Nando's Ad With Mugabe, Dead Dictators Pulled in Zimbabwe

Zimbabwean strongman funnyman Robert Mugabe cavorts with other reviled world leaders—Mao, Saddam, Gaddafi, Idi Amin, P.W. Botha—in this amusing spot from the Nando's fast-food chain in South Africa. The commercial closes by cheekily noting that "at this time of year, no one should have to eat alone," as Mugabe sits glumly at an otherwise empty banquet table. All the other dictators shown here are, of course, now dead. Boo hoo! Nando's has pulled the ad in Zimbabwe, citing threats made against local workers by militants affiliated with Mugabe's ZANU-PF party.
