Politics: Terry Jones threatened to burn the Koran. His prize? A free car.

  • dumb Anti-Muslim Florida pastor Terry Jones sparked an annoying national controversy after threatening to burn the Koran on 9/11.
  • smart A New Jersey car dealership offered Jones a new car if Jones didn’t burn the Koran. Jones didn’t do it, but not for that reason.
  • dumb Weeks after the incident, Jones’ church called the car dealership to see if the deal was still valid. It was. And now Jones is getting a free car. source
  • » So, what did he get? Jones got a 2011 Hyundai Accent, valued at $13,600. Which in some ways makes us sick to our stomachs. This guy created one of the craziest trumped-up controversies of the past year, and he stands to benefit financially. Disgusting.
