That reminds me of a scene from that old comedy 'Used Cars"


[President Carter on TV]
President Carter: -high inflation. What is the solution?

[TV cuts to commercial for Luke's yard taking place in Roy's yard]

Jeff: Yessir, that's New Deal Used Cars... Now wait just a Goddamn
minute. What the hell is this? Is this a 1974 Mercedes 450SL
for *twenty-four thousand dollars*? That's too fucking
high.

[blows up car with dynamite. Roy watches at home]

Roy: You sonova bitch
..


FBI Inspector: You want to give me that again?

Jeff: Uh, well, yes. As I say, Inspector, I heard this large
explosion and I rushed out, I couldn't tell what was
going on. I saw the car over there in flames and all these
strange little characters, you know, with towels on their
heads, weird little goatees and stuff, running around
yelling: "Ayatollah, Ayatollah." Then they all got in a car
and drove away. I guess it was Iranian students out to
discredit the American way of life. I can't imagine who
else would do such a thing.
