I hate Illinois Gingerbread Nazis

Artists, we are often told, are sensitive, intelligent people. Well, that may be true for some artists, but not this dumbass.

An artist's creation of gingerbread Nazis drew complaints after it was displayed in a hardware store window, prompting the store owner to demand the artwork be removed. Charlie Palmer covered the gingerbread men during the weekend and said he wanted them out by of his business by Tuesday.

"He's gone way overboard this time," Palmer said of artist Keith McGuckin. "A few of his other displays were on the edge, but never that crazy."

McGuckin said he chose the subject to provoke thought, not to offend.

"I can differentiate between real Nazis and that the atrocities they performed compared to these little gingerbread men, but I guess some people can't," said McGuckin, 50.

That's not the issue here, moron. The problem is that you can't differentiate between good and bad taste. I mean, did this genius ever stop to think that some people might think that a cute little gingerbread Hitler (and Hitler is included—I saw this thing on the teevee, and there's a little gingerbread Hitler up on a podium, rallying his little gingerbread brownshirts) kind of trivializes the real Hitler?

And by the way, I'm sick of this "I just wanted to provoke thought, not offend anybody" argument. Any time some tard does something guaranteed to offend someone, they trot that line out. It's getting old.

McGuckin is searching for new display space in the town, home of Oberlin College and known for its left-leaning, beads-and-incense image.

Well, in a town like that, there's probably some Jew-hating, pro-terrorist group that would love to accomodate him. Maybe the local branch of this, uh, distinguished organization.
