I don't understand why we have to be hypersensitive and politically correct all the time. Take for example this banned commercial.
All that it is trying to do is take the some current events - in this case suicide bombings - and parody them to promote a product - or its attribute (in this advertisement it is toughness)!! How is that wrong? Except for a typical telltale scarf, you can hardly make out the religion of the driver who blows himself up. There is no other overt indication of his religion!
So, it is NOT clear to me as to why this commercial was banned. Maybe, i'm missing something!
