French car maker Citroen has apologised for an advert featuring Mao Tse Tung after complaints that it was an "insult."Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
Seems to be some kind of pattern. Those Muhammed cartoons weren't all that insulting and look what kinds of reactions they caused. "Don't call me violent or I'll keel you!" indeed.
ReplyDeleteI wonder, if the French "insult" Mao, will Chinese burn cars in Copenhagen?
You are also developing a pattern. You also used something like the above 'greatest mass murderer in history' for Stalin, Che Guevara, maybe Lenin (the nicest of 'em all), and a load of other new socialist leaders and misleaders. Fighting against the red plague from all over the world, regardless of race, religion or creed! None of those people are your problem, especially when most of them allready went to hell.
ReplyDeleteI think from here on out the United States should declare that anyone who defaces one of our flags will be bombed. Why should Commies and Muslim fanatics get all the fun of being hyper-touchy?
ReplyDeleteBe they yesterday's commies or todays Islamopaths, the least we can do is take the piss out of their sacred cows...
ReplyDeleteHow many must die until bad ideas die their woefully belated deaths? A stupid idea (like communism) remains stupid no matter how hard it's tried.
