Default South Carolina Ford dealer offers car buyers a Bible, a flag and a $400 gun

What would be the Ozzie inequivalent? A carton, a Oz Flag and a Rex Hunt Fishing Book?

And a signed first edition of Mein Kampf.

Aussie version, I would like a packet of Tim Tams that never run out.

According to the US Bureau of Statistics there are approximately 22 miilion Asians in the USA which is nearly 7% of the total population.

Need more murica memes



Thing is most American's who don't live in that area probably think this 'deal' is the stupidest thing they've ever heard.

Are you not aware of Team America - World Police?

Probably a decade before Trump was president.

WTF! Where is my meme in any way pro-Trump?

It is a poster about the 2004 movie "Team America World Police" which is a satire about American bombastic personalities. Just like this South Carolina Ford dealer's offer.

First and Second Amendments, don't like it then move along and purchase from another dealer or rival company. She lost, so the Constitution remains and will always remain. Stacking the Supreme Court was their end goal - GAME OVER!

A city or town in a blue state could promote their own offer:

1. A kit on how to burn books (particularly pertaining to history or against their narrative) and the flag.
2. Free winch to tear down those racist statues.
3. A poster that reads ''it's ok, we banned plastic straws''

Heck, they could go one up and include more free extras...

4. 1x seminar pass on how to encourage young children to be Trans - especially someone else's child because you have none of your own (academia).
5. A limited edition hate crime starter kit - signed by Jussie Smollett.
6. Increase in all of your taxes because you accepted the free extras.

Although not South Carolina I did make the mistake of driving from Eastern Tennessee to Mississippi thru Alabama one Sunday morning. Literally every radio station that I picked up had some form of bible bashing on it.

That reminds me of the old Top Gear episode where they were driven out of Alabama... unsure if scripted but probably not

When ever someone makes a big deal about a deleted meme it must have been good and I really want to know what it was!

The Aussie equivalent would have to include a type of beer depending on your state, and seeing as over there they genuinely think we keep kangaroos as pets we’d give away free ‘roos.
