In defence of newspapers and serendipity
I agree that you should be allowed to make fun of (almost) anything, including, of course, Adolf Hitler. And the fact that the Hitler video meme is so popular is probably a good thing, because it shows how far away the horrors of the WWII are. But at the same time, that also worries me - because what happened then should never be forgotten. "Those who fail to respect history are doomed to repeat it" wrote one commenter over at TechCrunch. That may be a bit too dark - but isn't there some truth in that as well?
A) smashing their head with blunt instruments
B) hanging them while still alive on meat hooks
C) gassing them
D) shooting them
E) Pick whatever method of execution I omitted in A through D

Puh-leez
B. I have found this to be one of the funniest memes the Web has yet to produce.
C. It is precisely because of its absurdity and tastelessness that makes it so.
well, you don't know but i have a wonderful sense of humor. i thought i explained why i believe this is in poor taste. maybe if some of your relatives were tortured and then murdered, you'd be less likely to dismiss disagreement with priggish snark.
