When the music video for "Undercover of the Night" was seen on VH1's Pop-Up Video series, one of the scenes in the video that has a sign outside the hotel reading "BIENVENIDOS SAN SALVADOR" (tr.: WELCOME TO SAN SALVADOR), the PUV quote balloon suggests that was "false advertising."

How can the message outside that hotel that translates as "Welcome to San Salvador!" be considered false advertising?

"Undercover" was a very political statement by The Rolling Stones, not "Welcome" to the Government in San Salvador ...

And not welcome to the US-Government, too. The video was boycotted by MTV.
