The subway ads only cost $6,000, but are getting 100 times that in free publicity. From Stuff.co.nz (New Zealand): "The ads — reading: ‘'In any war between the civilized man and the
savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad.' —
went up in 10 stations across Manhattan after a court victory by a
conservative commentator who once headed a campaign against an Islamic
centre near the site of the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade
Center. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority in New York initially refused to run blogger Pamela Geller’s ad, saying it was 'demeaning’'. But a federal judge ruled in July that it is protected speech under the First Amendment of the US Constitution."
More: "Geller, executive director of the American Freedom Defense
Initiative and publisher of a blog called Atlas Shrugs, has said she’s
not concerned that her ad could spark protests like the ones against the
depiction of Muslims in the video ‘Innocence of Muslims’. Violence linked to the movie has left dozens in seven countries dead, including the American ambassador to Libya. The ad was plastered on San Francisco city buses in recent weeks,
prompting some people to deface the ads and remove some of the words,
including ‘Jihad’ or holy war."
