Mao Zedong was probably the worst leader in the 20th century in terms of crimes against his own people. A silly amount of people died and yet Citreón used his face in an ad. Bet you would never had seen Hitler or Stalin used in an ad.
What got my goat more was that once again another organisation pulled it's content, because the Chinese were insulted.
