    He apologised to the Jewish Chronicle?

    That's pretty sad, I always thought they actually did have that right in Britain. O_o
    What's the decaying Britain thing about?

    It's a joke from another site, I momentarily forgot which part of the internets I was posting in :P

    It's a bit like white celebrities who say the 'N word' apologising to Jesse Jackson. He's not the emperor of black people, and I'm sure the Jewish Chronicle isn't the support group for Nazi-victims either.

    How long will it take for Nazism to become funny?

    Huh? There's nothing revelatory about that - there's libel, slander, the Incitement to Hatred Act. You can't go round saying whatever hateful sh1t you like without recourse - and rightly so. What about the rights of the people on the receiving end? Bizarre how some fascist kunt's free speech rights are deemed more important by some.
    Howls for free speech nearly always seem to come from people who want to say dickish things, e.g. supporters of that mayor in Naas.

    Which aspects do you feel are worthy of being funny?

    Ah you know, the fact that Hitler and his cohorts all believed in the premise of an Aryan 'Master Race', even though barely any of them were blue-eyed or blonde at all.

    Also the fact the Reinhard Heydrich had Jewish ancestry.

    We've all the heard the holocaust jokes too. Tasteless as they may be people find humour in such things.

    Also, Mein Kampf is quite a rollicking piece of fun too, if you find the crazed ramblings of a mad-man funny. Pity none of the leaders of Hitler's time read the damn thing.

    Would have been a good Transport Minister too, good at making trains run on time.

    The Producers spoofed the nazi ridiculousness. So did an older movie - can't remember the name. Certain comedy takes on the third reich are sharp and not intended to offend. But some people just want to be dicks and/or outrageous for the sake of it, and pretend they're just joking.
    This story too - was it definitely just a joke nazi themed party? Can't see what's funny about it if it was - just "look at me!" stuff.

    Indeed, the shock value of wearing Nazi outfits has subsided. It's a lazy way to needlessly offend. People should look past the 1930s and 1940s for their attention-seeking endeavours.

    Even the sons of fascists can't get away with this stuff anymore

    Some people don't understand what fancy dress parties are.

    This is the same furore as we had when Prince Harry went to a fancy dress party dressed as a Nazi in February 2005.

    Bet you'd be outraged by it if it was a bunch of people dressed up as Stalin and the red army.
    Interesting though how the "guardianistas" wouldn't do that, despite their apparent admiration of Stalin (in the imagination of wack-jobs).

    Time and a place really. Remember it is actually against the law in many European countries to wear Nazi regalia etc. without permission (say for filming a movie or some such)... if these twats wanted to dress up and play nazi they should've stayed in England to do it. Either way, it's not really that funny at the end of the day.

    Satire is funny. Parody is funny. A group of no-doubt drunken English fools on the continent giving mock orders and Nazi salutes is not funny. In the slightest.

    Stalin killed more than the Nazis did. If I dressed up as Stalin for the laugh would I be condemned too? Or even Napoleon or Oliver Cromwell?

    I'm dressing as Cromwell next Hallowe'en in Drogheda. Wonder how many people would recognise the costume and run me outta town.

    Quoted because I couldn't thank twice.
    I take it that none of the posters who find this funny have family members who were affected by the holocaust or met survivors who still have tattoos on their wrists.

    A new low for boards.ie and frankly I'm shocked that this thread is still open.

    Moderators, please note this and be aware of potential legal consequences...

    There is nothing funny about mass murder, mass rape, butchering young children etc.

    Those who have made light of this should hang their heads in shame.

    Oh will you give over. It might be tasteless, but tasteless humour is popular. Nazis and the Holocaust are so far removed from most peoples' experience now, well pretty much anyone posting on boards. Taking the piss out of Nazis is apart from anything else testament to the fact they and their philosophy was so thoroughly discredited. A bunch of murderous clowns.

    And what are these legal consequences you're talking about?
