It's a pun, it's not supposed to be laugh out loud funny. It takes you a second to get it and then you groan and tell the orator to fuck off.
I like it because it will live inside the head of car brains who actually care that much about make and model even though we're all still on the same page and it literally doesn't matter.
This is like when I found out about the Budweiser horses
Maybe, but I appreciate the semi-alliteration between "ford-dod-ger" and "dodge-char-ger". Don't read it like a make/model but as a descriptive term (the syllabic stress changes a bit) and it makes a little more sense.
...and I've analyzed the joke to death now. You're welcome!
I don't think they did, the make and model is in the headline of one of their links and they take specific issue with this particular vehicle. And it's true, the dodge brand attracts a lot of asshole drivers that weave through traffic. The misnaming is deliberate and tongue-in-cheek.
I didn't get it at first either but it's definitely a clever play on words referring to dodge chargers being driven by reckless drivers, i.e. used to "dodge" other vehicles including fords.
Malala Yousafzai
Edit: a couple corrections.
She's Pashtun (Pakistani), not arab, but she is a practicing Muslim. She was fighting against the Taliban's ban on girls from education, which is not a feature of the rest of the muslim world. It's a feature of extreme fundamentalism, of any religion, not of Islam.
You can always refuse to fly to Israel :)

non refrigerated ketchup always tastes funky unless it's the kind that's packed with a large enough buttload of preservatives that they no longer have to put "refrigerate after opening" on the bottle.
It's not uncommon. Here's just a few stories I was able to pull up, though my google-fu isn't what it used to be and theres a lot of noise from all the headlines made for the first one.
The Washington Post reported last week that last month, a 10-year-old boy and his 6-year-old sister were walking one mile home from a park in Silver Spring. Someone called the cops, who picked them up about halfway and took them the rest of the way home. Their parents, Alexander and Danielle Meitiv, faced no criminal charges, but a few hours later Montgomery County Children's Protective Services (CPS) showed up. According to the Meitivs, a CPS worker required Alexander to sign a safety plan promising not to leave his children unsupervised until the following Monday, when CPS would follow up. If he refused, the worker said his children would be removed. CPS has since interviewed both children at school and returned to the Meitivs' house. - grist.com, USA Today, The Washington Post

So when do we get to start calling these guys nazis? Cause I'm pretty sure that calling to send dissenters to camps, where a concentrated ethnic group is actively having genocide committed against them, is some nazi shit.
