The ad is cute, I love it.

I realize that Nando's did violate Zimbabwe law by insulting His Excellency Robert G Mugabe but this tyrant C Sucker deserves it.

Hopefully soon the UN will be conducting an autosy on Mr Mugabe and find (like with Colonel Kaddafy) somebody shoved a bayonet up his ass.

Bravo to the Ad ! If Nando's was in The States I would let them know.

Unfortunate he wouldn't be dining alone though Kim Jong Ill is still sucking wind.

Damn that's a funny commercial. It should win an award.

Under Zimbabwe law, it is an offence to insult Mr. Mugabe or undermine the authority of his office.

Anyone that needs a law saying you can't insult me desperately needs to be insulted. We should have a Let's Insult Robert Mugabe day.

The Associated Press notes of the dictator friendships portrayed in the video that Mugabe once maintained “close ties” with Gaddafi, that Chairman Mao’s China helped train Mugabe's guerrillas and that in 1986 Mugabe played host to Saddam Hussein at a world summit of the Non-Aligned Movement.

The ad also includes deceased Ugandan dictator Idi Amin and South African prime minister P.W. Botha.

Clever ad I must say. Though Mugabe isn't really the last dictator left. Someone mentioned Kim Jong-iL. There's also Bashar al-Assad, the Saudi Royal family, Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus, to name a few more people who deserve a good Mussolini type end to their rule.

Don't forget it's an ad from South Africa and it was made in the context there. I don't think Mugabe has much to do with crazy Kim.
