'Pink Hitler’ ad angers anti-fascist fighters
By Joshua Freedman
algemeiner.com

A fashion advertisement on the Italian island of Sicily picturing Adolf Hitler dressed in pink with a heart on his armband has drawn criticism from former anti-fascist fighters who claim the controversial billboard is an offense against those who fought Nazism.

Former Italian resistance members have written to the mayor of Palermo, the island’s capital, expressing their anger at the prominent poster and say it “violates our democratic and constitutional principles.” Ottavio Terranova of the Italian partisans’ association demanded the immediate withdrawal of the advertisement.

The advertisers said the posters, with the caption "Change Your Style. Don't Follow Your Leader,” intended to ridicule Hitler and not to diminish the seriousness of his actions. Similar posters depicting Chairman Mao are planned.

Sounds to me that they got hold of the photochop and built a campaign around it - lazy, hack, bastard ad people. The irony of them telling people what to do shouldn't be lost of course...

I shouldn't think the Hitler fans love it either.
