You've no doubt heard the phrase "there is no such thing as bad publicity" before, as it's often attached to stories about Lindsay Lohan.
Well, one Texas plumber would beg to differ.
According to The New York Times, the owner of Mark-1 Plumbing filed a lawsuit against a Houston car dealership last week after the truck he traded in two years ago somehow wound up in the hands of ISIS and on the front lines in Syria.
![Texas plumber sues car dealership after his truck ends up with ISIS]()
Mark Oberholtzer claims his son attempted to peel the company's decal off the truck when the pair traded in his 2005 Ford F-250 for a newer model in October 2013, but an AutoNation Ford Gulf Freeway salesman told him to stop because it would harm the paint. The same salesman also allegedly assured Oberholtzer it would be removed later.
That obviously didn't happen. AutoNation sold the truck "as is" at an auction, and it made one stop in Turkey before making its way to Syria.
Now Oberholtzer is seeking more than $1 million in damages from the dealership because he has lost business and received hundreds of threats from people who think he supports ISIS. And it probably didn't help matters when he and his old truck wound up on "The Colbert Report."
We'll assume Oberholtzer is more of a Fallon guy these days.
Not exactly the publicity Drake was looking for: Everyone Thinks This ISIS Member Looks Like Drake
