There's a fine line between politically correct and having some class and taste.
You blast us for being PC, I blast you for being tasteless.
Dress it up all you want, but I know I certainly wouldn't buy anything from a store with the ads like Markos wants to run, and evidently I'm not the only one, so perhaps Markos should think twice unless he really doesn't care about selling them...

Yada, yada, yada.
I don't think you are mature enough to understand the point yet, comrade.

Taste is also a matter of opinion. Lenny Bruce was considered tasteless in the ´60s. ´cause he joked about things noone had done before.

Think of it more of a percentage.
There's a difference between doing gags like this (reminds me of the Gay Speedskating Hitler on SNL) and using it to sell a product. The poll speaks for itself, and those are a lot of lost sales due to a boneheaded advertising move.

Two other example feturing Hitler is "Springtime for Hitler" by jewish actor/director Mel Brooks. And the National Bocialist Party skit in "Monty Pythons Flying Cirkus" In fact MP went out of their way to break taboos and do comedy on sex, nazism, violence, religion, etc, etc.
And you know what? People loved it!!! Well, obviously not ALL people, but enough to make both MP and Mel Brooks filthy rich...

here's something offensive
Russian Rhapsody (1944)
plot: Adolf Hitler sends his greatest pilot to bomb Moscow: himself. But his mission is sabotaged by gremlins, little creatures who attack not only his plane, but Der Fuhrer's person.

Mark, go ahead and run it.
See if we care, just don't be surprised that most people think you're a moron.

well it seems that those disagreeing havent seen the film
which is really a pitty....

THIS is not the movie,
THIS is just a picture of someone who looks like Hitler, who tries to look like hitler, who WANTS to look like hitler.
like I said before, it would be different if you would run the movie in the banner. But you don't do that, you just pick one segment out of it.
and your reason is not to put up some satire for the 3rd reich, but just to make profit.
pherhaps that's the most important reason to not do it,
charly chaplin at least got a message, all you want is profit.
