Best Buy Ad Mentions Muslim Holiday

November 26, 2009

myfoxdc.com

A black Friday Best Buy ad is getting blasted this Thanksgiving.

It includes a nod to the Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha, which is celebrated this weekend.

That has angered some customers, who point out that Best Buy stopped using "Merry Christmas" in its ads in 2006 and replaced it with "Happy Holidays."

Best Buy is trying to curb any controversy saying that this year’s ads will feature several different holidays, including Christmas.

happy thanksgiving, jorj!

i'm having a very low key event this year, not even a turkey, rather a couple of cornish hens and the 'usual' accompaniments <g>

hope you and yours have a marvelous day!

A most happy and reflective Thanksgiving to all here. Be thankful for what we have and be thankful we have the ability to oppose that which would take our freedom from us.
