wouldn't the presence of Carrot Top lead to MORE suicides?
 
2006-05-22 11:21:39 AM
I'd think that Gallagher would be more appropriate.

"you alright, i learned it by watching you!"

parents who suicide bomb have children who suicide bomb.

A simulated suicide bombing will be filmed in downtown Los Angeles this weekend in a campaign by prominent Iraqis

In other news, suicide bombers listen to the Jew-loving traitors who got their wealth from an alliance with the Great Satan, and run mewling into his arms for protection from God's Army.

if they could morph it into an ipod commercial, it might have an effect
 
2006-05-22 11:55:45 AM
Given the great success of other government PSAs, this should really solve the problem.

/Just say no to suicide bombing.
//Friends don't let friends become suicide bombers.

From TFA
"This is about saving lives," he said. "If we do our job right, it is quite possible this could be the way to stop suicide bombing."img.fark.com

I knew CT's pubes would end up in here.
 
2006-05-22 01:24:47 PM
I am sorry, but I don't think they are really going to appreciate the fact that its made in hollywood. Just my guess.
 
2006-05-22 01:25:25 PM
Yea, but if Hollywood is involved, it will get rewritten to have a happy ending.
 
2006-05-22 01:26:23 PM
Actually I think this is a stroke of genius. If you've ever owned a pair of underoos or a ronco food dehydrator, you know I'm right. Who in his right mind would have ever bought one of those idiotic things if it weren't for boob-tube ads?
 
2006-05-22 01:27:13 PM
Why don't they just commission a song from Big Fun.
 
2006-05-22 01:27:45 PM
Well, we can only hope he'd star in it. Without stunt doubles.
 
2006-05-22 01:27:58 PM
These ads will put the suicide bombers in thier last throes.

All that will be left are pockets of *dead enders.


(the term "suicide bomber" may be subtituted for "dead enders")

"If we do our job right, it is quite possible this could be the way to stop suicide bombing."

We made this an impossibility the on a fateful day in March 2003. As long as we are in Iraq, there will be suicide bombings.

A grim reality, but someone has to acknowledge it. Anyone else saying otherwise is delusional.

This'll have about as much of an effect as the anti-smoking and anti-drug ads (read: nil).
 
2006-05-22 01:30:31 PM
Ad should say:

"We are all out of virgins. And allah doesn't give a crap. Mohammed was gay."
 
2006-05-22 01:31:17 PM
You know that 72 virgin thing...

2006-05-22 01:32:56 PM
Maybe they could prevent suicide bombers by saying, "Hey, at least you don't live in America! YOUR oppressive tyrant is gone!"
 
2006-05-22 01:33:13 PM
"If you blow yourself up in the next 15 minutes, Allah will throw in two virgins absolutely free!"

I wonder what the femal suicide bombers expect from Allah. They get brand new cooking utensils, the right to speak, and renewed and permanent virginity?

I think Iraqis already know more about this than they're going to learn from a stupid "made-for-the-U.S.-public" video.

CNN, Fox, ABC shows the results of attacks as burning cars, blackened pavements, and palls of smoke.

Al Jazeera and the local Arab media shows the piles of red-streaked flesh that used to be people, and the people trying to stuff their guts back into their bellies as they cry for their mothers.

To think that you can actually do a VIDEO to "capture the moment" of an attack and somehow think that's going to make people stop is stupid. It's like a stupid vanilla PSA.

The actual reality is probably 1000 times worse than anything that Hollywood can produce.

Where do you think the virgins come from?

That.Was.Awesome.

That was good too.
 
2006-05-22 01:36:31 PM
this is your brain on suicide...
any questions?
 
2006-05-22 01:37:09 PM
Yeah, let's reach out to the terrorists with a feel good anti-bombing commercial.

The terrorists are doubled up in painful laughter as we speak.

Holy shiat!

In other news, I wonder if this will be like the anti-smoking ads. "When you suicide bomb, you aren't just hurting yourself...
 
2006-05-22 01:39:03 PM
I guess its fair to call him "Carrot Bottom" as well, from the looks of things...

/the bleach, it does nothing
 
2006-05-22 01:39:28 PM
GodsTumor: You know that 72 virgin thing...

Shouldn't that be 72 pictures of Carrot Top? The thought of that would definitely put people off the idea of martyrdom.
 
2006-05-22 01:40:53 PM
Something tells me that the average Iraqi is not glued to the idiot box. This is a great idea!

/Yes, I watch TV.
//Picky about what I watch.

At least it's not a friggin' musical -- "The Sound of C-4", say.
 
2006-05-22 01:44:42 PM
Ah television. Is there no problem that we have that someone doesn't try using TV to solve ?

I remember watching that before and saying. "No...no...don't!...not!...get away....Nooooooo!...ah, shiat.

This won't do anything. It's sorta like Pee Wee Herman warning about crack cocaine.
 
2006-05-22 01:51:51 PM
i'll be pumped if it's anything like this

//herp albert + david hasslehoff > carrot top
 
2006-05-22 01:51:54 PM
I think it will encourage the bombers. Thye will get a better idea of just how much pain and devestation they can create.
 
2006-05-22 01:59:06 PM
Yes, I'm sure years of brainwashing to a point of suicidal religious fanatacism can all be cleared away with just a clever MARKETING CAMPAIGN!

Just how many rediculous ideas are we going to fall back on before we finally admit we made a mistake?

Hideously Gigantic Smurf :

Well...maybe it can be. If you think about it, all any religion is, is a viral marketing campaign. They seem to be pretty successful with the "jihad" marketing and recruitment strategy in those parts of the world, so if we can come up with something that's as popular as "kill Jew-backing Americans!" we could stand to make major inroads in the Mullahs' market share, right?
 
2006-05-22 02:13:07 PM
no, seriously, this is the way to go. clever marketing campaigns have worked to make millions of americans buy stuff that is completely useless... surely they can also keep people from doing things that are potentially very very painful.

this post brought to you by coca-cola and the gilette six farking blade razor (because 4 blades couldn't cut it).

"Come to America, become a hedonistic, valueless consumer, THEN kill yourself! You'll still be dead, but you'll have had a chance to play with all this neat stuff! (Even the 9/11 hijackers visited strip joints and drank booze!)"

Or fried eggs telling me not to get stoned. Usually made me want to eat some eggs and bacon.

derka derka.

Oh you know what, I was going to blow myself up at the market today, but damnit the production value of that ad was so stunning I shall go help out at the hospital today.

/mmm bacon.

They need to get Lionel Richie to do it. His songs make Iraqi men cry like little girls.

I've been alone disarming your bobms and mines
And in my binoculars I've watched you deploy an IDE a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?

I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're bombs are all I've ever wanted, (and) my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, Don't use a bomb and I won't use my planes to blow up you ...

I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes I think I hear a bomb start to blow
Hello, I've just got to let you know

'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere making bombs, or is some one trying to blow up you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying, Don't bomb me up or I'll have to blow up you ...

Hello, is it me you're looking for?

I'm surprised that Iraqis are behind this and paid American producers to make the ad. I was led to believe by the media that all the foreigners hated us. I guess the rich ones dont. They must want some kind of economic stability there or something.
Go figure.
 
2006-05-22 02:54:31 PM
Sounds like something your average potential suicide bomber would get a chubby over. I could see them posting it on loop on that hypothetical .xxx domain and jerking off to that instead of the filthy, hateful flesh of a *shudder* female.

Those who deliberately kill people who've never done anything to them are not human. I can understand--not approve of, but understand--killing a cheating spouse or the man who killed your daughter, but random people on the street? I don't care what religion you are, that earns you a one-way ticket to any hell that might exist... if there's any justice in the world, which there isn't. This world is so back to front, they probably *do* get rewarded for their evil.
