Israeli Cell Phone Company in Hot Water Over Ad Featuring Wall

It only lasts a minute but has sparked days of argument and controversy. what a surprise...
Cellcom, one of Israel's leading mobile phone networks has produced a TV commercial starring Israel's controversial security barrier with the Palestinian West Bank.

The ad shows an Israeli army jeep patrolling a concrete section of the barrier. Their jeep is hit by a soccer ball kicked by unseen Palestinians from the other side. The soldiers get out and kick it back -- yes, you guessed it, the ball comes back over again and an impromptu games begins. The commercial voice over ends by saying "we all just want to have fun."
besides the continuously sensitive political positions, the commercial has allot of homoerotic appeal. there has been no comment about this because the opposing sides are too incensed by the larger depiction of israelis and Palestinians having fun, but check out the hot Israels wearing wife-beaters and straddling one another after a score.. yah!

Have a look and decide for yourself-
