Hitler on a label

So what you are saying is controversial topics and controversial subjects should not be discussed?

This is exactly the type of thing that should be discussed and brought into the open.

If the view is this is freedom of speech, surely others must realize this notion will be openly challenged, just like any controversial freedom of speech issue.

Nothing against the freedom of speech, nothing against discussions, we’re not in China or in the Iranic Republic........ But, don’t forget, it is just a stupid beer-bottle!

hmm, speaking of war mongering germans, what about the nutter on this beer?! - and that’s not even a charicature, but actually seems to celebrate him in some way.

Pretty much the same thing as a beer depicting George V, if such a thing exists.

Its a cartoon Hitler. Just laugh about it. We should be able to laugh about these things, 70 years later. Hitler makes for good comedy.

below is my opinion. You are entitled to have your own too.

I found the label fun, entertaining. provocative, artsy..

Next thing we won’t be able to print monks on beers because christians historically have slaugthered left and right in the name of god..

calm down.. enjoy that we have free speech, and are free people. sometimes the best way to reflect on real bad stuff is to have some humor and satire in the mix.

Anyone want to boycot a brewery because they have provocative labels - go ahead, it’s your right to do so. we should all respect that.

My personal opinion is that ppl are too fucking uptight and rigtheous. Americans in particular. Strong religeous people a close second.

I’d rate a sadam hussein beer any day, except if $1 per sold beer was donated to al-quaida.

Btw. beer here dark hops rocks, and i recommend it highly. it’s not world class, but definetly above most of the european competition. i am quite certian it is distributed or going to be distributed to the states, as the label had some usa looking mumblejumble on it. i could be wrong, i was not sober when i had it, memory can sort of crash in those circumstances.

cheers!

Let’s say your mother (or sister or whatever family member makes this argument more effective for me) was kidnapped, beaten, raped and murdered, her naked body dumped on the side of the road. Then let’s say that someone named Bill Smith was arrested and tried and convicted of those crimes. The next year a company makes something, let’s say it was potato chips. This company decides to call them Bill Smith Potato Chips. With a picture of the person who did this to your family featured on the bag. What the company is doing isn’t illegal, but I would bet you a shiny nickel, that unless you are a hopeless sociopath, that you would take umbrage with this company’s decision.

I’ll qualify the above post by saying that although I am an American I am both a Libertarian and an Atheist and I have enough common sense to understand that free speech is a wonderful thing; a wonderful thing that comes with responsibility.
