When Enrique Pena
Nieto hosted towering King Felipe of Spain this week, it was a
tongue-in-cheek paint ad ridiculing his 10- inch height deficit
that grabbed the headlines.
On Wednesday, Mexican paint company Comex posted on Twitter a
digitally-altered photograph of the president standing on one of
its paint pots, giving him a leg up over the monarch under the
banner "una pintura de altura," or "a paint of stature."
Comex apologized on Thursday for the photograph, deleting the
post after it had been heavily retweeted. It said the Tweet was
published "without the appropriate approvals".
