Thailand: Uproar over Hitler advertising poster
A Thai billboard advertising a wax museum with a picture of Adolf Hitler has sparked outrage. Following protests by the German and Israeli ambassadors, the billboard was covered up.
The advertisement with the slogan "Hitler is not dead" was erected several weeks ago on the highway between Bangkok and Pattaya, according to 20min.ch. The motif was intended to draw attention to the opening of the wax museum planned for November. The advertisement is not the first of its kind in Thailand. Back in 1998, a Hitler figure was shown in an advertising film for potato potato chips, with the swastika turning into the product's lettering at the end.
