Boeing Steps In It Again

Boeing and its partner Bell Helicopter apologized yesterday for a magazine ad showing Special Forces troops rappelling from an Osprey chopper onto the roof of a mosque. The ad recently ran in several military-oriented publications.

"It descends from the heavens. Ironically it unleashes hell."

The ad appears as the U.S. tries to improve its image in the Muslim world and Boeing seeks to sell its airplanes to Islamic countries. Nice work fellas! This ought to soften up those customers. . .
