Just saw a commerical on the OFactor from Holiday INN and some guy in a robe replaced the word GOD with ACKBAR? Did anyone see/hear this too?
To: VastRWCon
That would be "allahu akbar!" or "God is Great" in Arabic...
Does Holiday Inn have that many Muslim customers?

…the answer finally emerges:
To: VastRWCon; AllI am so relieved.
I recorded The Factor tonight and just saw the commercial. A man jumps out of the shower; in the next scene, he's in some sort of setting (maybe archaeological ruins in Egypt?) where he and other tourists are viewing some type of hieroglyphics. He interprets them as "Beware the curse of Akbar(sp?)".
He then gets zapped into a press conference, and then into a lab, where it is thought that he's a professor. But he says he isn't, and, of course "but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night".
