Mercedes Apologizes Profusely for Posting a Dalai Lama Quote on Instagram
Posted in: Uncategorized
Another day, another uproar over an ad quoting a Nobel Peace Prize winner.
Mercedes-Benz apologized Tuesday on Weibo, the Chinese microblogging platform, for posting an unspecified but “deeply wrong” message in social media. Press reports in China say the marketer had posted an inspirational quote from the Dalai Lama on its Instagram account, accompanied by a photo of a white luxury car on the beach. “Look at situations from all angles, and you will become more open,” the quote said.
The post was soon erased, but not before some Chinese media outlets captured screen shots.
