U.S.âeBay today released a statement that they will be pulling Mein Kampf from their site after the shocking discovery that Hitler drew a Chinese character in the margin who was eating with chopsticks.
âWe are horrified and saddened to discover that Adolph Hitler engaged in racist caricatures like this,â said a spokesman for eBay. âAll of us deeply regret that customers enjoying a nice socialist manifesto were unwillingly exposed to such harmful bigotry. We express our deepest apologies and hope our oversight about Hitler has not contributed to racial violence against the Chinese.â
Other major distributors quickly followed suit, with Amazon additionally stopping all sales of chopsticks to people with Asian-sounding names. After seeing what corporations were doing, the Biden administration bravely denounced Hitlerâs drawing and said it will be issuing executive orders imposing restrictions on Chinese restaurants so no one will ever be exposed to the harmful sight of an actual Chinese person eating with chopsticks.
Journalists questioned if there might also be problematic text in Mein Kampf, but Biden explained that âunlike a cartoon, putting people in camps and committing genocide is simply a different cultural norm! Weâve got to understand that President Xi needs to bring unity by doing lots of the same things that Hitler did, and we canât be out there acting like he might order peopleâs torture while eating with chopsticks. Thatâs racism, systemic, kung pao! Open Biden!"
Bless the BEE
IIRC, you can’t sell any Hitler memorablia on Ebay.
ROTFL!
“IIRC, you can’t sell any Hitler memorablia on Ebay.”
Seriously? That’s what you came up with to say. I think a Fact Checking job at Snopes is for you! LOL
Yes, that makes sense...
because no one has seen a Chinese person eat with chopsticks since....lunch.
Couple of years ago I bought a copy of “Mien Kampf’’. Had to buy it on line. Books stores won’t carry it.
Mien Kampf is the biggest, most incoherent, convoluted turgid pile of bs I ever tried to read.
After a few chapters I gave up.
At start of WWII, Churchill was the only world leader to read it and know what an insano they all were dealing with.
You can’t sell any more of Hitler’s Mien Kampf or Certain Dr. Suess books on ebay 🤔
“Zwei Bande in Eminem Band? Oh, never mind.
"Zwei bände in einem band," two volumes in one.
My copy has a scribble of a Jew with a big nose.
You lasted longer than me I think. I recall I didn’t make it very far into it. Believe it or not I got my copy from the local public library back in my university days. There was a preface in my edition giving various warnings including its incomprehensibility.
Good one!
Trying to read that unintelligible mess literally gave me a headache.
Must be great fun to write for the Bee these days. Though satirizing ratland is going to get harder and harder as reality melds with farce.
Thanks for the ping.
Well, I guess Hitler really WAS a bad person!
DANG!
