Under no circumstance should people make jokes re: Hitler.

[DrWeird]

There is absolutely nothing funny about him, or Goering, or Moronica, or odd, anonymous diplomats.


So please, stop with the wisecracking, you numbskulls.

1. Nyuck nyuck nyuck!

*bonk* *poke*

2. Hay waitta minute..the post glorified him to an extent

Would you feel the same if the victims were all the black folks that hung from trees in the south being the butt end of a bad comparison....I deplore bigotry and insensitivity to the suffering of anyone and do my best to be consistent

substitute Jefferson Davis or Sheriff Clarke for Hitler and see if you still see the humor in it.

4. Indeed. That's nothing to laugh at either.

Now where the white women at?

6. *guffaw*

You still make me laugh and not ALL Hitler jokes are in poor taste...but BE FORWARNED...the fact that I think you are funny won't stop me from opening a can a whupass on ya when I think you're begging for it ;)

5. I'm assuming that the "Stooges" still was from a...

WWII-era Hollywood movie that mixed humor and anti-Nazi propaganda. Typical for the era.

Posting it here probably requires a bit more context than is given, or maybe I'm just missing the point entirely. It wouldn't be the first time.

7. I'm not following you

this was about a thread comparing Bush to Hitler that tended to glorify Hitler's accomplishments compared to Bush's...the thread is gone now.

9. Oh. I didn't know that. I just saw the Stooges and...

...was commenting on that. Sorry I missed the original thread.

[HEyHEY]

3. WELL ZIEG HAIL Dr. Wierd

Yes lord and master - ;-)

Actually I see where you're coming from

8. If anybody had the right to poke fun...

it woulda been the Stooges. Moe (Moses), Curly (Jerome) and Shemp (Shmuel)Howard (original last name Horowitz) AND Larry Fine (Louis Feinberg) ALL JEWS!

If Mel Brooks is allowed to do it then so were they. I don't dig on the Stooges, but they could poke as much fun as they wanted at Hitler's expense.

10. Nobody has a right to poke fun at Hitler. Especially the English.

Here's a shot of Hitler testing his horrifying V-joke.



Goebbels: how does it smell?

Hitler: Terrible.
