Dissertation

Dissertation on the editorial illustrations of Gadaffi.

I have found this video on youtube of all the dictators, showing Robert Mugabe morning over his lost friends and shows his fond memories of them hanging out as friends. This video is supposedly an advert for the restaurant Nando's. I have found the website which links to the video written by the Mirror. I am not completely sure if the advert is real or just an viral. I am finding it hard to believe its genuine because how close it is to the line. 

The lonely President of Zimbabwe reminisces about happier times spent with fallen tyrants in the Last Dictator Standing video, promoting the chicken restaurant’s six-pack meal.

He slips into a nostalgic daydream, remembering how the pair used to play fight with water guns, with the Libyan leader clutching a distinctive golden machine gun.

Another scene shows Mugabe and fallen Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein half-stripped to swimming trunks, gleefully making ‘sand angels’ on the beach.

The Zimbabwe leader is also shown giggling as he pushes South Africa’s apartheid-era president PW Botha on a swing, as Mary Hopkins’ ‘Those were the days’ rings out.

In the last amusing flashback, Mugabe is depicted recreating Kate Winslet and Leo DiCaprio’s famous romantic pose from Titanic with Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, while standing on a tank.

The advert ends with a glum-looking Mugabe sitting alone at his dinner table with the tagline “At this time of year, no one should have to eat alone.”
