View original postWhat do you think? Does it look like Hitler? Were they right in pulling the kettle and apologizing? Or do you think it's just ridiculous?

it does but only from that one angle - the spout making the raised salute arm is what stops is being a stretch.
I don't think there should be a need to apologise but I suspect there is one, due to the willingness of the media, and people on social media, to create outrage.
The story I read said the poster was pulled but the kettles were a limited run that sold out, and were now selling on Ebay for $200.
