it might be an advert but it's not exactly 'offensive' is it? Some argentinians think the Falklands belong to Argentina... that's not offensive, is it? It's just wrong. people need to get over themselves. Stop being offended and start not caring.

The advert seems to seek to cheapen the sacrifice of their soldiers, more than it does harm to the UK.

Here's a link to the story

He's dropped for a tournament this month, not necessarily for the Olympics, though the Argentinian Olympic Committee have attempted to distance themselves from the video.
