(It&#8217;s not even really Hitler. It&#8217;s actor Bruno Ganz having an epic meltdown that&#8217;s been co-opted zillions of times now.) But using a photo of the real Hitler as a sales tool? For shame. New Form, a fashion boutique in Sicily, has papered the city with 18-foot-high posters of Hitler in a pink uniform\u2014<a href=\"http:\/\/adweek.blogs.com\/adfreak\/pink-hitler.html\" >with a heart on his sleeve instead of a swastika<\/a>\u2014under the tagline, &quot;Change style. Don&#8217;t follow your leader.&quot; Even if it made sense, it would still be offensive. Local politicians and the citizenry are outraged, naturally. The ad agency, according to HuffPo, says the campaign <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2010\/05\/21\/hitler-fashion-ad-causes_n_584911.html\" >doesn&#8217;t cozy up to the infamous Nazi<\/a> but instead makes fun of him. And hopefully makes a buck off him, to boot. It&#8217;s just all so distasteful and wrong. And maybe the start of a trend? HuffPo says Chinese communist leader Mao Tse Tung is New Form&#8217;s next poster boy. Let&#8217;s hope that&#8217;s a (horrible) joke.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Posted by T.L.
