In another wonderful case of  “I don’t know why the F this exists” a billboard of Hitler saluting with the words “Hitler is not dead” was forced to be covered in Thailand.  The billboard, which features the phrase in Thai, was in a series of advertisements for a new wax figure museum that was opening soon.  After numerous complaints the owners covered up the billboard and apologies were soon handed out by the truckloads.  I mean, if you are going to use Hitler as an advertisement, shouldn’t it be for a health care company?

What I find funny about all of this is: Imagine driving down the street. You read billboard after billboard.  “Hey, maybe I should eat there, or maybe I should see that movie” and then… BAM! HITLER.

The sick part of me wonders who sees it and thinks nothing of it. I mean it is Thailand. The driver is probably too busy thinking about what little boy they are about to purchase or what type of dog they want to eat for dinner.  Who the hell approved this?  Every major decision like this is usually done by a group. How did a group of people think putting Hitler on a billboard was a good idea?  I know, I know. You’re going to say that any publicity is good publicity, but at the same time- IT’S HITLER!!!!  I don’t think anyone wants to be noticed because they have any association with Hitler, which is the primary reason you have never met a single person named Adolf. Except those blatantly racist parents in New Jersey that made the news because of it and had their children taken away from them.

Finally, why the hell do wax museums exist in the first place?  Can you think of a dumber idea than lifelike alive/dead people?  In Manhattan, I sometimes find myself walking by Madam Tussauds and there is usually a fake Samuel L. Jackson standing on the street with some dumbass tourists taking a picture with him.  I have never been impressed with this crap.  They charge you an arm and a leg to look at fake people.

If I wanted to look at fake people and drop money on it, I think I would rather go to a strip club.
