Daily Mail: By Lee Moran, 09:44 GMT, 17 May 2012
A fleeting two-second appearance of a Diego Maradona lookalike washing floors in an English beer advert has
sparked outrage in Argentina.
Argentinians say they have been 'insulted' by Danish firm Carlsberg's 90-second promo video, which shows
the back of their World Cup winning Hand of God legend with mop in hand.
The advert, aimed at the English market for the national football team's 'official beer', has sparked anger on
social networks - with many demanding a boycott of the firm's products.
