Amazon tweaks app icon after comparisons made to Hitler

Looks like a happy little cardboard Adolf to me,” one person said on Twitter.

It doesn’t look like Hitler to me. Hitler only had one testicle. That looks like a pretty rigid phallus. And I’m sure it was intentional.

So now it is Hitler with a blue moustache after he sneezed while trimming it but he is still smiling.
Because everthing is Hitler.

It is as though all society is suffering mental illness. Mass insanity. How frightening that so many people have lost any grasp on reality.

These people need to get a life, and focus on something more important. For example, consider this. Facebook’s logo is an “f”. Hitler’s title - Fuehrer - starts with that exact same letter!!! A coincidence? I think not!
