The puppy chewing the head off of OBL.

What is funny about an actor in the 30's doing the salute dressed as Hitler?

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

I would edit, however this is going rather fast...

Mark, do you think Chaplin would have made that pic in 1952?

Why is it that comedians do not use that subject for 'humour' (that I've ever heard).

Answer. It ain't funny to a lot of people.

Sorry Mark, I see Chaplin doing the salute. What do you see?

Before several million people died it might have been funny.

Do you think it retains that humour factor?

I don't see anything wrong with it. Now if it said "by 'poly or I will kill one million jews", then I would have a problem with it. Its the same line of humour as the "soup nazi" joke.

Rule of Thumb

Support Apolyton

If you really have to ask "should I run this banner", the answer is no.

The object of advertising is to sell your product, and one of the ways to do that is not to offend people.

Stick to something safer, there's no point in this ****.

nye, Yes it is! And it reminds me of the hilarious "Adolf Hitler world tour" T-shirt. Which had the Führer on the front and tour dates on the back. With 'Cancelled' stamped over the England gig...

Not many people see the irony though

Take a page out of the lessons learned by A&F:
They made those "Two Wongs can make it White" cartoon t-shirts about a laundromat thinking it was pretty funny, but pretty soon they had people protesting and boycotting their store so they later pulled it and apologized

I can not believe that a person exposed to a liberal education after 1950 could say that in all seriousness.

You must be trolling. Has AH got hold of your log on?
