This is why newspapers are dying.
The UK's Daily Mail reports that Hitler's autobiography Mein Kampf is selling like, pardon the expression, hot cakes in India.
Booksellers told The Daily Telegraph that while it is regarded in most countries as a 'Nazi Bible', in India it is considered a management guide in the mould of Spencer Johnson's "Who Moved My Cheese".
Sales of the book over the last six months topped 10,000 in New Delhi alone, according to leading stores, who said it appeared to be becoming more popular with every year.
Really?
Hitler's auto-biography is treated as a "management guide"?
Well, that does explain a lot about my last manager. Although I wonder when he had time to read the book. between sucking up to senior management and apologizing to his two-timing girlfriend, he barely had time to even take a bath. I had to gift him an year's supply of industrial strength deodorant to get the message across. Sadly, it didn't work. It was the first time in my life I was glad to have allergies.
"They see it as a kind of success story where one man can have a vision, work out a plan on how to implement it and then successfully complete it"
Why? Because Hitler was so successful, innit?
Who in their right mind would actually admire Hitler?
Right. Ahem. Still, delusional leaders aside, I think Poland has nothing to worry about yet. We don't invade foreign countries.
Except that one time. Tee Hee.
However, more than Poland, the people who are actually petrified of a Jai Ho Hitler revolution are the poor, docile readers of the Huffington Post.
In the comment section of the particular post (or as the Huffington Post calls each individual post, 'a blog') which references the daily mail article, the commentators do what a lot of Americans are really good at. Talking about stuff they have no real knowledge about. Although, to be fair, who can blame them, really? Already out of jobs and with everything good on TV either cancelled or about to go for a seasonal break, they need to pass their time somehow.
Besides, haven't you heard? Dick Cheney's debuting his new show "You'll never be safe without me, motherf*ckers". Here's the pilot episode.
At least this issue has united America. Finally, the right wing and the left wing nutjobs finally agree on something.
Lastly, I'd have to admit that these nutjons are correct. Sort of.
Adolf does live.
Huh? Yes, it's true. Adolf lives.
Do you want to know where?
Well, the only place where he can. The good Ol' U.S. of A.
Now, the real question is, should we be afraid?
