We just stumbled across this interesting tid-bit from the folks over at Ha’Aretz, who report on an interesting — and eye-opening — media campaign from the Russian English-language network Russia Today.
In an effort to get its viewers to think deeper about long-held geopolitical views, Russia Today created the above ad which asks “Who is More Dangerous?” — accompanied by the photo above — which super-imposes Pres. Obama’s face over Ahmadinejad.
The campaign — which was censored here in the USA and rejected by airports nationwide — comes at a time when Pres. Obama is both trying to warm up to his colleagues at the Kremlin as well as end the risk of nuclear war.
The campaign — which also included an ad featuring a British soccer fan and a Nazi, among others — failed to garner much attention here in the USA. But did set blogs abuzzing over in Russia.
