Together they were responsible for the deaths of an estimated 120 MILLION PEOPLE!

Yet Hitler, Mussolini and Mao are spokespeople and marketing figures...What the F%$#?

Hi Yoni,

This is one of the ongoing problems in choosing spokespeople. The person must be credible, relevant and have some connection with the target market.

Do you know when these ads where made?

Susan,

You are right, dictators have NO credibility! Many of these ads are quite recent and it appears from what I have read that the public has no appetite for such nonsense!

Yonatan, this is actually very disturbing to see that these 'gentlemen' are alive again and advertising.

This is the kind of stuff that makes my blood boil. Also, when "shock-jocks" or party opposites call someone an "Eco-nazi", for example. Nothing a "tree-hugger" does could ever compare to the holocaust. There is no "blank-nazi" situation without the systematic annhillation of a specific group of people that deserves the moniker.
