I don't know.  Artists have used legally used trademarks without permission 
before.  Andy Warhol is an example.  It depends on how it is used and the 
laws of the countries involved.  

This is art.  It makes a socially relevant comment.  Here in the US you 
would be protected by the first amendment to our consititution.

I would say that even if there was a legal issue, the companies would not 
be likley to pursue action if the legal fees exceed the amount recoverable.  
However this poster might be a zazzle bestseller :)
