Funny adds being placed in NYC, Michelle Gellar must be furious.

NEW YORK – A series of humorous ads promoting a film about Muslims are appearing in New York City subway stations five months after a federal judge ruled the ads should go up.
The two comedians who directed the film and created the ad campaign say they are thrilled that subway riders can finally see the advertisements, which poke fun at negative stereotypes of Muslims.
"The narrative that's generally out there is that Muslims are dusty people wandering in the desert wielding weapons," said Negin Farsad, one of the comedian/directors. "We wanted to give at least one other image of Muslims."
What would be interesting would be "Muslim comedians" poking fun at Muslim culture the way other cultures poke fun at themselves. Jewish comedians have gotten laughs about "Jewish mothers" for generations. Catholic comedians--vicious nuns. Southern comedians--"you may be a redneck..." African American comedians, Asian comedians, Hispanic comedians, etc., all get laughs poking fun at their own cultures. What the world needs is a Muslim Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, or Jeff Foxworthy.
Meh. Someone should by advertising space for the KKK in NYC. Far less violent than Islam.
Most likely, they saw anger will not get them million muslims strong, but if they show Americans kindness or that they can be funny, we will never notice when they are a billion muslim strong.
I wonder why they come to America and try to convince Americans to like their culture? Which country is it that practices Islam, is the land of comedy? Which one is it that the women have the right to keep their sexual parts?
Political and religious ads were banned entirely from the transit system following a fierce debate on Wednesday, about a week after a federal judge ordered the MTA to allow anti-Muslim posters.
Nearly naked people are all over billboards. I've never driven down Sunset or Hollywood Blvd and noticed a specific ad. It's all a blur.
Put it up in Fargo, ND and someone may notice.
Not true. We are stuck on subways with ads staring right at us.
