An official Dutch government production, believe it or not. Hirsi Ali may be gone but some of that infidel spirit remains. Click the image to watch.

Update: Dude.

Brilliant! “Take it easy, man!”

robblefarian on December 27, 2007 at 3:43 PM

LOL. I do not believe celebritory fire is as much a problem in Amsterdam as it is in other places.

BohicaTwentyTwo on December 27, 2007 at 3:47 PM

Sweet. Holland will be the last man standing in Europe.

TexasDan on December 27, 2007 at 3:50 PM

Hilarious!

kcluva on December 27, 2007 at 3:50 PM

“Liberation Army Against Freedom ”

Islam in a nutshell. Give that Dutchman a cigar.

BL@KBIRD on December 27, 2007 at 3:55 PM

Brilliant!

Timothy S. Carlson on December 27, 2007 at 3:58 PM

There are four or so in that series of PSAs on Youtube. All funny as hell.

TBinSTL on December 27, 2007 at 4:00 PM

I’ve been there for the Dutch New Year, they can get pretty crazy with their fireworks. Over the years tho, at least in the area where we lived, it seemed to tone down quite a bit. Not as impressive anymore. I imagine a larger city like Amsterdam would still be pretty crazy though.

StaticElectricityMan on December 27, 2007 at 4:00 PM

These are hilarious!

There’s a total of four so far, that I’ve found.

The Arms Arriving is hysterical…. don’t do that one at home.

Here’s “The Mother of all rockets

And finally, Firy mountain

Also, here is a link to the youtube version without the ad that Allah posted here

Vanceone on December 27, 2007 at 4:04 PM

Heh. By the way, all my links are with English Subtitles, so once it appears out of moderation… you can see these. Allah’s link to the website only has the dutch versions.

Vanceone on December 27, 2007 at 4:05 PM

Praise Allah. May you’re camel become impregnated and deliver to you many many camel poopmakers for your land and may your weeds flourish upon that camel poop.

Griz on December 27, 2007 at 4:10 PM

Vanceone on December 27, 2007 at 4:04 PM

heh…I was just looking at those…that “mother of all rockets” one is the funniest.

Too bad spots like these would never make it to US TV sets…

JetBoy on December 27, 2007 at 4:18 PM

ROFL!

Pulchritudinous Patriot on December 27, 2007 at 4:25 PM

The Dutch Army is how big??

AZCON on December 27, 2007 at 4:26 PM

Lot’s of raining up fire, not so much raining down fire.

Dusty on December 27, 2007 at 4:26 PM

Wait…you mean that wasn’t a real terrorist group?

MadisonConservative on December 27, 2007 at 4:28 PM

It took the Dutch to finally make fun of these cretins on film. I guess Hollywood is too busy making craptastic full featured movies.

Hening on December 27, 2007 at 4:33 PM

some cultures (Islam) are forced to hearken back a little further to recall their golden age than others.

Speakup on December 27, 2007 at 4:50 PM

Fatwa in 5…4…3…

BohicaTwentyTwo on December 27, 2007 at 4:56 PM

That was hysterical! Great job.

Zorro on December 27, 2007 at 4:58 PM

Dutch government firework safety ads featuring a spoof Islamist terrorist group have been criticised as insensitive and depicting a negative stereotype of the Muslim community.

Because after all, the Islamofacists are doing a fine job of creating negative stereotypes all on their own.

Mallard T. Drake on December 27, 2007 at 5:00 PM

All four of those videos at the Update link were great.

Zorro on December 27, 2007 at 5:02 PM

A+++++++ would click again!

Vincenzo on December 27, 2007 at 5:23 PM

The healing power of satire.

thejackal on December 27, 2007 at 5:24 PM

That was brilliant.

Mojave Mark on December 27, 2007 at 5:37 PM

HAHAHAHA ROFL

ThackerAgency on December 27, 2007 at 5:57 PM

Somebody’s gotta say it: The Dutch are the only Europeans with any BALLS!

iurockhead on December 27, 2007 at 6:03 PM

Our new secret weapon in the War On Terror – humor.

If we ever get the nerve to use it.

Bigfoot on December 27, 2007 at 6:11 PM

“Mother of all Rocket” is hilarious lol

Keli on December 27, 2007 at 6:25 PM

I love the Three Stooges and Bugs Bunny’s where they make fun of Hitler and the Japenese. Could you imagine those being made or shown today? If we used this weapon against the Islamofacists we could whip ‘em pretty quick. Good call Bigfoot!

deadbackpacker on December 27, 2007 at 6:26 PM

That is hilarious! ha “the mother of all rockets”

conservnut on December 27, 2007 at 7:35 PM

SILENCE!

I keel you!

We are using it.

thejackal on December 27, 2007 at 7:37 PM

If we ever get the nerve to use it.

Bigfoot on December 27, 2007 at 6:11 PM

Humor, that is.

You mean something like this

lsutiger on December 27, 2007 at 7:55 PM

I don’t find any humor in these ads, I think it directly reflects the lefts attitude towards these monsters, they think the terrorists are bumbling idiots, not taking them seriously.

They should have made a Muhammad roman candle or pack of firecrackers and watched the terrorists lite them off…

Instead I guess they like their heads attached…

Doogiesd on December 27, 2007 at 8:10 PM

Doogiesd on December 27, 2007 at 8:10 PM

I think your view is not without merit (i.e., the left’s perception that terrorists are bumbling idiots, as you put it), but therein lies the reason these ads do have humor. They may not always be bumbling (e.g., the shoe bomber), but as far as being idiots goes, they are clearly thirty fries over the standard Happy Meal quota.

thejackal on December 27, 2007 at 8:17 PM

I don’t find any humor in these ads…

Doogiesd on December 27, 2007 at 8:10 PM

The reason these are funny is that they are attacking the Islamofacists and not Islam. There are many Muslims in the world who do not support the fascists. If they show a Muhammad roman candle, that alienates the “regular” Muslims, just as a Jesus firecracker would offend Christians. But by making fun of the terrorists, it brings in the mainstream Muslims to laugh at the extremeists also. It’s a long stretch, but this sort of thing may help the moderate Muslims to speak up against the fascists.

Doogiesd on December 27, 2007 at 8:10 PM

The left thinks the terrorists are misunderstood young people, who were previously underpriviliged children from homes with overly strict parents, but who now have an insightful perception of US and Israeli hegemony.

It’s the right that thinks the terrorists are a bunch of idiots who have been given extremely deadly weapons with little training but a lot of islamofascist indoctrination.

pedestrian on December 27, 2007 at 8:36 PM

In the spirit of the movie 300.
“The arrows will block out the sun”,so “Will fight in the shade”.

“The heavens will rain down with fire”,okay
“then will prepare the barbecu for a weiner roast”.Ha ha

canopfor on December 27, 2007 at 9:27 PM

The reason these are funny is that they are attacking the Islamo facists and not Islam

Good points… I watched the other videos and get the humor… I guess we can only hope that it will translate and motivate..

Doogiesd on December 27, 2007 at 9:48 PM

Fatwa in 5…4…3…

BohicaTwentyTwo on December 27, 2007 at 4:56 PM

However, Inayat Bunglawala, the assistant secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain, did not think the ads were particularly offensive.

“I thought they were very humorous public safety films,” he responded by email after being sent several links to the ads.

Always like it when the multicultis are more offended than the Muslims themselves..

Reaps on December 27, 2007 at 11:01 PM

Not even sure they really needed subtitles, either..

Reaps on December 27, 2007 at 11:08 PM

SILENCE!

I keel you!

thejackal on December 27, 2007 at 7:37 PM

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Shy Guy on December 28, 2007 at 1:11 AM

Reaps on December 27, 2007 at 11:01 PM

That’s their nature, “I’m offended for those poor ignorant people because they’re too poor and ignorant to be offended for themselves.” They’re just trying to disguise their own bigotry by calling everyone else a bigot.

srhoades on December 28, 2007 at 7:59 AM

Great spoof. Just looking at the Banner with LAAF (laugh) I was suspect.

But, parodies are the best way to make the left understand something. You have to break such issues down to its simplest elements because they can not see the “Big Picture”.

If they do see a “Big Picture” issue, they hate it because they can not understand it. So we have have to feed it to them is little sound bites.

MSGTAS on December 28, 2007 at 8:33 AM

I am not worthy.

When will the series be available on DVD? Would have made a great stocking stuffer.

Numenorean on December 28, 2007 at 10:36 AM

LOL. Take it easy, man!
