Worried about terrorism? - The Facebook Advert

Well someone is and I would have bet you any money in the world they are either American or some smart dude targeting Americans. But I would've lost. The advert is Australian targeting Australians.Look at this piece of crap ass advert I found on Facebook:terrorism.gifClicking on the advert (which took some serious debate with myself to actually do) will take you to a site where some idiots book is up for sale. That idiot has a name: Tony Haigh.The books description:

From the author of the highly successful HOW TO SURVIVE A TERRORIST ATTACK IN AUSTRALIA, Tony Haigh brings together new counter-terrorism tactics and theories. - Including reviewing recent terror attacks, outcomes, terror tactics, what do if... scenarios and self-help.
