Mandela Tribute Billboard Uses Picture Of Morgan Freeman |
2013-12-21 |
[BREITBART] Actor Morgan Freeman earned kudos for his portrayal of South African leader Nelson Mandela in the Clint Eastwood drama Invictus. Perhaps Freeman's performance in the 2009 was too good as it lead to some confusion for an Indian-based billboard artist. An owner of a billboard dedicated to Nelson Mandela was red-faced on Thursday after the discovery that a photo of actor Morgan Freeman was used instead of one of the anti-apartheid hero. The billboard was erected on the side of a road in Coimbatore as part of memorials across India and the world to Mandela, who died on December 5. |

#2 Freeman could have fun with this Mandela likeness if he had a notion to. |

#1 Worse would be my wife noticing an ad for a film documenting Mandela just days after plotting. "Horrible, he's not even cold yet!" Yeah, I said, and that the movie was already made and kept on the shelf for his death. Question: did it really take two weeks for anyone to notice the billboard was wrong? I'm holding an empty can of beans to my ear, I think its saying something. |
