Instead of taking a fluffy knitted Hitler to work, why not turn up with this little beauty?

Much respect, Sara!

Love it... Nice to know there are still people willing to either say "bollox" to political correctness, or are so detached from reality they don't even realise such things might cause offence!
I so wish they are the former, but fear they are the latter!

Or does Hitler have a rather narrow waist, flared hips and a shirt top which bulges unexpectedly?
Who do you think you are kidding Mrs Hitler?
The brown one please.

And if you give her the wool she'll make you one too.

But wear is the IT angle? It must've had you in stitches at Reg central I'm sure, but I think these cast-off Sun yarns are purly rubbish.

Of wool, obviously.
Mein's the one with the nice crocheted pattern.

>A spokesman for the Jewish Network is quoted in The Sun
Did The Sun get a comment from a spokesperson for the Roma population? Lest we forget, and there are those that would want you to, proportionately the Gypsies suffered far worse than any other people under the hands of Hitler. It makes sense that if anybody should have been asked an opinion it should have been a Gypsy.

Squint a bit and it looks a little like Mocks Moseley.... wonder how hard it is to clean?
(Oh, and @"Is it just me" AC - you're in need of a (brown) SHIRT icon. The BrownCOATS were the losing side in the war between the Independants and the Central Alliance in Joss Whedon's "Firefly", methinks...)

HMG start a nice long holiday just as the country hits the worst economic mishap since the last time, and this is the best the Stun can do?
Nice to see our national media is doing its very best to keep the country well-informed of the [i]really[/i] important things in life...
I believe there's a couple of characters missing from the front of the icon I feel gives a good idea of the importance of such "issues" in the great scheme of things ... no wait, there they are....

You could start up a sock puppet show featuring everyone's favourite despots - with Hiiiilarious (and of course educational) consequences! Something like that is just the wake up call blighty needs to clear her good old streets of all these scrounging imiggint polish workshy hippie dope fiend rapist bagel-loving grannie-stabbing skinhead squatter gangs. I remember when this was all fields why oh why won't somebody please think of the children.

I saw listed a goodly collection of dictators, sociopaths, and warmongers listed but no GWB!!
This is a travesty. Give George W the recognition he deserves!

Sarah / Moderatrix,
if one was short of wool, would it be acceptable to pimp one's Hitler and tell people that it's actually Herr Himler?
I understand that this might save one ball.
Posted Tuesday 22nd July 2008 18:05 GMT
If you're going to use that logic, why didn't they get a spokesperson from SCOPE or any disabled organisation, cos I think you'll find Hitler practiced his techniques on the mentally and physically disabled first.
Perhaps you'd like to join the MCB in boycotting Holocaust Memorial Day, in case it's not sufficiently inclusive!
Tw@t.

in the interests of balance have a knitted woolen Churchill too.

Cuddly Hitlers? Leaves a nazi taste in your mouth
Posted Tuesday 22nd July 2008 18:05 GMT
From what I have read, Jenghiz Khan was relatively normal for his time and place in history. Hitler was way over the line in his butchery of multiple peoples in multiple countries and in no way compares. Saddam was only interested in suppressing the relgious and ethnic in Iraq..never mind his foray into Kuwait; he never had the means to do what Hitler did.

Because using that logic Gypsies still come out as the most persecuted group whether you like it or not. I don't see what boycotting anything has to do with this historical fact unless you are one of the revisionists who want to rewrite history.

But how can one tell it's not actually just a knitted lady (those curves give it away) dressed as Charlie Chaplin's character in that movie? Therefore, no PC-violation. You're welcome.

The shop is round the corner from my house. It's near a Buddhist temple & a (very nice) organic, vegetarian female run cafe. I wonder if they've had a spat and decided to annoy the neighbours.
Alternatively there are some groups around Bethnal Green that would be quite happy with something like this.

Cuddly Adipose toys -- official BBC-branded ones, not knitted knock-offs -- will be this years best-selling Christmas gift. Well, that's what it says on a betting slip with my name on it, anyway.

I've been tonking away at Little Red Riding Hood all morning and I can't for the life in me figure out how you worked that out.
Posted Wednesday 23rd July 2008 15:20 GMT
Sir,
that sounds like a crude activity, made worse that the tonked party is a young fictional girl.
Irrespective of any clothing that she might have worn, I doubt that a judge will allow you to use that in mitigation and suspect that you will be handed a long and deserved sentence.
This could be time to claim criminal insanity or raid the Monopoly (TM) box for a "get out of jail free" card.
