NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on Tuesday called on Amazon.com Inc to remove "irresponsible and offensive" subway advertisements for a new television show featuring Nazi-inspired imagery.

The advertisements for "The Man in the High Castle" completely wrap the seats, walls and ceilings of one train on the heavily utilized shuttle line that connects Times Square and Grand Central Terminal in midtown Manhattan.

The show depicts an alternate reality in which Nazi Germany and Japan have divided control over the United States after winning World War Two.

Poor, delicate progressives. They just can’t handle words, images or flags.

I just started watching this show. Good story and I’m enjoying it. It isn’t “the usual.”

The Americans is another one I can’t wait to see more of.

” While these ads technically may be within MTA guidelines, they’re irresponsible and offensive to World War II and Holocaust survivors, their families, and countless other New Yorkers, said de Blasio “

I didn’t know you could stack stupid that high.

That’s “Nazi themed”?

It looks like a mash-up of an German iron cross and the eagle from a federal alphabet soup department.

I absolutely loved “The Americans” but haven’t seen this new one.
