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.


I actually think if just the handle were contoured differently there wouldn't be a comparison at all. I agree with you that there's no need for an apology, but it's easy to see why they would and I can't fault them for it.

You could be right about the sales, probably way more people own this kettle now than would ever have before.

If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.

This may not have made the news outside of the U.S. The infamous J.C. Penney billboard. Sareitha Sedai - 04/06/2013 07:09:01 PM 1107 Views
I'm afraid you're wrong in that. It did make the news outside of the U.S. Legolas - 04/06/2013 07:46:19 PM 588 Views
