i didn't see a bit where he's training on a war memorial? it's only mentioned in the title of the article too.
pretty low, but as it's just a shit tv spot and not an invasion, i can appreciate them trying to stick it up the brits.

Back to advertising.....

Seems pretty harmless. It doesn't send a particularly positive message to it's Argentine audience (we sneakily sent an athlete on to the island when everybody's asleep to do push-ups outside a closed pub - in order to make a cheap political point in the hope of provoking a reaction).
The UK Foreign office taking the bait is predictable though.

Sorrell will do ANYTHING to get results. Checkout his payrise
http://www.campaignlive.co.uk/ne…Alternatively the best statement the Argentinians could make would be to boycott the games. The US did this in 1980 and the soviets in 1984 - both teams basically handed most gold medals to lesser athletes through these nations non-participation.
Making a half-arsed stealth-ad just shows how ridiculous they look. If they grew some balls and boycotted everyone would respect them more. They can't hide behind making sure the games are non-political as they have already done the most sly form of politicising.
The UK recently refused to commit to a firmer alignment with The Falklands but was resolute on backing the Islanders rights to self-government.
As this has evolved from history of turmoil beyond anyones current control (even acknowledging the brutal colonial past of Britain) no one can go in and displace the people who have evolved to live in any given territory.

"Sir Martin Sorrell, chief executive of WPP, was paid £12.9m during 2011, an increase of 56% year on year after his basic pay rocketed 30% and a long-term incentive scheme paid out £5.6m."
