dcnovice -> Shampoo ad using Hitler’s image sparks outrage (3/26/2012 4:46:51 PM)
quote: A new Turkish shampoo commercial featuring video of Adolf Hitler declaring the hair rinse a product for "real men" has been met with formal complaints from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and others who say it is deeply offensive. Story and video at Yahoo News Terrible confession: The commercial made me laugh, but then my sense of humor is twisted. I do understand why others would be enraged. WTF was the ad agency thinking?!

I find no problem with it. Some people just have nothing better to do then search out things to be offended by.

quote: That it was funny? Yes it was. And I'm Jewish and my Granny R was in Europe during WW2 so if anybody has a right to be offended I do. I wasn't, any more than I am offended by Chaplin's The Great Dictator. It makes fun of Hitler, and that's never a bad thing, is it? I sent the link to my Granny J and asked her to get Granny R's opinion of it, I'll let you know what she said.

I challenge you to find something Mel Brooks hasn't made fun of. [;)] Granny R's response was that while she didn't find it funny, she also didn't find it offensive.

FR Springtime for Hitler is very funny. To Be or Not To Be directed by Ernst Lubitsch and starring Jack Benny and Carole Lombard which Mel remade is very funny. You Nazty Spy! with the Three Stooges which came out a few months before The Great Dictator is very funny. So, ridiculing Hitler and showing him as a buffoon has it's merits. Obviously those doling it out were brilliant which always helps. I didn't find it very funny but not really offensive. But I'm glad it's on Turkish television and I'm not going to have to see it over and over.

And yes I know the movie is The Producers and not Springtime for Hitler.
