Saddam image on pre-paid calling cards

tarjeta_movistar_saddam.jpg Wireless operator Telefónica has been obliged to withdraw from the Brazilian market 200'000 pre-paid calling cards depicting US soldiers capturing Saddam Hussein.

"The card belongs to the series "History of the World" and has generated a lot of negative reactions and a legal action which forced Telefónica to retire it from the market."
