A meme of Milo Yiannopoulos’ face on a tin of the popular Australian milk drink has rubbed Nestle up the wrong way.
The meme was shared online by political commentator Mark Latham in support of the right-wing firebrand’s up coming Australian tour.
It showed Mr Yiannopoulos’ face on the iconic tin beside the comment: ‘It’s marvelous what a difference Milo makes.’
However, the photo was brought to the attention of Nestle, who have said they had forwarded the image to their legal team because it was an ‘inappropriate’ use of their logo.
Nestle responded online saying they would forward the image to their legal team because it was an inappropriate use of their logo (pictured)
‘Our MILO logo and tin has not been approved to be used in this way and we will share this information with our legal team,’ Nestle’s Milo Team wrote.
Mr Yiannopoulos, who is famous for criticising feminism, Islam and political correctness, was banned from Twitter after being blamed for a campaign of abuse directed towards Ghostbusters star Leslie Jones.
The commentator is touring Australia in early December, causing a petition to be launched to have him banned from the country.
The meme was aimed at ‘PC speech codes and left-wing narratives’ who don’t want the British commentator, who publicly supported Donald Trump in the US election, to tour Australia.
Mr Latham, who is a former Australian Labor Party and Leader of the Opposition, shared the meme asking people to sign a petition ‘to ensure’ Mr Yiannopoulos can come to Australia at the end of the year.
‘Don’t let the extremists stop Milo from coming to Australia,’ Mark Latham Outsiders petition said.
