Tea Time for Hitler & JcPenney?

Kettle that looks like Hitler brews trouble for JCPenney
Trouble is brewing for an American retailer after customers noted that one of its tea kettles bears a striking resemblance to Adolf Hitler.
2:36PM BST 28 May 2013
Bemused motorists took photographs of the huge JCPenney billboard advertising the kettle as they drove past it on the 405 Interstate highway near Culver City in California, one of America’s busiest stretches of roads.
“That Hitler looks like a kettle,” commented one user of Reddit, one of the several websites where the image was posted over the weekend.
“He even has his right arm extended,” wrote another, while a third added: “I’m a little Nazi, short and stout”.
Things that look Hitler have become a popular web meme – with the genre perhaps defined by the house in Swansea that bears an unsettling resemblance to the Nazi Fuhrer.
The kettle – officially the Michael Graves Design Bells and Whistles Stainless Steel Tea Kettle – retails for £35.08 on the JCPenney website, and can be delivered to the UK.
