When the Star Wars films aired in Chile, instead of cutting away from the movie for commercial breaks, the TV station “seamlessly” inserted ads for Cerveza Cristal beer. We’re talking Obi-Wan opening a chest to find a lightsaber for Luke and instead it reveals a ice-chest full of beer. Or the Emperor Force-reaching for a lightsaber and a can of beer flies into his hand. And of course the whole thing has turned into a meme.

      Do you see what happens Larry? Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the alps?

      I find that so funny. When looking at a very violent movie, the thing they felt they needed to censor was “offensive” words.
