Seriously It Does Not Look Like Hitler

Please tell me how, oh how, did someone even think this t-kettle looks like Hitler?  A tea kettle that bears a potential resemblance to Adolf Hitler has landed J.C. Penney in hot water.  A California billboard advertising a Michael Graves-designed kettle for sale at the store has some wondering whether they are being saluted by the Nazi dictator instead of waiting for tea to heat up.  Really, do people not have better things to do with their time? 

On Tuesday the company made it clear that any resemblance is 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 numerous followers.

And to think I was sitting here trying to decide what I was going to post on the blog...and then read this on NBC News website.  It made me laugh and so I had to share.  Have a good day.  Mine is done in about an hour.
