It’s beginning to look alot like…..HITLER?

Miniature wooden Santa figures were removed from Rossmann stores, a German retail chain, after customers claimed they looked like they were giving the outlawed Hitler salute.

“We were astonished by the reaction,” Josef Lange, a spokesman for Rossmann said. “It looks like he’s just pointing up to the sky and we were surprised that anyone saw the so-called ‘Hitler salute’ in that. But we responded and had the entire inventory removed and destroyed.”

As you might’ve noticed from the picture, the only thing better than one offensive Santa is an army of them. Although they were all destroyed (I assume in an ironic petrol fire), I don’t think we’ve seen the last of this doll. Afterall, what better mascot to represent the consumerism of the holiday season than Nazi Santa? Now, if we could only get them to be made in China, for 2 cents a toy, rather than Germany.

Drunk Driving Christmas Parade Float

COLUMBIA, S.C.- Authorities say a man driving a float in the Anderson Christmas parade has been charged with drunk driving after he passed another float then sped down Main Street.

When officers caught up to 42-year-old David Allen Rodgers, he had an open container of alcohol in the truck he used to haul the children and adults on the float for a dance studio.

Witnesses say Rodgers was driving in line in Sunday’s parade when he pulled out to pass a tractor in the float.

Police say Rodgers sped down Main Street and ran a red light, while a witness on the float called 911 on a cell phone.

Rodgers, whose child was on the float, faces more than three dozen charges, including DUI, kidnapping and assaulting an officer. He will have a bond hearing on the kidnapping charge later this week.
