In a related story the ACLU quickly moves to have Benzes added to the list of weapons, including hunting rifles, handguns, etc., they would like to see banned.
Mercedes Benz responds with an ad campaign featuring Charlton Heston and stating that: "Benzes don't kill people, people kill people."
Democrats in Congress sponsor new legislature requiring that all Benzes be registered with a Federal agency, that Benzes be electronically fingerprinted and that there be background checks and 24-hour waiting periods for anyone wanting to purchase a Benz.
Right wingers ask for a ban on all Benzes because Germany refuses to support the US in the war against Iraq.
Arianna Huffington categorically states that Jesus would NOT drive a Benz (but the Pope is driven in a Benz) and sponsors new TV and newspaper ads that superimpose pictures of moms driving ML-series Benzes over pictures of Iraqui terrorist camps.
Stay tuned.
