Sorry, sorry, sorry

"We sincerely apologize for this ad. Because it was intended for the Indian market, the image was reversed showing Mr. Berlusconi at the wheel of a right-hand drive car. [India, like much of the former British Empire, drives on the left.] Because Italians drive on the right, and Mr. Berlusconi is a well-known Italian macho (if aging) roué,  we deeply regret the impression that he is merely a passenger."
