BOXING FANATICS RIOT OVER DANISH CARTOONISH PHOTO OF MUHAMMAD ALI
A photo ad allegedly featuring "The Greatest" selling cookery has boxing fans rioting in the streets of Denmark, the country that published the faux foto in the current issue of their top magazine, "Denmark's The Spot". The issue, which features a story on the world's most controversial Olympics ads, has upset devout sports nuts and rope-a-dopes everywhere. "We believe in Ali, we love Ali, we worship Ali, Ali is all", said one boxing fanatic, who told NNN he's followed the boxer's career religiously. "To see him reduced to a corporate lapdog like this is offensive Satanic blasphemy we won't sit still for." The punchy fan then threw a rock through a window, defacing the largest building in Copenhagen: the Ministry of Free Love and Drugs.
Below is the offending advertisement which, incidentally, The Rose Review published back in the fall of 2004, scooping all other news networks.
