Fury over Hitler in crisp ad
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.ISRAELI diplomats held firm yesterday that commercials using images of Hitler to sell potato crisps should be pulled off Thai television and an apology is not enough.
Leo Burnett Bangkok, the Thai branch of the Chicago-based ad agency, has apologised for producing the adverts which depict Hitler giving a Nazi salute and cuts to a woman who casts a voodoo spell on him as he eats the crisps, hoping to change his evil ways.
