um... Dubai?

is that the one at church and 24th...cause it says Israel...which i've got to be honest but i find more than a tad ironic given the current state of middle eastern affairs.

it does not say Israel, does it? oh my god, that is awesome.

The West Bank. I heard about it on the news.

I've seen a similar ad like that about several years ago, and the advertising company took it out a few weeks later.

It _IS_ Israel - and methinks that it is a more progressive (ooops! ...bad word) movement who is bankrolling the ads in hopes of changing US perception of what life is like in Israel.

Turns out that all Jews in Israel are NOT running around creating settlements in opposition to UN Security Council Resolution 242. Similarly all Arabs in Israel aren't hellbent on destroying the state of Israel.

Much like our own country, perceptions and news are created by a small percentage of the population. It's akin to other countries thinking that all US citizens are GWB incarnate. It's lazy intellect and far from reality.

or alternately : do they have Indian gaming in Israel??

[8] | 08/27/08 11:02AM

Um... World of Warcraft?

Hillary, i would agree with you for the most part, however, after having seen the toil that went into getting my friends grandmother out of the west bank because of bombings and harassment (she was given multiple notices that her home was now on "commercial" property and not fit to code) i have to still stand firm that there is conflict in the middle east, even if birthright trips manage to skim past most of it.

There are a few other Israel tourism ads around SF, so I guessed it immediately. What other Middle East country would be actively encouraging Americans to visit?

My favorite billboard, which isn't there anymore, showed four attractive young women walking down a street, arm in arm, laughing. The caption said "discover the real Israel".

I'm trying to arrange a housing swap for Tel Aviv in October, so apparently it worked on me.

Power Exchange. Bottom floor. obviously.

I'd say Sharm el-Sheik.

[13] | 08/27/08 02:29PM

In my pants, when I'm in the Middle East.

BlueStarPR

This ad of theirs is hilarious. Aside from the questionable aptness of comparing Israel's situation to the other 49 states ganging up on New Jersey, the fact that the attention-grabbing factor is basically "JEWS HAVE SMALL DONGS, LOL" seems a tad misguided. The absolute failure of a photoshop job is just icing on the cake.

jews, by and large (heh), have ginormous cocks. susie bright told me. so...there.

[16] | 08/27/08 04:37PM

I've heard both ways, and take stock in neither.

Still, it's really dodgy for an ad that's supposed to be about how awesome Israel is.

[17] | 08/27/08 04:45PM

Though I do concede that Googlefight favors "huge jew cock"

Can't get any more scientific than that.

If by "play" they meant "kill" the answer is:

EVERYWHERE
