I found it funny, laughed my behind off thru much of the movie.

A lot people forget how funny the Nazis and the Holocaust really are.

I guess you never saw a Mel Brooks movie (or Hogan's Heros)...

lighten up, nobody is saying that Schindlers List should be nominated for comedy of the year. Many people find this type of humor to their liking but it doesn't mean they endorse something like the holocaust. I think movies that break down the PC walls in this country and challenge those leftist principles through comedy, hilarious e.g. Southpark, The Family Guy, most Mel Brooks works, Da Ali G. Show, etc. etc. This doesn't mean I uphold the wholesale killing of any people regardless of comedy at their expense.

Yes!

Like in Hogan's Heroes . . . one of the famous jokes, when talking about one of the Generals, went something like, "He may be a pain in the butt, but he did kill a lot of Jews, so you gotta like him."

It makes fun of the anti-semite, not the other way around.

You must have hated The Producers and believed "Springtime for Hitler in Germany" to be a recruiting tool.

Guess that whole "early 40's" thing was just a botched joke, yes? ; )

Obviously those people need to see "The Producers".
