FUHRER-THEMED ICE CREAM CAUSES FUROR
A few months ago some coffee creamers featuring Adolf Hitler’s likeness sparked rage in Switzerland. Now comes word that a Hitler-themed ice-cream confection available throughout India is sparking rage in Germany.
According to the Daily Mail:
Even for the most dedicated of ice cream lovers this sweet treat may prove a little hard to swallow….It’s difficult to fathom what the Nazi leader may have in common with the crunchy snack….Meanwhile the cold eyes of the killer stare out at ice cream customers from the side of the packaging…his furious eyes are completely at odds with the traditional party food…But all the boxes of cones have the notorious moustache on display….A lack of Holocaust education in India means that people on the sub-continent know little about the Nazi leader, and consequently Hitler-themed pubs and restaurants are not viewed with outrage.
Shame on the Daily Mail for failing to realize that Indians may have far more historical reasons to despise England than Germany. Don”t expect to see a Winston Churchill ice-cream cone in India anytime soon, despite the fact that Churchill didn”t have a “notorious moustache.”
FASHION INDUSTRY: FAT-SHAMING WRONG, WHITE-SHAMING OK
One of the more egregiously microagressive non-stories to emerge recently is a social-media kerfuffle over some drawings spotted on the office walls of fashion house Lilly Pulitzer. The offending cartoons depict two overweight women. The caption to one of these “mean-spirited doodles” is “Put it down, carb-face!” The other one reads, “Just another day of fat, white and hideous…you should probably just kill yourself.”
The ensuing outrage over the cartoons revolved exclusively around the idea of “fat-shaming.” Not a peep was made over the fact that the cartoon’s subject was also encouraged to kill herself for being white.
SNOOP DOGG VOWS NEVER TO CALL WOMEN “BITCHES” AND “HOES” AGAIN
Rap superstar Snoop Dogg made misogyny popular in the 1990s with time-honored classics such as “Bitches Ain”t Shit” and “A Bitch I Knew.” He recently claimed he has matured as both a human being and an artist and will thus no longer refer to the female species as bitches and hoes. He will instead spend his time making fun of white males.
GAY CONVERSION THERAPY ON TRIAL
The Southern Poverty Law Center has a fraudulent-practices lawsuit against a New Jersey organization called Jews Offering New Alternatives for Healing (JONAH). The group offers gay conversion therapy.
According to New Jersey Today:
The lawsuit describes sessions that involved clients undressing in front of a mirror and even a group session where young men were instructed to remove their clothing and stand naked in a circle with the counselor, Downing, who was also undressed. Another session involved a subject attempting to wrestle away two oranges “ used to represent testicles “ from another individual….These techniques encouraged clients to blame their parents for being gay, going so far as to have clients participate in violent role play exercises where they beat effigies of their mothers.
That indeed sounds fraudulent. Hilarious, too. All that’s left now is for the SPLC to be sued out of business for decades of fraudulent practices.
