I thought this was funny.

I don't know how many of y'all have seen it already.

Very funny.

I love it...don't know whether to laugh my ass off or be scandalized, so I'll choose "laugh my ass off." I love the one of the kitty pawing at a toy - he looks like he's doing the "sieg heil!"

Since I'm a pretty hard-to-offend person, I must admit that I actually found that site pretty amusing! I think the funniest thing is that HUNDREDS of people have not only seen it and thought "You know, my cat DOES look like Hitler!", but actually submitted photos.

Further proof that you can find ANYTHING on the internet.

Fantastic.

Majik's right... Dunno what's stranger - the fact that someone made the site, or the fact that so many people have posted on it.

I don't think they're trying to promote Naziism. The humor requires you accept that Adolf was a monster ... or else it's not funny at all. If anything they're ridiculing the infamous fascist dictator.

The only thing that (sort of) offends me is that they're selling T-Shirts. That, arguably, crosses a line ...

On the other hand they do explicitly promote the BC SPCA on their website and use the space to show cats for adoption.

Why do you say that? Just curious about what (sort of) offends you about that.

I say "sort of" only because it gives me a slightly queasy notion, that's all. Maybe it's because:
a) The joke isn't as obvious if you're looking at a cartoon on a T-Shirt. When you see the website it's understandable because you see all the cat photos. A T-Shirt is just a cartoon Hitler image.
b) And someone is making money off of the idea. Which, by itself, isn't a "crime" but detracts from the simple unassuming premise of the website.


... doesn't ruin the whole thing for me but it's just something that makes me a little uneasy ...

okay... that is absolutely hilarious

Ace_O_Spades

That's what I thought first as well... but it's not exactly the def'n of a Godwin...

Since the OP was ABOUT Nazis... pretty hard to godwin.

Hm. Point taken.

Pretty fascist of you to correct me, though. Just because I happened to be incorrect. You're worse than Hitler.

(There, NOW it's Godwinned.)

Ok...assuming there was no photoshop magic going on here...that's not almost frightening. That's freakin' creepy.
