(6,568 posts)4. For a Jewish magazine called "Heeb"
In an explanation posted on HEEBs website soon after the pictures were posted, the magazines then-publisher, Joshua Neuman, wrote that the photos were inspired by questions about whether the taboo against joking about the Holocaust and the Nazis exerted as much power as it used to.
Wrote Neuman: What better way to capture this moment in popular culture than by having the original domestic goddess don the Fuhrers famous mustache? For better or worse, hasnt the Holocaust itself been domesticated?

Info about the magazine.

Also, it should be noted that Roseanne is Jewish.

Let's boycott her sponsors, imo.
