I'd try to get my hands on a can just to put it on my shelf as a laugh.
Because I'm a sick, sick woman.

It's reducing him down to marketing gimmick ala Chester Cheetah?erttheking said:I fail to see how this actually parodies Hitler. I mean if you want to mock the guy, have Captain America punching him in the face (oh wait, he was secretly a Nazi this whole time)
Yeah I've seen people who like Mountain Dew love to do that. A few friends of mine love the piss tasting drink and when they had their 4 flavour sell most contest everyone referred to the white one as "White Powder" due to the white powder used to give it the colour and flavour, and to make the very obvious pun.Michael Tabbut said:As a Mountain Dew addict and a fan of taking the piss out of damn near everything, I would buy shelf of this shit.
This.MysticSlayer said:You mean the flavor of Mountain Dew isn't already offensive enough?
Well, of course you are. Anyone would be sick after drinking a can of Mountain Dew.Katherine Kerensky said:I'd try to get my hands on a can just to put it on my shelf as a laugh.

...What do you take me for, someone without standards? I said it'd go on my shelf. I'd never drink it, I have enough health problems.Vigormortis said:Well, of course you are.

I know I'm sterotype, I friggin love Diet Mt Dew.
Nearly? Since? There were greater evils at the time! Stalin? Mao? The Japanese made the Nazis look like saints in comparison. Of course, ranking high-level evil isn't an easy task, not least because you need to pause and go hug someone every so often.DudeistBelieve said:While I get it... I mean the reason it's funny to me is that he very clearly DID do wrong. Like there hasn't been nearly a greater evil on this planet since the son of *****. It's as plain as the sky being blue to me.
No no. If it was 4Chan soda it be called "Rape Cola"SKBPinkie said:No thanks.
I'm well over 15 now, so the dumb 4chan-esque "jokes" aren't really funny to me anymore.
I tend to find people that claim to love dark humor though some of the time don't really know what dark humor is. Like They'll just say racist things and call it dark humor.Terminalchaos said:That's similar to the arguments used to try and censor music lyrics in the 80's and 90's. I'm sick of having to pay for the idiots of the world. We should be able to have dark jokes and nice things despite the fact that some assholes will try and ruin it. My current D&D group is coincidentally 60% people of Hebrew heritage (myself included) "Hitler did nothing wrong" Mt Dew would become an ongoing gaming joke at our table for years to come.Thaluikhain said:No, because it's not just a joke, there are people that actually claim this, or who look rather similar if you squint a bit.
I think on a certain level we have to. It's just the sign of the times, you anger the wrong group of people your life is gonna get fucked up for a while.Recusant said:Nearly? Since?

I see your point, though; the guy was pretty damn evil. Few would deny that. What worries me is this attitude that you can't do something because someone will interpret it incorrectly. So a couple of ethically lackluster folks appreciate in "unironically" (whatever the hell that means)- so what? Should we avoid mocking anything for fear people will think we approve of it?
