On my way to work each morning I pass a billboard advertising this kettle. I couldn’t figure  
out what the image was until about the third time I drove by it. I then saw that it was a tea kettle  
bit it never looked like A. Hitler to me until I saw an article about the billboard. The billboard  
was recently removed: [http://www.news10.net/news/national/246835/5/Is-this-the-most-controversial-teapot-in-history](http://www.news10.net/news/national/246835/5/Is-this-the-most-controversial-teapot-in-history)

So does this mean Hitler was a tea-bagger?

Or was he the Tea Nazi? (“No tea for you!”)
