Banned Bill Clinton voodoo doll commercial
Examiner.com ^ | Dec. 29, 2009 | RĂ©ne Girard

Former President Bill Clinton and a voodoo doll were featured in a commercial shown in The Netherlands by Centraal Beheer, an insurance company known for it's innovative commercials with little dialog and humorous unexpected twists.

The Clinton commercial must not have sat well with Bill or Hillary or someone in our Government who failed to see the humor in it because the commercial "was quickly taken off television at the request of the American government." ~ Wikimedia

Even though ... "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" - this action by our Government sends a very clear message: "Don't get too happy when it comes to mocking our great Democratic leaders." ...

(see article for actual commercial)

I remember this. I thought it very funny.

I don’t think it in good taste to do this to a sitting president, but this isn’t an American commercial.

From what I can tell, the commercial was released when Bill was out of office.
