Kim Jong-Un gives Hitlers Mein Kampf as a Present
Kim Jong-Un spielt nicht nur gerne mit Atomwaffen, sondern verteilt seit neuestem auch Hitlers Mein Kampf als Geschenke für altgediente Staatsbedienstete und Militärs. Und die Meldung steht auch nicht in irgendeinem Käseblatt, sondern der Washington Post und kommt noch dazu von einer Nachrichtenagentur aus Nordkorea selbst, dürfte also stimmen. Man sollte vielleicht noch anmerken, dass es anscheinend nicht darum geht, Nazis zu glorifizieren, sondern den wirtschaftlichen Aufschwung Deutschlands nach dem ersten Weltkrieg zum Vorbild für Nordkorea zu machen. Entschuldigt natürlich gar nichts, daher: Seriosly, WTF, Kim?
DPRK officials ranked departmental director and above in the National Defence Committee were presented with the autobiography of Adolf Hitler in the form of a “hundred-copy book”. (This refers to a limited edition of translated books which are officially banned but have been published in secret for the consumption of members of the North Korean elite.) […]
“Kim Jong-un gave a lecture to high-ranking officials, stressing that we must pursue the policy of Byungjin (Korean for ‘in tandem’) in terms of nuclear and economic development. Mentioning that Hitler managed to rebuild Germany in a short time following its defeat in WWI, Kim Jong-un issued an order for the Third Reich to be studied in depth and asked that practical applications be drawn from it,” the source told us in a telephone interview.

Hitlers Toilet
Sehr passend zum grandios am aktuellen Zeitgeist vorbei getitelten Spiegel diese Woche: Hitlers Klo.
According to Kohfeldt, the toilet came off of Hitler’s biggest private yacht, the Aviso Grille, which was between 400 and 500 feet long, and at the time one of the biggest private boats in existence. “He wanted to ride it down the Thames in London and go live in Windsor Palace when he invaded,” Kohfeldt told me on a subzero morning last week as he pulled a sink—also from the ship, and now in pieces—out of a box and laid them out for me to examine each of the maker’s stamps and faucets. Another resident of Florence, Dick Glass—an expert on Hitler’s yacht—told me that the ship was armed, had a crew of 245 men, a private room for Eva Braun, and was bigger than J.P. Morgan’s ship Corsair. The Aviso Grille also played a significant role in one particular moment in history: Hitler’s Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz stood on the deck of the ship on May 1, 1945, and gave the first word of the Führer’s death and took command of Germany.
After the war ended, the Aviso Grille was taken to the United States and ended up in the hands of New Jersey shipyard owner Harry Doan, who illegally charged visitors 25 cents to board and tour Hitler’s Yacht. However, according to Glass, both Doan and the federal government wanted to prevent the ship from becoming a memorial to Hitler, and so it was scrapped in Doan’s salvage yard in the early 1950s.
At that point, Sam Carlani needed a new toilet. Doan, his close friend and poker buddy, told him he had one available.

Danger 5, new Webseries by Italian Spiderman-Makers
(Youtube Direktdanger, via Dangerous Minds)
Hell Yeah! Neues von den Machern von Italien Spiderman, Dario Russo und David Ashby! Danger 5 wird eine neue, sechsteilige Serie für’s australische Fernsehen, Russo beschreibt sie als „an eclectic visual blend of 1960s Italian inspired cinematography merged with Japanese, Godzilla-esque miniature and pyrotechnic effects, all stitched together with the dry, bold sensibilities of the Sean Connery era Bond films“ und ich gehe schwer davon aus, dass die Episoden auch online landen werden. Leider haben die kein Blog, dafür habe ich mir aber grade den YT-Feed in den Reader geworfen, ich sag’ Bescheid, sobald sich ‘was tut. Bis dahin kann man sich ja schonmal das schicke Retromagazin zur Serie anschauen.
Set in a bizarre, 1960′s inspired version of World War II, action comedy series Danger 5 follows the journey of five secret agents charged with the task of eliminating of Hitler.
Danger 5 is the finest group of special operatives the allies have to offer: Jackson from the USA, Tucker from Australia, Ilsa from Russia, Claire from Britain and Pierre from Europe.
Each episode of Danger 5 unravels another of Hitler’s diabolic schemes and travels across a myriad of exotic locations spanning the globe. The action and offbeat humour never relents as Danger 5 mounts a series of thrilling missions which include discovering Josef Mengele’s perverted Antarctic death circus, busting down Erwin Rommel’s golden murder casino and posing as exotic dancers in an attempt to take out Hitler at his own birthday party.
A Bollywood Romcom named „Hitler in Love“
What the? Auf Youtube findet man noch ein paar Videos dazu, dort sieht das aber eher nach irgendwas mit Musik aus, denn als Film. Wie auch immer, die Fragezeichen über meinem Kopf sind groß und pink und riechen nach Gummibärchen oder wie ich grade twitterte: I can hardly process this thing. Ich meine, ey: „Hitler loves car racing“. I break together. Hier der Plot:
Hero Hitler in Love revolves around Hitler (Babbu Maan) who lives in his village Ishqpura. Hitler is a man with unique and different thoughts who loves his fellow villagers and helps them unite with their soul mates. Hitler falls in love with Sahiban (Mouni Roy) who lives in Pakistan and decides to bring her to his village. Hitler believes in solving the problems by talking about them but when something crosses the line he decides to become real Adolf Hitler. Hitler loves car racing but when he is set up to fail in the Asian car racing competition he decides to take revenge. The story shapes how Hitles takes his revenge and fights to win his girl and reunite both nations.

Pink Mustaches for Girls and the english Spies, who wanted to make Hitler a Woman
Toll! Pinke Schnurrbärte für Mädchen! (via Daniel) Dabei fällt mir die Story ein, die ich heute morgen beim Telegraph gelesen hatte: Spione wollten Hitler Estrogene ins Essen geben, um ihn weiblicher zu machen. Und das steht nicht in der Weekly World News sondern im konservativen britschen Blatt Telegraph.
Now it has come to light that British spies looked at an even more audacious way of derailing the man behind the German war machine – by giving him female sex hormones. Agents planned to smuggle doses of oestrogen into his food to make him less aggressive and more like his docile younger sister Paula, who worked as a secretary. Spies working for the British were close enough to Hitler to have access to his food, said Professor Brian Ford, who discovered the plot.
Vintage Voodoo-Party vs. Hitler
Im Januar 1941 haben sich ein paar Irre in einer einsamen Hütte in den Wäldern von Maryland zu einer Party getroffen, auf der sie Hitler umbringen wollten. Mit Voodoo. Im Bild links sticht eine Dame namens Ruth Davis einer Hitler-Puppe die Augen aus: „Nails in eyes induce insomnia,“ LIFE reported. „As she jabs, Ruth Davis croons: ‘Burn Hitler’s eyes! Keep them open night and day! Kill his rest!’“
“On the wet windy evening of January 22, a youthful band of idealists went to a lonely cabin in the Maryland woods.” Thus begins one of the odder stories LIFE magazine ever published — a straightforward, tongue-nowhere-near-cheek account of a 1941 “hex party” convened with one aim in mind: “to kill Adolf Hitler by voodoo incantation.” According to LIFE, the party featured “a dressmaker’s dummy, a Nazi uniform, nails, axes, tom-toms and plenty of Jamaica rum,” and was inspired by a book by occultist and writer William Seabrook that was popular at the time: Witchcraft: Its Power in the World Today.
Pink Hitler Ad
Ein Modelabel auf Sizilien wirbt mit diesem Motiv von einem pinken, geschminkten Hitler und italienische Partisanen-Vets gehen auf die Barrikaden. Ich bin unschlüssig. Einerseits kann ich die Vorwürfe der Verharmlosung einigermaßen nachvollziehen, andererseits denke ich, dass dieses Motiv jeder kackbraunen Mistmade zu einhundertzehn Prozent gegen den Strich läuft, was ja erstmal gut ist. Letztenendes ist das ein Motiv, das genau so auch auf dem Cover der Titanic erscheinen könnte, aber wiederum andererseits weiß ich nicht, ob man mit einer Figur wie Hitler werben sollte. Schwierig.
The advertising campaign has riled up leftist and partisan circles in Italy, and sparked protest among residents of Palermo.
“We do not understand how the civil authorities allowed the store to display these types of billboards and we demand their immediate removal,” wrote the partisan organization of Sicily to Mayor Diego Cammarata.
“This is an insult to the principles of our constitution and to the feelings of our citizens,” said a member of the opposition in the city council. Some citizens appealed directly to the Italian President Giorgio Napolitano to request his help with the removal of the advertisements.

Hitler kriegt auch schon mit, dass Disney Marvel gekauft hat und er ist leich angepisst. Und ja, ich finde die Downfall-Meme immer noch witzig.

Der Untergang-Remix mit Copyright-Botschaft
(Youtube Direktcopyright, via BoingBoing)
Wunderbar: Ein weiterer Remix dieser einen Szene aus „Der Untergang“ mit Copyright- und Fair-Use-Thema. Hitler als Copyright-Verfechter, völlig brillant und fantastisch. Kommt von EFFs Brad Templeton, auf seiner Website mehr Infos, zum Beispiel über die Odyssee, das Video in legalem Rahmen zu produzieren, also gemäß der amerikanischen Fair Use-Regelung. Die Tags „Hitler“ und „Copyright“, endlich vereint. Snip:
Unless you’ve been under a rock, you have probably seen a parody clip that puts new subtitles on a scene of Hitler ranting and raving from the 2004 German movie Downfall (Der Untergang). Some of these videos have gathered millions of views, with Hitler complaining about how he’s been banned from X-box live, or nobody wants to go to Burning Man, or his new camera sucks. The phenomenon even rated a New York Times article.
It eventually spawned meta-parodies, where Hitler would rant about how many Hitler videos were out on the internet, or how they sucked. I’ve seen at least 4 of these. Remarkably, one of them, called Hitler is a Meme was pulled from YouTube by the studio, presumably using a DMCA takedown. A few others have also been puled, though many remain intact. (More on that later.)
Of course, I had to do my own.
Hitler is the new Star Wars Kid
Die Schlußszene aus „Der Untergang“ entwickelt sich grade zur Internet-Meme. Eine Übersicht der Videos gibt’s bei Boing Boing, diese Version hier ist aber der absolute Knaller. „You are the new Star Wars Kid“. Grandios! Video nach dem Klick.
Gib mir den Rest, Baby…

Schäuble verhöhnt Kritiker mit Hitlervergleich
Die Nazikeule, ich weiß. Aber…
Innenminister Schäuble provozierte mal wieder, diesmal mit einem Hitler-Vergleich. “Wir hatten den ‘größten Feldherrn aller Zeiten’, den GröFaZ, und jetzt kommt die größte Verfassungsbeschwerde aller Zeiten”, assoziierte er am Mittwochabend vor Journalisten und Richtern in Karlsruhe. Der geschmacklose Vergleich galt einer Sammel-Verfassungsbeschwerde, die der AK Vorratsdatenspeicherung, ein Zusammenschluss von Bürgerrechtsgruppen, initiiert hat. (TAZ)
Nuff said.
