This Nike ad featuring England young turk Wayne Rooney, apparently, is drawing all kinds of ire in England.

"This is such a horrible image and is so horribly war-like that it can only be described as Nike being crass, offensive and insensitive as they try to hitch poor old Rooney to their commercial band-wagon," said Labour MP Stephen Pound.
