What's funny about it?

And spare me a history lesson on his family. This is FR where we're well educated and informed. I don't see any humor here.

Well, it's one of those things that I don't really care about... in the sense that I really don't keep up with the comings and goings of the celebrity world.

You should care---you should care a great deal. It's indicative of a sentiment over there and not some isolated youthful expression.

As Red on "That 70s Show" would say, "Dumba$$!"

Well what do you expect of Europeans who hate us so much. They have been idiots for over 200 years.

Are we ging to ban reruns of "Hogan's Heroes" because it's a comedy about Nazis? If that becomes official government policy

It's a comedy where the Nazis were portrayed as loser buffoons. The context is completely different so calm yourself about your silly fears. What "government" and what policy are you nattering about? This happened in England, FGS.

What this idiot did is not the same and I don't just brush it off as harmless.

"Isn't that Dr. Johnny Fever from WKRP radio reading the paper?"



No, it must be the teacher from Head of the Class (Johnny always wore shades).

I agree, a dead ringer for Howard Hesseman.

I have no idea who they asked in this poll or how many.

I would be interested to see this redone with the word Holocaust instead.

I was talking on another thread about this and discussed whether there would be so much outrage if he went dressed as a Soviet or Chicom who are guilty of crimes against humanity too.

Sadly those victims are tragically ignored.

It may not be funny, but it is odd that it is acceptable to dress in costumes mocking most religions, or emulate the devil or various murderers...but it is not acceptable to dress as a Nazi.

So, you REALLY think Harry dressed up in a faux Nazi "uniform" because he espouses Nazi philosophy? REALLY? Isn't it more likely that he dressed that way, at a private party, as, ummm, maybe... A JOKE? The nattering I'm talking about is the Chicken Little droppings from hysterical hand-wringers who can't brush off a stupid joke from a 20-year-old as harmless. Lighten up.

It should be obvious to EVERYONE, even the Brits, that the Roayl Family is composed of an inbred line of dysfunctional nincompoops.

If the Brits want a Roayl Family, they should re-instate the Stuarts, or request the saner Royal Houses of Scandinavia or the Netherlands to provide decent candidates and send the wacky Windsors packing.

Maybe they can get jobs as monarchs in the far east somewhere where normal people are less likely to notice them.

I remember when I was in jr high back in the early 70s a student wore a nazi arm band to school. By third period he had been beat up by his fellow students and sent home by the school. It was no joke for all that had lost grandfathers, uncles and dads to the nazis which this armband represents.

I don't need to "lighten up" as you so condescendingly and idiotically advise.

Um, I'll discuss it if I please. Do not ever tell me to "let it go" again.

Got that?

Here's a hint for you (or whoever types for you) in keyboarding: Use the Caps Lock key when you want to captialize a longer passage, SO EVERYTHING GETS CAPITALIZED, LIKE THIS. When you want to just emphasize a single word, for example, as in "you are a thin-skinned NINNY", you can just hold down the Shift key when you type the word. Hope this helps!
