Richard Gere, Fiat and a lack of balls

“Fiat Group extends its apologies to the Government of the People's Republic of China and to the Chinese people. The choice of Mr. Richard Gere in connection with the launch of Lancia Delta was based on his long and distinguished career in the arts, and the choice of the subject matter by Mr. Gere is a reflection of our commitment to artistic freedom of expression. This choice should not be understood as an endorsement by Fiat Group of Mr. Gere's social and political views."

Akkk, you fucking whimps. Why are you apologizing??

"a reflection of our commitment to artistic freedom of expression"

Except when it offends rich totalitarians.

Fiat, you are cowards.
