Chaplin may have been trying to obtain an admirable goal.

What are you doing?

There's a fine line between politically correct and having some class and taste.

You blast us for being PC, I blast you for being tasteless.

Dress it up all you want, but I know I certainly wouldn't buy anything from a store with the ads like Markos wants to run, and evidently I'm not the only one, so perhaps Markos should think twice unless he really doesn't care about selling them...

nye, once again you completely miss the point...

[notyoueither]

Yada, yada, yada.

I don't think you are mature enough to understand the point yet, comrade.

Taste is also a matter of opinion. Lenny Bruce was considered tasteless in the ´60s. ´cause he joked about things noone had done before.

No, your not the only one. You have at least...ooohhh...10 people with you. Yeah, consumer power!!

Was Lenny Bruce trying to sell stuff?

Think of it more of a percentage.

There's a difference between doing gags like this (reminds me of the Gay Speedskating Hitler on SNL) and using it to sell a product. The poll speaks for itself, and those are a lot of lost sales due to a boneheaded advertising move.

If you have to drag up the maturity argument you have already lost...

Yada, yada, yada all you like...

Go ahead, Afro. Give me your best shot.

You'll have to do better than that last lame ass attempt though.

Two other example feturing Hitler is "Springtime for Hitler" by jewish actor/director Mel Brooks. And the National Bocialist Party skit in "Monty Pythons Flying Cirkus" In fact MP went out of their way to break taboos and do comedy on sex, nazism, violence, religion, etc, etc.

And you know what? People loved it!!! Well, obviously not ALL people, but enough to make both MP and Mel Brooks filthy rich...

Isn´t it past your bedtime soon, nye?

[notyoueither]

Not for you sweet heart. You wish.

[Zoid]

ooh, great comeback... You must astound your fellow aussies with your awesome repartee...

[MarkG]

here's something offensive

Russian Rhapsody (1944)


plot: Adolf Hitler sends his greatest pilot to bomb Moscow: himself. But his mission is sabotaged by gremlins, little creatures who attack not only his plane, but Der Fuhrer's person.

[notyoueither]

That made a lot of sense.

[notyoueither]

Hint, comrade. Look at the flag.
