I love you, Relaxed Hitler

Apparently people are in an uproar over this ad for Turkish tea brand Rasayana featuring a Hitler who’s much more relaxed than you would have thought he’d be given all the yelling and mustache-wearing. Oh and Jewish genociding. That’s a big part of our perception of him too, i’d assume.

Now while I can’t say that Adolf Hitler is high on the list of people who are deserving of endorsements, it is a pretty clever ad. And it worked on me. I like Jews, I don’t want to kill them. So maybe I should drink this tea to ensure I don’t just wake up this morning and go, “Ach der lieber” and wind up murdering tens of millions of innocent Jewish people. Would it have happened without the tea? I don’t know. But better to be safe than sorry.

It’s “Ach DU lieber”, actually.

Well, it’s just me impersonating Hitler, so you can’t expect flawless German. That’d be foolish.

I pretty much approve any comment that isn’t a spam. If people want to look stupid in a public forum, they can go ahead and do so. Who am I to judge?

To adhd: I would much rather have a genocidal dictator than one who supports the kind of free-speech repressing bullshit you are advocating.
To Chris: well put. I’ve never been to this site before, was just following a few random links, but it’s nice to see a random moderator on a random website out in the vast interweb who isn’t a dickhead. Kind of gives one hope for the future.

6 million, tens of millions…. either way a lot of people died in that war, camps or no camps, and it’s people denying it happened when there is PROOF, that make them hypocritical idiots.

Cool – I think that’s quite a clever ad and like the humor.
Can someone send some of that tea to Robert Mugabe please?
