Nandos Stops Airing Last Dictator Standing Ad

Seems the Nandos' Last Dictator Standing ad has ruffled the feathers of Robert Mugabe supporters in Harare. A militant ZANU-PF youth group, no doubt led by the Zim version of our own beloved Juju, threatened to boycott the chain if the ad was not withdrawn. This despite the fact that the ad was made by and broadcast for South Africans. Just because it's against the law to make fun of His Idiocy in Zimbabwe doesn't mean the rest of us should stop.



Nandos did not tell them to go sit on an egg. Instead they've pulled the ad from broadcast due to safety concerns over the staff and customers of their Zimbabwe division. For them, it's one thing if the local Mugabe Youth deprive themselves of peri-peri chicken while throwing a tantrum; it's quite another if they threaten innocents. I will refrain from making the obvious 'chickening out' pun that literally every other article on this has decided to use.



I don't see what all the fuss is about. Imagining Mugs playing water pistols with Gaddafi.is the sweetest image I've had of him in years. He's almost cuddly. He should hire Nandos as his PR team in order to reform his image as an evil bloodthirsty kidney-stone of a human being.
