A man of Palestinian descent living in the USA keeps getting mail from his credit card company addressed not to his real name, but to "Palestinian Bomber".

Mmmm...

...Reminds me of my free subscription to GamePro, in which I entered my name in as Saddam Hussein.

I've got like 20 magazines issued to Saddam Hussein.

"The operators always said, 'Yes, Mr. Palestinian Bomber, how can we help you?' "

This can't be real?! :D

Oh man! I bet it was one of those fundamentalist Jews angry about the Gaza pullout.

Next we'll be getting Who Magazine copies addressed to General Franco or David Hicks.

The incident comes on the heels of last week's announcement by Comcast that two customer service representatives in Chicago were fired after they changed a woman's name to "Bitch Dog" on her bill. She had repeatedly complained about bad service. /quote

In Montreal...one English speaking costumer complained he could not understand the heavy accent of the Phone service Rep of the Electric utility company...

his bill was changed to "Mr. Square Head"

and even if I laughed at all this...I do think these people should be fired.

I'll be willing to bet that the person who changed the first guy's name to Mr. Palestinian Bomber will be cut loose pretty soon as well.

The sad part is that it looks like racism is again becoming publicly acceptable to the point where people are doing this kind of crap without thinking that it will come back and bite them in the ass.

Gotta find the article about the man who recieved a Credit card application for his DOG. he filled out the questionaire (father was Snoopy and mother was Lassie I believe) age was in dog years and such... and a couple of weeks later he got a credit card assigned to his dog.

The only thing that annoys me is the lame-ass insults that people throw at Palestinians. Just the other day some dude (I'll asume he was Jewish from his heavy accent and yamulka) shouts at me "go back to Gaza!" and I had a real urge to point out the irony in that statement.

FFS, show some creativity. At the time I was waiting for a bus with a friend (who is an Israeli) who shouted back, "fool! We tells Pakis to go back to Kararabistan!" That's what I call an insult. Double whammy - insulted both me and the other dude. :D
