NYC Paper Mocks Ahmadinejad by Sending Him Jewish-Themed Welcome Basket — See What Was In It

New York Post Sends Gift Basket to Ahmadinejad

NEW YORK, NY - SEPTEMBER 23: President of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (L) is greeted by United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon (R) before their meeting at United Nations Headquarters September 23, 2012 in New York City.

If you appreciate gag gifts, you’ll really love this story.

The New York Post, which isn’t afraid to be irreverent or antagonistic and is known for its provocative headlines, pulled off one of the most memorable stunts of the year when it recently sent a Jewish-themed welcome basket to Iranian President Ahmadinejad upon his arrival into New York for the U.N. General Assembly meeting.

The paper didn’t hold back, filling the basket with tickets to a theater show about Jews, bagels forma popular Jewish deli, and a brochure for a Holocaust museum. Here’s a taste:

The anti-Semite’s special welcome basket — from New Yorkers with love — included such locally procured goodies as Gold’s Borscht, Manischewitz Gefilte Fish and smoked whitefish from the world-famous Murray’s Sturgeon House on the Upper West Side.

If Ahmadinejad (pronounced: I’m a dinner jacket) needed midnight munchies during his visit to this infidel city, there were also plenty of H&H bagels, onion bialys and Zabar’s cream cheese.

To cheer up the sourpuss hatemonger, there’s a $125 comped ticket to the off-Broadway play “Old Jews Telling Jokes†— booked in his name. It just might take the edge off his bloodthirsty desire to develop nuclear weapons and wipe Israel off the map.

Anticipating the schlumpy, unshaven dictator’s penchant for wearing the same suit all week long, we thoughtfully included “I ♥ NY†undies and a stick of Irish Spring deodorant, to keep the flies away.

For those quiet moments away from spinning centrifuges, he can relax with a good book. But since it’s likely he can’t read the truth about 9/11, which he condemns as “a big lie,†there’s a picture book, “The 9/11 Report,†a graphic adaptation by Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colon.

The gesture, however, wasn’t well-received. Not only did a member of Ahmadinejad’s entourage say the Post was endangering that person’s life, but the Secret Service nixed the idea: “This isn’t gonna happen. You have to go.â€

You can see the basket here.

    why can’t our foreign policy involve peaceful gestures such as that instead of bombing and murdering people, its peaceful ways like that you get the point across to people without making them hate your guts.

      We apologize all over the place and blame Americans for all of the worlds woes. I think that’s pretty close to sending welcome baskets to our enemies.

    I think the Secret Service should abduct Ahmadinejad (pronounced: Hack my dinner job) replace him with a double (a chimpanzee in a leisure suit or Ringo Starr) and put old “Hackey” to work at the local pork rib joint as a bus-boy.

    In reality, why are we letting this dangerous moron on USA soil. It would be like Truman inviting Hitler over for tea and crumpets.

    Station a sniper, enough said.

    Is the NYT intentionally trying to stir the pot between Israel and Iran with this? Maybe hoping to spur Iran into making a move against Israel? Or, am I just reading too much into it? Just asking.

    They all just objected to the naked kitten picture and the naked teddy bear in the basket…the food and entertainment they would have liked, reminds them of the humanitarian aide we already give them on a regular basis because of our blockades we have put in place.

Thanks for reporters giving them lots of publicity, I’ll keep a closer eye on them, they seem like fun kinda people with an eye to puncturing “dinner-in-a-jacket” types. Good laugh this morning. (notice that the secret service has no sense of humor”.

    “If Ahmadinejad (pronounced: I’m a dinner jacket)”

    No Mr. Seidl, it’s pronounced “Ahck-meh-din-eh-jahd” and he’ll soon have his finger on a nuclear football.

    The NY Post sent Kosher food – nothing Ahmadinejad wouldn’t eat. If the NY Post wanted to play a trick on him, they’d have sent sticks of beef jerky and Gaybama-condoms.

      Yes, he soon will have his finger on a nuclear button and that is precisely what Israel is talking about. This nut sincerely believes he is on a mission of God to bring back the 112th Iman (AKA anti christ). BTW, it’s pronounced “I’m a nut job”.

      He needs a tub bath with some music. maybe the CD player will fall in the tub while connected to an electric shaver powered by the sun, moon and stars. It will be the first time we see a pig being boiled in a bath tub.
