The American embassy in Islamabad, in a bid to tamp down public rage over the anti-Islam film produced in the U.S., is spending $70,000 to air an ad on Pakistani television that features President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton denouncing the video.
The State Department said Thursday the embassy had compiled brief clips of Obama and Clinton rejecting the contents of the movie and extolling American tolerance for all religions into a 30-second public service announcement that is running on seven Pakistani networks. Obama and Clinton's comments, which are from previous public events in Washington, are in English but subtitled in Urdu, the main Pakistani language.
Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the aim was to get the messages to the widest possible audience in Pakistan, where tens of thousands of protestors angry about the film tried to reach the U.S. embassy before being turned back by Pakistani police. She said embassy staffers had decided the ads were the best way to spread the word. The seven networks have a potential audience of 90 million people, she added.

Put your tail between your legs and kiss the muslim butts.
WEAKLINGS!!! Quit wasting my damn tax dollars!
Legends in their own minds. If Obama and Clinton think for one second that the Pakistani's give a rat's butt about what they said they are truly delusional.
I'm saying it here right now on Sby News-If these ads air violent riots will continue to break out in Pakistan and the rioters will be chanting about these ads. This is adding fuel to the fire.
More Anti-Islam films should be made, it seems that every other religion has the decency and self control to take on what they see as heresy. I dont see christians burning down buildings because people used "x-mas" instead of "Christmas". You dont see jews killing people over people making fun of the beanies.. Islam should no longer be considered a religion, they are a CULT!
