Personally I think it is quite funny, but people, especially muslims, with their track record with the pope's latest comments, will probably overreact....you know whats funny...I'm christian and when I hear SOME jokes about christians, it makes me laugh, otherwise the other ones are just plain out disgusting and distasteful. Depending on the seriousness of a fatwa, I think that would probably be uncalled for. Otherwise who cares, its a joke, lighten up.

So what do you think guys? Is It funny, or disrespectful, or both???The Article wrote:
A car dealership's planned radio advertisement that declared "a jihad on the automotive market" has drawn sharp criticism for its content but will not be changed, the business said Saturday.
Several stations rejected the Dennis Mitsubishi spot, which says sales representatives wearing "burqas" _ head-to-toe traditional dress for Islamic women will sell vehicles that can "comfortably seat 12 jihadists in the back."
"Our prices are lower than the evildoers' every day. Just ask the pope!" the ad says. "Friday is fatwa Friday, with free rubber swords for the kiddies." A fatwa is a religious edict.
