Cartoon Hitler pisses off idiots - GoFuckYourself.com

summary: An artist drew a series of cartoon-like (pop art) hitler and nazi pieces. He displayed them in his gallery just miles from a nazi death camp. People, mostly jews are pissed.

My take on this is that he should be able to display this art and it should get a LOT of attention. As is briefly mentioned in the article, people forget that this guy got millions of germans to follow him and believe whatever he said. He was not a monster when he did all this, he looked like a really attractive option to the people at the time. Someone who embraced classicly German values. Someone you'd want your daughter to marry. When images portraying him as an attractive individual are banned, we are too likely to fall into the trap of expecting our monsters to LOOK like monsters.

my take at least

Sink the eight ball
Buy the lady a drink
And nobody knows my name
Bodies float up
From the bottom of the river
Like bubbles in fine champagne
He's the one, no doubt
Walkin' on a tightrope
He's the one, no doubt
Got a gash on my head
And a grin on my face
And a shadow called danger
Hidin' in the sheets
And on the streets
In the heart of every stranger
Here he comes, look out
Teach the world a lesson
Here he comes, look out
Sweat on the brow
And a tap on the phone
And lives are on the line
Pick up the briefcase
On a high speed chase
Breathin' by the roll
Of the dice
Reachin' up to the top
We're dependin' on you
Reachin' up to the top
in regards to
My usage of the drug...
It modified my personality
To the extent that i was
Highly irritable
i was like a crack hitler
Keep up the fight
And in the wink of an eye
Never give up
Ooo..ahh..
Look out

Sure, I mean, I hope someday an Islamic artist will show his paintings of Osama Bin Laden near Ground Zero.

Let's show the world how open minded the americans are...

Just in case you are not smart enough, that was sarcastic.

No it's not. A more fitting example would be showing the same thing in afghanistan. The point that The german people should be able to see what they put in power.

This guy isnt going to london and painting pictures glorifying bombers that leveled it, its more close to home.

Hagbard, that is the most intelligent thing i have seen anyone on this board write in a long time.
Obviously he was a very charming and charismatic man, this must be true otherwise why would so many people follow him.
No i dont agree with hs ideas, well most of them. Although he did have a great idea for unifying the world, which in theory is great.
This artist is being unfairly treated, he is simply offering us another point of view to consider, which then it is up to us to base our own opinions on, not to suppress his. Sounds to me like some people have their own Hitler complex.
I got into this exact arguement with a gen. ed. teacher in college.
