Billboard honours Nelson Mandela using picture of Morgan Freeman. Oops.

A public billboard in India has honoured the great Nelson Mandela, with a picture of the great Morgan Freeman.

Oops.

The billboard, posted in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, reads “We should be proud that we were part of an era when they lived.”

Well, Freeman is living in this era, right? Maybe the Indian businessman who financed the sign is just a massive fan The Shawshank Redemption?

Nope. It was a stuff-up: “We will replace it with the correct picture of Mandela,” he told the press.

 

Awkie momo…
