Hitler
Adolf Hitler's nephew William Patrick Hitler fought against the Axis during World War II as a US seaman. After the war, he disappeared to Long Island, New York with his wife.
I was to discover that the Hitler bloodline was carried on through William Patrick's four sons - one of whom died in a road accident in 1989 - and that the brothers had decided in a remarkable pact not to have children themselves in order that Adolf Hitler's genes would die with them.
Fascinating stuff. Read more here.
By way of satire this video is pretty hysterical. I have the feeling that it isn't too far off the mark of what the current "strategizing" meetings in the Hillary camp is like at the moment. I really can see her screaming at Carville, Wolfson, McAuliffe, and Bill:
I will fuck you all in half! The superdelegates were supposed to trump the fucking voters! ...My supporters are the dumbest fucks in the country! Still bitching about NAFTA!
And one bead of sweat rolls down Carville's shiny bald head while Hillary lights into them spewing, "What other working-class photo-ops do they expect me to do? Take a shit in a fucking outhouse?!" Hahaha.
Remember people: This is political satire. Of course Hillary is not Hitler.

A German ad agency was asked to create an ad for a family run hat shop in Bonn. This was the winning result:
Obviously, this ad demonstrates using iconic imagery and symbolism, from both pop cultural and historical sources, the transformative power of hats.
I think the ad is interesting, and stylistically brilliant. Although I can't help wonder about the reaction if a non-German ad agency created this. Either way, the debate surrounding it makes me recall this quote I came across awhile ago:
-- Walter Abish, How German Is it?
