The presidents of FTAA, Ali Cinar, and ATAA, Ergun Kirlikovali, protested the poor taste in a shampoo commercial by a Turkish company, Biomen, using Hitler in a light-hearted manner. The voice-over on one of Hitler’s speeches, addressing male population, said: “Just like you are not wearing women’s clothes, you shall not use women’s shampoo. Now there is a shampoo for men only: Biomen!”
“While it is obvious that the company is trying to sell product, not hurt feelings, the unfortunate choice of a mass murderer as a spokesperson in the commercial was in terribly poor taste. It was insensitive and inappropriate.” commented president Cinar of FTAA.
“There some cases where monetary considerations give way to moral values. I see this case as one of them. I strongly urge the company to discontinue this commercial and issue an apology to all Jews who lost 6 million of their loved ones.” added president Kirlikovali of ATAA.
