Nazi Gingerbread Men

Today is the beginning of Hanukkah, so can't let this one pass just in case you missed it...

Just when you think you’ve heard it all—FOX News reports: “An artist who was forced to remove his Nazi gingerbread men from the window of a hardware store has set up the display in an empty storefront in another town. “The Secret Lives of Gingerbread Men” depicts a small gathering at a Nazi rally. Keith McGuckin set up the display in this northeastern Ohio city Thursday night, a day before the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah begins at sundown…

This would be the same as having a display of abortionists doing their thing on Christmas Eve. How sick is this?

Last year McGuckin used the same store window to display a “caroler-bashing” snowman.

While we may be disgusted at such news, where are the PC police? Where are the anti- discrimination folks? Shamefully silent on this eve of Hanukkah. Read more

How sick is this?

Extremely, over-the-top sick.  I'd posit an involuntary stay in a mental institution variety of sick.

And disgusting. 

I hope this person gets some help....here in Florida we have this thing called the "Baker Act"....whereby you can have someone committed if they're in danger of harming themselves or others.  This dude is obviously trying to hurt himself...by inviting someone to burn his store down.

How very sad.

Artistic license

In the interests of artistic license, I think it is pretty funny, although tasteless. I would love to hear the artist defend it before I came to a final judgment. I am with him on the caroleer smashing snowman.

And now, for something truly disgusting (parents, make sure your kids are away from the screen, and kids, make sure your parents are away from the screen...)

Should we counter with a display of very THIN gingerbread men heading towards, what else? an oven?

Please make sure your train of thought carries freight.

And, to complete the boorish

And, to complete the boorish tastelessness, the thin gingerbread men should all have Stars of David on them.  After all, only Jews and conservative Christians would be offended, and what would they do about it?  It's not like they would behead the "artist".  Now, if the "artist" depicted gingerbread jockeys racing gingerbread camels, he might have something to worry about.

Or, maybe we can make gingerb

Or, maybe we can make gingerbread men with divinity-styled turbans? Heck, I bet any 'artist' that did that wouldn't even make the islamonuts bring their own butcher knives!!!
