Porsche cancels the statue of Christ from advertising for the 60th anniversary, then is ashamed and blocks the commercial
Is there anything worse than a society that goes "Woke" and is ashamed of its origins? Yes, a society that after having converted to political correctness is ashamed of it and cancels the message.
The automotive giant Porsche decides to make a video to celebrate its 60 years of history. He decides to shoot it in Portugal, taking part of the Sierra Arrabida road and then approaching Lisbon, and on the road traveled by the car it passes near the famous, and visible, statue of the "Christ the King". Except that he decides to digitally erase the statue:
Hey, @Porsche , why did you erase the statue of Jesus Christ from your video filmed in Lisbon? pic.twitter.com/VxcfUBrN8D

If you want to see the precise scene you can go to second 44 of the video
They have now made the video private on YouTube.
I'll just leave it here.

why delete a statue that is part of the skyline of the city of Lisbon from the video? Who was afraid of offending Porsche? Do you think a rich emir of the Gulf feels bad because he sees a statue in Lisbon? Aren't we faced with a clamorous case of cultural cancellation? If that was the problem, why didn't he shoot a nice video in the desert, with no buildings?
What's worse than making a politically correct gaffe? Trying to erase its traces and failing! In fact, the video was marked "Private" shortly after being posted. If you go to the LINK you will now see this
As one would say "The patch of the hole is worse", because the video is still present on "X", but Porsche admits that it has made a sensational mistake and tries to hide it.
Is there anything worse than an automaker that would like to base its appeal on its own history, but then erases the history of the places around it? Probably not.
