As Facebook gets ready to go public, the eyes of the world will become even more focused on the Menlo Park-based social network.
That's just partly why Friday's report of an insurance advertisement on Facebook featuring the face of 9/11 terrorist Mohamed Atta is not the type of publicity the site wants ahead of its initial public offering.
See the image, read the original report at NBCBayArea.com
Atta's face reportedly appeared on the site as part of an ad selling car insurance. The ad appeared on the right hand side of some users' profiles and it read "Important: Drivers in Texas Who Drive Less than 35 Miles a Day Read This."
The text was alongside a Texas driver's license with Atta's picture on it, which was actually originally taken from his Florida's driver's license.
A Facebook spokesperson confirmed that the ad did appear on the site and told NBC Bay Area that the ad indeed violates the company's advertising policies and that it has been since taken down.
The company behind the ad said it is conducting a full investigation as to how the image was used.
Often times smaller advertisers on Facebook pick images randomly from the Internet to show in their graphic.
But this is also not the first time Atta's face has appeared on the social network. Two years ago Atta's image was reportedly used in another insurance ad, but it was not clear if it was by the same company.
Atta was named as one of the terrorists who crashed planes into the World Trade Center in New York more than 10 years ago.

That's a pretty big "oops" right there....
Truth is riding in the back seat these days.
When are you people going to open your eyes!
WHEN?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OPEN YOUR EYES!!!!!!!!!!!AND LOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Other than the fact that you have learned what happens when you push "shift" and then hold down the "1" key, what is that supposed to mean?
It's in stupid but I think I might be able to make it sound smart. He's basically saying that the people need to stop living with their eyes closed behind lies and denial and realize the truth.
Oh no MSN, do not even play the finger pointing game at Facebook or any other website that accepts payment for advertisements. The ads that this story speaks of are used all over the Internet including MSN. The advertisers put a shocking photograph on their ad to catch the readers attention and then make a statement about paying too much for insurance, or ask if you have too many wrinkles in your skin and just about any other type of product. I have seen pictures of prisoners with long nasty hair and missing teeth. The pictures are used for the attention grabbing abilities of the person displayed and that is about all. I hate to say it but a lot of people have no idea of who Mohamed Atta is. These people may look at the picture and say this evil looking dude looks familiar. At that point the advertisement has done its job....it has grabbed your attention. I must say that using Mohamed Atta's photograph is in very poor taste but it has caught the attention of the people complaining about the offensive photo. Either way, the gimmick has worked. It really is a clever way of bringing attention to your product or service. However, for MSN to make it sound like a tactic that only Facebook and other social networking sites would use is disingenuous.
Face book who the hell uses that garbage. Oh wait I forgot the zombies do. No wonder people are buying zombie insurance to protect themselves from these brainwashed fools who build their own files for the corrupt that use that information for all kinds of illegal activities. The company even breaks its own TOS and never deletes any files from its database and lets it sit stagnant on outdated systems.
Nearly a billion people use facebook. It's an advertisers dripping, soaking, sloshing wet dream. Nearly one billion potential customers on a single website is the Holy Grail to them.
The small business I work for, has picked up an extra 1.2 million a year ( and we are just a regional chain) for the past three years on average advertising through facebook. If people consider facebook users to be zombies, we will be more than happy to offer up fresh meat to keep them coming back for more.
They're just playing with us to see if we're paying attention...Apparently some of us are! So,...I think Markie mark has some "splainin" to do!...Come on Zuckerberg...
Really MSN!?! Really!?!
Those crappy spam advertisements on Facebook really make them look cheap.
It would be sooooo better if they only advertised... oh I don't know... sugarcupid.com ads instead.
Yeah, that would make them look respectable.
Maybe they need to get Jessica Alba to do their ads for them too.
Posting on a site that thrives because of MSNBC, to tell them how stupid MSNBC is...yep, you showed them alright...lmao. Click on our pages so you can click on more of our pages to tell us off = $$$$$ in the bank. I gotta make some of these Web pages - terrorists for Capitalism. Now if they can just get that Flooring Express lady to stop singing on her commercials.
So what is the name of the company?
Who cares? It's probably a publicity stunt.
It was done on pourpose. Free publicity !
Facebook and the people that use it are a joke! A woman I know drinks all day and fights non-stop with her husband, calling him every name in the book. Then she will go on facebook to tell her friends what a wonderful husband and life she has. Facebook is a fantasy land for Idiots!
a messenger-
I followed that link. WOW! I've always kinda called b.s. on all of it, but when our own government is admitting that they don't know why 4 of the 19 hijackers are still alive and well...
looking more and more like Israeli secret service with stolen passports...
probably progressive ins.
All State - "your in Allahs hands"
Coulda been worse ... could have been flight insurance.
@ denver bill 2 Now THAT was funny! :D
What the hell is wrong with those people?! Sorry, but whoever is responsible should be fired. That may seem harsh to some, but that vile piece of sh*t's picture is still traumatizing to many people. How completely stupid and insensitive.
Are you kidding? Some CEO is probably going to get a big million dollar bonus for this even if they lose customers over it.
Yeah, you are probably right. Sorry, lost my mind for a moment there.
Atta was only ALLEGEDLY one of the "terrorists" who flew the planes into the WTC. There has never been any PROOF provided that any MUSLIMS were flying the planes when they hit the buildings. Don't give me claims of evidence, give me the PROOF, or shadup.
I thought they were talking about a picture of Dick Cheney or Donald Rumsfeld.
Ur right. It was probably a bunch of girl scouts.
Here is a pretty good hint from the New York Times:
Bin Laden Takes Responsibility for 9/11 Attacks in New Tape
and how about Flight 93?; this is from the liberal biased cable chanel MSNBC and you know that those anti-capitalistic loons will do and say anything to vilify or discredit the United States:
United Airlines Flight 93 cockpit tape transcript
the evidence is over whelming and what proof do you require? One of the terrorists waving out the window and shouting Allah before hitting the building or ground?
Paul is a "truther" and as such, is a buffoon.
I asked for PROOF. Not government generated so called "evidence". Do you not understand the difference between the two?
Are you unaware that there exists MORE evidence proving that 50 people at the CIA were aware that Al Qaeda was in our country for 11 months prior to the "hijackings", but were told that they couldn't let the FBI keep tabs on the future "hijackers" whereabouts.
I'm not necessarly a truther but I'm seeing history repeat itself since 9/11. We have properganda ran news media that the department of justice has to approve, look it up on YouTube on Russia Today also look up missiles shut down in Jan and China/Russia threating WW3, etc... Then Barack Obama signs ACTA and has a hard on for SOPA/PIPA which will shut down 80% of the internet which still has foreign media, concidence. President Obama signs NDAA of 2012 which is martial law while their have been rumors of FEMA camps that look exactly like concentration camps (at least 1 has been varified and so have disposable coffins). Drones going to be allowed in our air to watch citizens. Conspiracy theorists that have been saying 9/11 was an inside job also predicted these things would happen, they were right about all this. Can anyone explain WTC 7 because Donald Rumsfeld said has no idea it even collapsed? I could careless about any evidence given by our gov't. Look at history the Nazis set fire to their own parlament and then blamed Poland as an excuse to give people so they could invade Poland, Germans would have called anybody who said this idoits.
Paul, you are an ass and I don't care if I get suspended for life for saying so. I am being polite to say the least.
Yea, wizkid, lol your no truther, just a dumbXXX
Thanks Rlquall. I will now bow out and wizkid78232 this is why we do not need anymore Bush's (Cheney's) or Obama's running our nation. We need leaders that will place the interests and defense of our country first. I think that Bush just about lost it after 2004 and Obama may be a great orator and community leader but hasn't a clue on how to be an effective CEO or leader.
Actually the Nazis blamed The Germans Workers Party...the communists for the burning of Germany's Parliament building. It was an effective and convenient way to turn the German people against the countries most popular political party. Poland was blamed for invading Germany and killing German troops at the border. The soldiers that were killed were actually Polish soldiers dressed in German uniforms. That created an excuse for the Nazis to invade Poland....which they did. The knew that Poland would not roll over like Czechoslovakia did. However it was not much of a fight, Poland surrendered and was occupied in about three days. Now for the US and Obama, I would not put anything past this America hating tyrannical dictator. What other conclusion can a person make with a picture of Chavez and Obama kissing each other on the lips? Perhaps one day Obama's picture can be used for one of these advertisements being discussed to draw attention to an insurance ad. After all he could be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors for selling out and destroying the nation.
Fox_News; was that the fat Osama with the jet black beard, who confessed to being behind 9/11? There are thousands of Web sites that say Osama denied anything to do with 9/11....stick to tapping the phones of crime victims.
People conspire all the time - what do you call the housing fraud and banking scams....looks like a conspiracy to me. Thank our ancestors for conspiring against the British. Better to question than to become a collusionist.
idiots.why put any muslims face on anything supossedly american,,dirty animals the lot of them
Are you kidding me?
Those ads are hilarious in how stupid they look. This is another reason to laugh at them and ridicule the idiots that make them; absolutely no time nor effort is put into making these ad images used to draw gullible in.
The people who create these ads are just looking through stock photos and are not taking the time or effort to see exactly who or what is in the photo that they use. Comedian Brian Haner has an ad on his facebook page that a politician sent out about how he was going to be tough on crime. The problem was "the criminals" in the ad were members of music groups. His son the guitarist from Avenged Sevenfold was one of the images used. Needless to say people recognized that these were stock photos of bands and were not impressed. People need to do homework to make sure the image that they are using is actually appropriate for the message that they are trying to convey.
Exactly right; I see them on face book a lot. One I saw this morning had an interesting image of a black guys mug shot, but someone exaggerated his facial features and made it look extra racist.
To "Thatguy1"- What kind of idiot are you for making those bigoted remarks? You're no different than the insurance company whose trashing an entire religion to scare people into buying insurance. Our founding fathers came to this country for Freedom of Religion which includes Muslims too. Because of some bad apples, the whole religion gets trashed? The Christian Holy Crusades killed more Muslims than Muslims killed Christians. Check Google and read some history. The Spanish Inquisition killed many Jews too and I don't hear people slamming the Jews. Stop the ridiculous and uneducated remarks and learn something about people you know little of. People who hate keep the fires burning and that includes Islamic extremists as well as our own. If you're a hater making dumb remarks about Muslims, you're no better than those extremists who hate us. No to hate and be good examples to our children and act like a 1st world people that we're supposed to be.
Think Wise, you should try doing that sometimes.
Was the insurance company "Progressive"? ;)
Idiots in charge? Maybe even "mentally and intellectually" challenged? They have no place deciding ad content unless they were being paid on the side to derail Facebook? Hmmm... a possibility?
Do a google search and you,ll find many of the so called hi-jackers are alive and well. On of the accused even called the U.N. on 9/11 asking why he was being accused. Wake up America!!!
They can't wake up, script. They've been brainwashed and traumatized into believing that questioning what they are still being told about 9/11, is unAmerican. They can't process conflicting information. Look at Rlquall's reactionary response, as if seeking the TRUTH is a bad thing.
What the heck do you clowns smoke? How do you not o.d. on stupidity? Google this
See? PC101 is an example of someone who believes so wholeheartedly in the demonstrably false story of 9/11, that if you point out that it doesn't make sense that the mass murder of 2979 Americans has gone uninvestigated by any body with subpoena power, they FREAK out and start calling you names for pointing out a FACT.
No Paul, I am pointing out that you are brain dead. O.k. silly guy what is your theory then? Be concise and to the point please.
How does one call the U.N.?
I am not obligated to provide you with my theory or "proof". If you believe the government's story without requiring that their evidence be cross-examined while under oath and penalty of perjury, then you are simply a MISGUIDED American. Your willingness to engage in blind faith is your failing, not mine. As an American, it is my right to demand that the MASS MURDER of my fellow citizens in my homeland, be properly and thoroughly investigated, openly, with all the powers required to arrive at the TRUTH of how it was allowed to happen. If Clinton let it happen, he should be penalized, etc.
I supposed you guys have experience with thermite? I,ve paid my due,s and have seen first hand what and who were fighting for so save me your 2 cents. Not to hard to contact them, look it up. Keep fighting for the truth Paul as the truthers are becoming the majority
Anyone who believes everything that pops up on a Google search is a tool. If any of you conspiracy theorists had enough courage in your beliefs to get off mommy's couch and PROVE your point with actual FACTS, you might get somewhere in life. You probably won't disprove the reports and conclusions of people far more informed and intelligent than yourselves, but at least you'll get some exercise and I won't have to subsidize your obesity-related illnesses through my health insurance. Get a life AND a clue, losers. There is plenty to be angry about, but you little people with your red herrings are wasting your time chasing down false leads (likely provided by the very same people that are screwing you and me over)...honestly, do yourselves and the nation a favor by finishing grammar school and contributing to this great society you benefit from daily. Until then, be prepared to be ridiculed by those of us who love our country enough to go beyond a Google search while learning the truth. Go back to school and learn how to learn, tools.
Is there something wrong with the water in Texas? Here in America, the only PROOF that exists, takes place in a court of law. Outside of COURT, everything is debatable. That is our largest complaint. No INVESTIGATION into 9/11 has been granted the required powers to arrive at the TRUTH, and use those FACTS to file an indictment against those who were either derelict in their duties, or complicit in the crime of MASS MURDER against US CITIZENS on US soil.
People like you make me wonder, if we ever did arrive at the TRUTH of 9/11, you would then make excuses for the LIES that preceeded our finding out differently, as necessary for geopolitical advantages for our country, and that should make it all okay. Sometimes "innocent" citizens need to be sacrificed, to get done what needs to get done. Right?
Paul, so let me get this straight, you believe our government has been taken over by some supremely corrupt organization or group that is so low as to murder almost 3000 innocent people and you know this for a fact yet you continue to support that government by staying here and paying your taxes?
Are you suggesting that I should let the criminals win, by allowing them to be derelict in their duties to the point that I give up on the PROMISE of my own country and Constitution? All we are demanding is a SUBPOENA empowered investigation be impanelled and allowed to hear all of the whole truth. Is that too much to ask? Only if you are a MISGUIDED American, could you object to the unhindered investigation of the mass murder of your fellow Americans on American soil.
Paul, you know very well that even if it did go to court, if the findings weren't what you already believe it would just be another conspiracy.
That's the same old disingenuous canard which is always used to excuse dereliction of the legal process. Why are you voting against what you know is both right, and would supposedly prove me wrong?
It makes no logical sense to assume that you know what the results of both an unhindered subpoena empowered investigationa and subsequent series of trials would bring. And then advocate that we shouldn't do them, as required by the Constitution. Crimes have to be investigated and prosecuted. Mass Murder is a crime with NO STATUTE of LIMITATIONS. Impeding the investigation is something very akin to making yourself an Accessory after the FACT.
I'm not saying it shouldn't be investigated. In fact, it has been investigated. It will continue to be investigated, over and over, for years to come. All I am saying is that no matter how thorough and open any of the investigations are, you and many like you will only accept the results as fair and valid if they agree with your currently held beliefs. Any findings that do not agree with what you believe will be shot down as a further conspiracy.
Besides what I know about engineering and demolition, probably the one things that I find most convincing that 9/11 was not a conspiracy by the U.S. government, is what I know of psychology. If you get more than two or three people involved in a "secret" project, it won't be long before one of the people says something publicly. Knowing that it would have taken hundreds of engineers and technicians to wire even one of the towers, I find it inconceivable that, to date, not one of those people has come forward.
Paul and Script,
In an effort to be fair and open-minded, and at the request of a friend who also believes the government is lying about 9/11, I watched a documentary-style video purporting such. It's been several years and I can't recall specifics points, but overall I remember many of the video's claims seemed begging to be debunked. In fact, Popular Mechanics published an article which did the very thing, debunking many of the 9/11 conspiratorial claims. Common sense says the number of co-conspirators needed for such a grand conspiracy would eventually topple the whole affair because of the weight alone.
I did google "9/11 hijackers still alive" and got many hits. One of the sites links supporting evidence back to the BBC. I went to the BBC article which was written only 12 days after 9/11. I think in the heat of reporting and law investigation, it is not unreasonable to see name mix-ups, especially if it is westerners reporting on Islamic names. I also checked out the subject on Wikipedia which had a great deal of information about the hijackers. Wiki's position also supports the claim that some mix-ups in hijacker names came from early, rash reporting, which led to conspiratorial claims. Some of the mix-ups were due to name commonalities, for instance an Arabic version of "John Smith."
Overall, I think the official version of the events surrounding 9/11 ring with more truth than conspiratorial explanations. Now, I'm not contending our goverment doesn't harbor any secrets surrounding 9/11, or other things for that matter. I wouldn't be surprised. But as to who planned and committed the attrocities of 9/11, it was al-Qaeda, just as claimed by that terror group and the U.S. government.
I know there's a small percentage of folks who wouldn't accept the official explanation of 9/11 regardless of any evidence. Some of these folks are keen on many other conspiracy theories, as well, and maybe some of their claims have merit. But not in this case. Paul and Script, I wish you well but don't think you could be more wrong on this matter.
Regards,
LM
tired and Larry: I don't know what it is that possesses you to skip over the MOST IMPORTANT issue of the 9/11 Truth movement.
We want the crime to be INVESTIGATED with SUBPOENA power. This has nor been allowed to take place for TEN years.
NO SUBPOENA, no TRUTH. No truth, NO PROOF. Was Rumsfeld ever subpoenaed? Gen. Meyers? Dick Cheney? Dr. Dov Zakheim?
Saying that a theory has been debunked, when both parties are not on camera in the same room while under oath, is ridiculous.
Most debunking involves first misstating the theory, then disproving the strawman you have created in a vacuum.
We will accept the TRUTH of 9/11, when all of our questions have been answered, and those answers have been cross-examined, all while under oath and penalty of perjury. That is what it means to be a TRUE American, instead of a "sheeple".
Larry- what does it matter if that article was a week after 9-11 or two years? It wasn't that these men were falsely accused and "identified"- how were their passports on the planes? All nineteen hijackers were "identified" through actual physical evidence (passports and multiple copies of the koran)- so how did their id's get there, if they weren't even there?
Of course none of us know nor ever will know what really happened on September 11, but to follow the "official" account completely unquestioningly is as stupid and counter-logical as the craziest conspiracy theories.
btw bruce in austin (great place!)-
I've got a college degree, haven't lived at my "mommy's" in 21 years, and am physically fit from a lifetime of blue-collar labor. Learn the facts about the losers you're yelling at...
Freedom of religion is when everyone is muslim. If your not muslim the muslim's say you have to die your a infidel. Gee sounds just like the nazi's, kill all jews and everyone that's not a nazi or in this case muslim. As far as I'm concerned muslim's are today's nazi's.
yeah, as if a good percentage of evangelicals wouldn't be all for crusade number 2. ALL religions suck, not just islam...
For those that think Americans are not threatened by muslims, please provide solid, undeniable, irrefuttal proof they are not the ones causing destruction of every country they live in and that they are not the ones beheading Americans.
If you can proof this, I will accept them. Until such time, I not only refuse them, I also refuse to have any business dealings with them. I will not buy from their stores, ride in their cabs or stay in their hotels/motels.
Please provide solid, undeniable, irrefutable proof Christians are not the ones causing destruction of every country they live in. Please provide solid, undeniable, irrefutable proof Jews are not the ones causing destruction of every country they live in. Please provide solid, undeniable, irrefutable proof atheists are not the ones causing destruction of every country they live in. Please provide solid, undeniable, irrefutable proof white people are not the ones causing destruction of every country they live in. Please provide solid, undeniable, irrefutable proof black people are not the ones causing destruction of every country they live in. Please provide solid, undeniable, irrefutable proof Asian not the ones causing destruction of every country they live in. Please provide solid, undeniable, irrefutable proof men are not the ones causing destruction of every country they live in. Please provide solid, undeniable, irrefutable proof women are not the ones causing destruction of every country they live in. Please provide solid, undeniable, irrefutable proof educated people are not the ones causing destruction of every country they live in. Please provide solid, undeniable, irrefutable proof uneducated people are not the ones causing destruction of every country they live in.
First, you did not prove your claims and you never even addressed the issue of muslims cutting the heads people while they are still alive.
Please do this.
I will address something for you, however. Name the country of primarily muslims that changed their laws to suit non-muslims and that this country was forced, by its own gov't to accept non-muslims.
Michael, what in the world are you talking about. I didn't make any claim and I didn't talk about any heads being cut off. I just used your own words to show that what you said can't be proven or dis-proven.
It's not Facebook's fault. They don't control what garbage ads their advertisers generate. I can tell you right now who the advertiser was, it was probably Pulse360. I am looking at a similar ad right now on MSNBC.com.
They should control it. Facebook is a scourge.
Facebook, taking the place of real socialization since 2004:) C'mon everybody, there is a whole wide world out there full of people you can actually interact, touch, travel and laugh out loud for real with!!
I've seen the same ad on YOUR website, d-bag MSNBC hypocrites! Not only are y'all pisspoor excuses for journalists, you profit from the same bottom-dwelling low-lifes that buy ads on that asinine website called Facebook. The difference is, JOURNALISM used to be a hallowed and important part of the democratic process and a free society. You morons (and the slack-jawed, semi-literate jackwagons at all the other networks) have debased journalism to the point where it ranks BELOW social media in accuracy and fairness. Great job helping this country win the race to the bottom, MSNBC posers! Clean up your own house, or shut this site down and shut the f*ck up!
Corporate media is fixed. You still have to know what they are reporting, true or false. MSNBC is not anywhere near the offender that FOX"NEWS" chooses to be. They, FOX"NEWS" actually went to Federal Court, suing for the "right" to knowingly LIE to their viewers.
Wow! So desperate to get their ad noticed they put in a picture of a 911 Terrorist? I wonder if people are more likely to look at pictures of people of middle eastern origin? At any rate is is disgusting, and upsetting to use a picture of a mass murderer to sell your product.
Alleged, mass murderer. He was never proven to have been the killer. Are you people even Americans?
Paul, I recommend that you seek psychiatric help.
I recommend that you get informed as to what you should be skeptical of.
Please attempt to enlighten me as to where I have misstated anything about 9/11. if you don't have questions left unanswered about 9/11, you're an ignorant, not a skeptic.
Ah yes Paul, if someone doesn't believe or disbelieve exactly what you do, then they are ill informed and ignorant.
...I can live with that!
Do you not have any unanswered questions about 9/11? Why did the Pentagon claim that the E4-B flying over D.C. was not a military plane?
No. Just to piss you off. Seems to have worked, at that. Go take your meds now. You're way overdue.
You can't answer the most basic questions about 9/11, because you are at best, a willful ignorant.
And as to your mom, she sure bore herself one. Humans don't "raise" their children, they rear them.
Paul, at the time of 9/11 and for many years before that, my job in the military gave me access to very large amounts of classified information, confidential, secret, top secret and code word. Neither before, the day of, nor after 9/11, did I ever see anything that even remotely indicated any involvement of any part of our government had anything, directly or indirectly to do with the events of 9/11.
Controlled Demolition is one of the best know demolition companies in the world, go to their sight http://www.controlled-demolition.com/ and ask them how many people it would take and how long it would take to wire even one of the World Trade Towers, even without having to conceal all of the work. Then ask them what a building that is essentially hung on a central core, looks like as it collapses. Finally, ask them what flying large, commercial aircraft, almost fully loaded with fuel, into the building would do to any destruction plan, since there is no way of knowing exactly where the plane is going to hit.
If what you are saying is true, you wouldn't be at liberty to confirm what I posted. Correct? Your oath does permit you to come to a blog and lie about what you do or don't know though.
So, since you are claiming to have "inside" information, tell us how our military was unable to locate a commercial aircraft flying directly at the Pentagon and Washington DC for twenty minutes, nor get a single fighter aircraft aloft and flying air-cap over same? How far is Andrews Airforce Base from the Pentagon at Mach .8? Secondarily, there was an E-4B flying within 20 miles of DC when the Pentagon was allegedly hit by Flight 77. Shouldn't the E4-B have known what was going on in its airspace? Were any AWACs aloft along the Eastern Seaboard that morning? Tell us what you know about the military DRILLS taking place that morning, like Northern Vigilance.
I'm guessing you will either disappear now, or go all non-responsive.
As far as controlled demolition goes, WTC#1&2, weren't rigged by a commercial contractor. Those folks are limited in what kinds of explosives they are allowed to use and by what methods they can safely choose to detonate the placed charges. Secondly, they usually have to be concerned with not doing damage to nearby buildings. Whomever "rigged" towers 1&2 weren't limited in the same ways that CDI would be, and the impact points for the planes were predetermined ahead of time. The last thing they would have wanted the demolition of the TWIN TOWERS to be, was a classically recognizable "implosion". It was made to appear that the plane impact points would be where the "collapse" initiated. This doesn't explain the total disappearances of the tops of the buildings, and things like the Radio tower. They appeared to disintigrate, in mid-air, before each collapse was even one third of the way completed. If the hammer driving the nail turns to dust during the downstroke, when the dust clears, half of the nail should still be standing.
WTC#7 was a classic demolition. Who Silverstein had rig that for a "pull" I can only guess.
I clicked the ad, but it was just car insurance.
This is exactly why I only believe in "The National Enquirer".
rofl
Who even looks at Internet ads in the first place?
You all are cracking me up.
Uh.... Doesn't Facebook pay someone to check those ads before they are allowed to "go public"? Oh, what am I saying? Of course nobody is paid to that -- it would cost MONEY!
Look at all the Free publicity they got. Can't beat Free.
i do alot of reading here, but very seldom make comment, however, on this article and subject, i am reminded of an old saying...fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. most likely it is the same insurance company that used his face in this ad, and most probable it was intentional. not so much for shock value or marketing ingenius, (because the general and mass population on facebook probably would not recognize him) but for much more sinister purposes, such as an internet gateway for active and training terrorists in this country. the company being a front placing ads on a public social network reaching millions of viewers daily and connecting all those around the world who have the same hidden agenda. i would investigate the fronting insurance company intensely, checking its records of 'hits' or applicants for insurance and especially all their clients. this is much, much more than simple marketing tERROR, but intentional. the question is why? only a mockery of the american people, or a completely established network of terror operating right under our noses? there must be an acknowledgement by the insurance company of this grievous error in judgement and accountability of those who selected and/or approved these ads, but also full disclosure of every hit that ad received and their client history.
just like great, great grandma maude used to say ... 'somthin' in the milk aint clean'.
Maybe its because homeboy isn't dead after-all.................
He's dead.................they always kill off the patsy.
