“He’s apparently just 26 years old, but I don’t know how you can live in Thailand even that long without understanding the Lèse-majesté laws...”

Buick ran an ad in China saying their car seats were so comfortable you won’t want to get out of them. They were lambasted for making fun on Xi’s becoming president for life. Very serious for Buick.

What I learned during 35 years in business is that some people in high positions were so paranoid they saw things as aimed at them when no one else did.

'Very serious for Buick.'

Very clever, too, in the circumstance - if they actually meant anything by it :-)
