They still don't get it about Hitler

The Thai Visa Forum recently published a report on Bangkok's "Hitler chic" in the form of T-shirts of a Ronald McDonald figure recreated as a cartoonish "McHitler" dummy.

 

Since the visit of the Israeli ambassador to the little shop in Terminal 21 (doesn’t he have anything better to do?) the shop has been “de-hitlerised”. 
In order to regain some of the lost popularity and regain political correctness, Mr Hut, the pleasant young artist shop owner could perhaps try to appease the ambassador by designing T-shirts with cartoons of Mr Netanyahu. Mind you, considering what that man does to the Palestinians, they wouldn’t be any funnier than the Hitler cartoons.
There is, of course, no such thing as bad publicity in the field of advertising, and Mr Hut will probably benefit from his sudden notoriety. I noticed that he is selling some very nice harmless designs, so I for one may soon add to his turnover.
