Canada’s largest phone carrier had to apologize after a vintage Sex Pistols “BELSEN WAS A GAS” pin appeared in billboard ads for its cellphones.
The ads for Bell Canada’s Solo discount service showed a young woman decked out in flashy punk rock attire, with a button that reads “Belsen was a gas” — the controversial title of a song by the Sex Pistols, and a reference to Nazi Germany’s Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
