Rare is a New York City subway ad that's actually, genuinely funny.
Thankfully, a ****** of ads for the documentary, The Muslims Are Coming (http://www.citylab.com/navigator/2016/03/fighting-muslim-stereotypes-with-humor-on-the-nyc-subway/472938/)!*was posted this throughout the subway system on Tuesday, bringing genuine laughter to millions of miserable urban commuters. The posters, currently pasted in 144 locations, hope to both advertise the movie and combat painful anti-Muslim stereotypes.

Farsad and Obeidallah, together with Muslim Advocates, filed a lawsuit against the MTA to challenge the decision and an October 2015 court ruling reversed the ban. Read more...
