Achmed the Dead Terrorist
Jeff Dunham has raised controversy with one of the puppets in his shows, Achmed The Dead Terrorist, a skeleton puppet who's character is a failed suicide bomber. The character was in a TV commercial for ring tones. The commercial was banned in South Africa by the South Africa's Advertising Standards Authority, which said it was offensive to Muslims, who make up 2 percent of the country's population. Dunham says it's obvious from his show that Achmed is not Muslim.FOX News: Comedian Defends 'Achmed the Dead Terrorist' Puppet Routine (October 1, 2008) -
