BANGKOK, Thailand - A highway billboard using a saluting Adolf Hitler to advertise a Thai wax museum has been covered up after complaints from the Israeli and German ambassadors, the museum's manager said Sunday.


"The idea came from a creative (advertising) agency, and we did not mean to cause any offence," said Somporn Naksuetrong, the manager of the Louis Tussaud's Waxworks in the seaside resort town of Pattaya.


The billboard, which in Thai language said, "Hitler is not dead," had been up for several weeks on the main road from the capital Bangkok to Pattaya and was meant to promote the museum's planned opening next month.

This displeases Technoviking.
How anyone could be surprised that an advert with Hitler would case offence is beyond me!
