FL Pastor Gets Car For Not Burning the Quran
SOUTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. — A New Jersey car dealer plans to keep his word after offering Florida pastor Terry Jones a new car if he promised to not burn a Quran.

Car dealer Brad Benson made the offer in one of his dealership's quirky radio ads, which focus more on current events than cars.

But he was surprised when a representative for Jones called to collect the 2011 Hyundai Accent, which retails for $14,200.

"They said unless I was doing false advertising, they would like to arrange to pick up the car," Benson recalled.

1. Geez, my wife and I haven't burned Korans either. Do we get 2 cars?
After all, that seems to be how this shit works, right?

2. Yeah, but it could be one per family...or maybe only one per year?
I didn't see the "official rules" posted.

3. Can I opt for the cash equivalent?
I'll even agree not to burn any other two books -- of their choosing -- for the next five years. Yes, a Cashier's Check will be acceptable. Thank you.

4. Brad Benson has some of the dumbest ads...

on radio. They play frequently on WFAN in New York.

Although the one inviting people down to view his glorious erection (he had erected a goalpost from the former Giants stadium in his lot) was a little funny.

I'll take a 2003 Ford Mustang GT with tuned dual exhaust and a kick-ass stereo system, please. :D

Edit: I cannot type today.

8. I think if they do have to give him the car they should "customize" it for him. I'm thinking the

good Rev. Phelps might enjoy a pink paintjob, a pink leopard print interior, maybe some rainbow graphics too.

Or just a couple handfulls of sand in the crankcase.

Either way. :P
