You have to ask yourself this question...a costume shop goes out and has a Nazi uniform for rent...who would rent it? I can't think of a single person I know...that would rent the thing. Now, if you had a gorilla outfit, or a pirate outfit, or a Santa Claus suit...then maybe...but a Nazi outfit? I won't blame this kid...he had to have handlers behind him each day...and they should have advised him of the stupid situation.
I think the kid ought to be packed up and sent off to a ranch in southern Colorado for four years...and let him mature out of public sight. Thats the best way for a guy like him to get life-smart.
I agree. The fact is that he is an idiot and so is whoever handles him. He should have known the uproar that he would cause. That still doesn't justify government leaders demanding apologies and and insisting that he go to Auschwitz. Is he an idiot? yes. Is he antisemitic? I don't know. The world press and governments are wasting their energy and resources with this.
Uh, Mel Brooks.
