Quoted from cougtv:In regards to the down votes. Some people just don’t get happy and excited to see a parody of a horrible man who was in charge of attempted genocide. Maybe the pro Hitler meme (if that is the wrong word sorry) people are fans of the Pittsburgh shooter too? Maybe you say too soon?
Some things are just horrible and should not be made lite of imo. You can make the claims that you’re ridiculing hitler, but how long should one wait before millions of people dead is funny? Calculate that same time frame and you should probably be immortalizing the Pittsburgh shooter also! 911 memes next? I think nazism (still around today) should not be a joke. Not that you can’t, but probably shouldn’t, just like black face!
Free speech is great. “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”. That said I get to voice my opinion and down vote any who wants to make lite of the nazis.
Well, laughing at Hitler has been an accepted way of diminishing his power, since at least 1968 (The Producers).
The Hitler videos are just lame because they are played out as if their name was Sega. The first time I saw one - like 10 years ago - I got a chuckle out of it.
And hopefully they've driven some people to see the movie, which is frankly riveting.
