What's wrong with stating the truth? :hmmm:

The video clip is cool to :DL

Nando's axes Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe 'dictator' advert


A South African fast food chain has withdrawn a TV advert which pokes fun at Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe as "the last dictator standing".
Nando's South Africa said it decided to act after receiving threats to its staff in Zimbabwe from a youth group loyal to Mr Mugabe.
The video shows a sad Mugabe look-a-like dining alone at a table set for Libya's Muammar Gaddafi, Uganda's Idi Amin and other late autocratic rulers

That's brilliant :haha:

:down: to South Africa for banning this. It's an awesome piece of political satire, and a society that can't appreciate political satire is quite possibly in trouble.

Hopefully because he's come to the realisation he hasn't got much time left...age will do what so many in the past have been unable to achieve.
