Qûr Tharkasdóttir writes in to let us know that luxury automobile maker Ferrari is allegedly threatening to sue Swiss NGO Solidar (actually a network of NGOs focused on social justice) for daring to use a Ferrari in their recent commercial that appears to be making fun of rich bankers. The original is here (for now, at least): In response, Solidar has released an updated version of the commercial in which, they've made a small change. See if you can spot it: Just in case you can't see the videos, here are two screenshots. First from the original video: And here's the "new" version. You might spot the change. You'd think that a brand like Ferrari would know better than to threaten a group focused on increasing social justice around the globe. There's no way that argument ends well for Ferrari -- even if they "win."
