Way to go, Warner Bros.

Apparently, the fine folks at Warner Brothers have no clue what The Wizard of Oz is about, otherwise they probably wouldn't have used it in this ad.

I mean, sure, this accurately reflects the true state of things; a big, blustering, powerless figurehead trying to intimidate those who really hold all the cards, but I doubt this is the message that they really want to convey. Way to go, fellas.

The Casablanca one is pretty despicable too, though that films theme of sacrificing ones own happiness to fight fascism could apply to more than one side of the situation. Maybe.
