Nicely executed, but I didn’t really find it that amusing, and I generally like dark humor. Maybe it’s because I knew what was coming? I don’t know. Spoilers usually don’t bug me. It just didn’t even make me crack a smile. ---

You did see my original post where I said I wasn’t sure what to think about it right? Anyway I did say I’m not doing arguments on the internet anymore and you’re ignoring my posts anyway, so everyones a winner. ---

Feathers ruffled? You could say they are Fuhrer-ious about it! ---

> [@Slithy\_Tove](#): > > OK, for the sake of argument: what if the driver, instead of hitting juvenile Hitler with the car, lures him into it with pastries (for which the dictator had a notorious weakness), then, depicted in sickening graphic detail, sexually assaults and murders him (with his face flashing into the adult Hitler, as in the OP’s ad as well as the [AIDS awareness ad](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTb0m-TlsBU) ( **NSFW** ) from a few years ago)? That would be wrong, but rape is not the same as killing. Killing someone can be justified as a last ditch effort to render someone known for doing evil physically incapable of doing evil. Rape or torture - especially if you’re planning on killing them afterwards - cannot. ---
