The best part was the quote that they did not know that this would cause offense! Really?!!! I doubt it.

[st_swithin]

Dude, they knew too much.

WE KNEW TOO MUCH!

[Proteus_MST]

SS-Runes and the Swastika together with the Reichskriegsadler and they didn´t think it could be offensive for some people

They must have lived in another world if they didn´t know that there are people around, who don´t like those Symbols a bit, espescially in Combination

[st_swithin]

I don't know; no-one got too upset when they nailed that toad to the cross.

[Dis]

what's wrong with nazi symbols?

[Imran Siddiqui]

That's pretty funny. We had noooo idea .

[st_swithin]

I think that WAS the idea.
:P

[Verto]

Who cares?

[st_swithin]

NOBODY!

Further on, it notes:

In April, soft drink giant Coca-Cola pulled a promotional robot figurine adorned with what appeared to be Nazi swastikas following criticism from a Jewish leader in Hong Kong.

Have a Coke and a smile... plus a swastika-adorned robot? What the hell is wrong with these people?

[MattH]

Some people are too stupid to live.

[Solly]

It is quite a fetching design.

[JohnT]

... waits for someone to make a snide remark as to that British politician that Bods supports...

[Solly]

It looks like the American eagle thing.

[JohnT]

Yes, eagles tend to look like eagles. Good catch, that observation.
