Mark, you are either being a twot on purpose, or you are trolling. Isn't that the same thing?

Good job on trolling. Give the log on back to the Greek when you are done.

Markos, don't run that banner.
It's really a no-go.

Why not? Because millions died during World War II,
and that's in fact not a topic to make fun about.
OBL is a nice boy compared to hitler. He only killed a few thousands.

and of course it's not hitler, but it's someone pretending to be hitler. I pherhaps this person tries to make a parody or whatever, but the parody is not complete. It's for 90% of the people just a picture of hitler with the text 'this is not hitler' next to it.

You really should not do it.
I'm really serious about that.

I've seen the film Mark. It lost it's comedic value in 1938 or 39 or 42, depending on where you live.

I am very surprised that this needs to be explained.

the film was released in 1940
and it's not comedy in the sense of the Naked Gun series, it's satire, it's condemnation.

and it talks about the oppresion of the jews! the holocaust only proved the film to be correct on it's message, on it's warning

No, cause I donīt. I laugh at the satirical portraying of a evil dictator. In "The dictator" in "Children of the revolution" in "South Park" in Roberto Begninis "Life is wonderful" etc, etc.

Sometimes laughing is all you can do.

Mark. It is offensive. I don't care what justifications you jump through. I don't find it funny.

btw, 1940 was when Chaplin and America were still safe and sound. Did he or anyone make another like it in 42 or later; or most importantly, after the horrible truth was known? No.

You may want to yank chains from time to time. That's fine. I am a n00b as far as these things go, but I expected better of you.
