Royal Nepal Airlines has apologized to the country of Peru after using pictures of Machu Picchu in its advertisements. Oddly, Nepal’s embassy put out this statement, "As a consequence, the Nepalese airline fired an employee in the rank
of a manager…" Why did they include his level? And why bother noting that they fired a low-to-mid level employee over this? The story also notes, "From a distance, some mountain temples in the Himalayas could be mistaken for Incan ruins." So there ya go.
