A J.C Penney Kettle Looks Like Adolf Hitler

A kettle that looks like Adolf Hitler is brewing up a storm on auction website eBay after selling out in stores.

Internet users initially pointed out the similarity between Adolf Hitler and the J.C Penney kettle after pictures were posted of a billboard sign advertising the stainless steel teapot.

The Michael Graves-designed kettle quickly became an unlikely hit in stores and yesterday it appeared to have sold out.

The kettles normally retail for around $40 but have subsequently turned up on eBay selling for a red hot $199, while others had reached bids of $185 and $180.

In a bid to avoid further embarrassment J.C Penney has removed the billboard that drew the original interest in the product.

Earlier this week the company made clear that any resemblance to the dead Nazi dictator was completely unintentional repeatedly tweeting the clarification at those curious about a Hitler connection.

"If we had designed it to look like something, we would have gone with a snowman or something fun," the store tweeted at followers.

Re: A J.C Penney Kettle Looks Like Adolf Hitler

Speaking of Hitler products...Has anybody else seen 'hit' brand cookies? A college friend and I used to put sharpies in our pockets and re-label them 'Hitler' cookies while no one was looking, when we went shopping.
We were retards

Re: A J.C Penney Kettle Looks Like Adolf Hitler

that tea pot is hilarious! someone said it was a gas to use it to make tea in when you are playing the game of concentration or if you camp out. I told them their humor stunk and to go take a shower. they said "ok" and I never saw them again.

The funny thing is that there actually is a pastry/cookie here called Isler. I dont know if you are familiar with it, its two pieces of chocolate covered cookies with strawberry or peach jam in between:

Since Hit can be considered as a different type of isler its completely justified to relabel it as HIT-ler

Sorry, Im done.
