FULL TITLE: World war brew: J.C. Penney places huge billboard advert over Interstate Highway for kettle 'that looks just like Hitler'

Retailer J.C. Penney may want to rethink the design of their new kettle after a string of customers complained it looks remarkably like Hitler.

The retailer advertised the new kettle - which is exclusively available in its stores - on a huge billboard over the 405 Interstate Highway in southern California.

But rather than being tempted into buying new kitchen equipment, commuters driving along the route near Culver City found themselves instantly reminded of the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.

Several motorists took pictures of the sign, which is around 10 foot tall and 36 foot wide, and posted it on Twitter along with their views about the kettle's resemblance to the World War II dictator.

“I was talking to a 25 year old who didn’t know who JFK was and had never heard of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. He graduated in the top 5% of his HS class. So it’s entirely possible that the 25 year old in marketing had never heard of or seen Hitler”

I see your point. I forgot about the publik skools.

Daffy I used to see stuff like that on ebay all the time! No joke. When ebay used to have their blogs someone made me aware of it and posted such images of items for sale. Some you could tell like this picture but some you really had to look carefully. The person who posted these images had become quite the expert in finding them however so he knew what to look for.

I think there's a web site devoted to all the kinds of eBay reflectoporn stuff. It's funny.

JCP should turn this lemon into lemonade and develop other meme related products

Why wouldn't they? I haven't been there for years, but I assume that they still have a home section.

Aren't they great. I understand *Hitler* cats in shelters have a hard time being adopted.

Is this a case of the Pol Pot calling the kettle Hitler?

Anyway, it is a change of pace from seeing Mother Teresa in a bran muffin.
