Back in the teapot: It did not take long for drivers on the 405 Freeway Southern inorbit mall vashi California - where plans go to die tonight - noticed something in the sky that looked a little strange. It was a billboard promoting this new kitchen essential. But there was no mistaking its so JCPenney is selling a new teapot that looks sort of like Adolf Hitler. Well, whenever a teapot can actually appear as a fascist dictator. But it does. And, really, it might be the greatest advertising gaffe you will ever see. At least until Gilbert Gottfried somehow became a spokesman for Tampax. "Damn it, Jim, what were we thinking?" Resemblance. Pure Hitler. Though, to be fair, as a spectator of life and a front row seat, I do enjoy conflict. Because if you're going to accidentally have your product resembles a famous person, somehow, by a strange laws of comedy that can not be explained, the absolute worst being in the history of the world is far more entertaining than, say, Tom Hanks. Now, understand that this particular teapot, inorbit mall vashi JCPenney's exclusive collection from Michael Graves Design, quickly went viral after images of the billboard inorbit mall vashi appeared inorbit mall vashi on Reddit and Twitter. (Not to be confused with the classic Eagles double album by the same name.) Now, in case you can not quite figure inorbit mall vashi out the similarities of images notice teapot, which occupies the top swoops wider on one side mimicking Hitler's dark curtain hair. The knob on the lid closely resembles the infamous trademark toothbrush mustache. But spout rises into the air as if he was giving a Nazi salute. That, or he just got Eva Braun coffee maker. Either way, it's him. However, at the moment I can not confirm whether that is the Hitler teapot is designed with only one testicle. Clearly, that little attention to detail would prove this was far more than a simple inorbit mall vashi coincidence. Mind you, the standard two testicles would be equally concerning. Regardless, I'm still willing to give JCPenney benefit of the doubt that this was all just an accident. (The retailer did not respond to our requests for comment.) And that's when things are turned deliciously melodramatic. inorbit mall vashi Democratic mayor of Culver City, Jeffrey Cooper, complained to Mother Jones magazine: "I'm disappointed inorbit mall vashi JCPenney actually put this billboard up in the first place .... As a Jew, I am offended, (and) as an elected official, I am crazy in the city, I linked to represent inorbit mall vashi this. "Presumably, he then the heavy breathing into a paper bag for half an hour while listening to Enya. In the end, it's just a minor blip in the cosmos. But in a social perspective, what's really interesting inorbit mall vashi is that Hitler inorbit mall vashi - at least as an iconic image - do not seem to have the same meaning to a newer generation that is far removed from his horror inorbit mall vashi and misfortune crime. Kind of like Genghis Khan to anyone during the last 700 years. These days, many Hitler had just become sort of a caricature, having transcended inorbit mall vashi the reality inorbit mall vashi of evil in something far more abstract. Such a teapot. Seriously, pull yourself together, man. If anything, here's what you said: "Yep. Definitely looks like Hitler. Surprised they did not see it, but I'm pretty sure there was no intention to offend anyone. My guess is they'll take down the billboard and apologize. "Which is exactly what JCPenney did. They took down the billboard and even had some fun on Twitter replying to comments. In fact, when comedian Patton Oswalt tweeted, "Well, JC Penney, get ready to sell a load of S *** this teakettles a lot of ironic hipsters," the retailer quickly responded with, "Totally unintentional. But they'll need to grab it at the store since it's sold out online. #SadHipsters. "Of course, sales skyrocketed after the photos went viral. The teapot is $ 40 now back-ordered on JCPenney's site until late June, and some of teapots even started listing on eBay for $ 200. Unfortunately, I must admit that now I kind of want one My house as a conversation piece. "So what do you think of my Hitler inorbit mall vashi teapot?" "I think you need to put on pants." Not surprisingly, the sales boom started when it all became one big social inorbit mall vashi media circus. Which is why you sort of have to applaud seemingly levelheaded responses by JCPenney, which never equaled the drama of culture hysteria Cooper's outrage. Even the Anti-Defamation League took it in stride, commenting Mother Jones that "JCPenney was doing the right thing by responding to public concerns and removing the skin from their product line. We take JCPenney in words that any resemblance to Nazi dictator was completely unintended. inorbit mall vashi "
