesting that israeli propaganda is freely displayed on american bilboards.

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

Free Speech, innit.

Depends who you ask. Most Israelis and American Jews will say Jerusalem. Others will say Tel Aviv. The US Embassy is in Tel Aviv. Personally, I think its up to the government of country what the capital is. A capital is the city where the seat of government sits, which is Jerusalem in this case. So I think its Jerusalem.

But Tel Aviv should be the capital. Lovely city, and awesome beaches.

Ahhhh, the power of AIPAC.

[Papewaio]

All state capitals in Australia or on the beach.

So when it came time for the federal capital to be placed we naturally put it inland.

As for the ads I can see the same thing in Germany 1936 with the byline:

Support Germany not religious traitors.

Most of us make the mistake that technology = civilization & religion = stone age beliefs.

Nazi Germany did, so do these ads.

Legally, the Capital is still Tel Aviv from the point of view of the UN et al. because Israel holds East Jerusalem illegally - to my knowledge no other country recognises Jerusalem as the Capital.

Except that it is Israel that is the homogeneous religious state and Palestine which is the Nationalist and secular state.

[Hax]

What I find far more striking about the ads is that it implicitly connects anti-Israeli positions as jihadi, which is pretty dumb.

[Major Robert Dump]

You guys have been punked.

The OP is not about the ads at all LOL

Only as dumb as anti-Israel = anti-Semitic.

Not so much "punked", as trying to get something meaningful out of a useless OP.

Strike was making a commentary on how Hip Hop artists are often ripped off my music industry executives

Well, good. I'm pretty sure they put the money to better use than hip-hop artists...

[Major Robert Dump]

Strike is considering going into the hip hop industry, he is recording an album right now, but he could only get the funding if he did the album in Spanish, so it will have limited release. He has seen first hand how The Man is basically infringing on the Brown People's accumulation of Bling.

It's not Israeli, Jewish and Israeli groups have distanced themselves from it. These were designed and paid for by anti-Muslim blogger and activist Pamela Geller.

I don't know what's worse. Both of them are pretty dumb.

I'd like to see that, imho there haven't been any good rappers since Gilles de la Tourette
