That's offensive on so many levels. You shouldn't joke about Arby's.

Look on the bright side, you'd actually have to acknowledge the holocaust for that ad campaign to make sense.

How could we forget the most important lesson of the Holocaust - to never let genocide happen to white people again??

Another reason to stay fat. I'd rather be a fat capitalist than a skinny nazi.

You mean we can't joke about the systematic murder of millions of people? Feh. Damn political correctness.
There goes my slavery-themed ad campaign idea.

No you wouldn't. It was just a really effective weight loss program. REALLY effective. That's the point they're making.
Y'know, I want to tell the Holocaust deniers that I wish they were right. I wish all those people weren't brutally slaughtered. So I appreciate the sentiment, but we don't get to choose what world to live in.

"A huge number people have researched or Googled ... our YouTube channel has shot up, our group page has got an hundred extra members in minutes and we have had about five times as many enquiries as before," he told arabianbusiness.com. "It has got to the point I am nervous that I can't cater for demand."

This is why I hate the internet. The douche says explicitly it still worked and he's getting tons more advertising than he could've ever hoped for without it.

Holocaust is a lie. That nice man who's fishing boat we just rescued said so.

Parkinson tweeted that "the guy who created it isn't with us any more."
Where is the quality control? No one ahead of this guy vetoed his campaign idea?
Man: I got a great idea about losing weight, we use Auschwitz and talk about burning calories away or melt them away. We can talk about language of the ad later.
Other Man: That's a great idea. No one will have a problem with that. It's funny.

You gotta admit, those Jews knew how to stay slim. It was all about diet and exercise.

I may just be speaking for myself, but going to the gym does make me pray for the sweet release of death.

Maybe they're saying that you can't let the Jews win on the weight-loss front?

If the only reason you want to go to the gym is to lose weight, save yourself a ton of money and just stop eating so much.

I don't know but I hear the bikram yoga rooms are real small. You can only fit two, three people max in each one.

I GIS'd Phil Parkinson from The Circuit Factory Dubai thinking I would come up with some Arab dude that Americanized his name but instead came up with this guy who arrived at the gym 26 minutes ago.
