on ebay..

the link is to the SOLD teapots.. There are many more for sale.. By making a big deal out of it, many people bought out what was available & are making more money than Penneys would probably have made from a teapot that would probably have been put on sale for half price at some point & may have ended up at Big Lots, like many overpriced utilitarian objects do.

1. Well here's a pic, should explain for people wondering WTF?:

For the record, Michael Graves is an architect and like many architects is also in industrial designer (me too to both).

Graves and other famous architects/designers (i am not famous) all designed a teapot like 20 years ago or so. This Hitler pot is Graves' design.

2. Almost Henry Dreyfuss-like...

3. As long as they don't try boiling water in the thing...

I haven't seen a Graves design yet that worked worth a shit.

4. HELP! I can't NOT see Hitler when I see that teapot.

9. Please bring it in

BTW, did you know that we're having a sale on Stalin Crock Pots?

And our Mussolini bakeware is to die for.

13. Go back

And buy them. Quickly.

Good profits to be made while the story is still hot.

6. I think this story has jumped the Godwin

Anthropomorphizing a particular view of a teapot and turning that into Adolf Hitler....ehhhhh, sounds a little funky to me

10. After all the Jesus toast, etc. anything is possible

[MrScorpio]

7. When you squint at it, it vaguely looks like a South Park version of Hitler…

So, I blame South Park for this atrocity.

8. It's not even a Hitler "teapot". It's a Hitler teaKETTLE.

Teapots are for pouring boiling water into for steeping tea. Teakettles are for boiling water. This is the latter.

12. Nice Post Emily Post!

[ProdigalJunkMail]

15. I see what you did there... :-)

[NYC_SKP]

17. LOL!!!

[mucifer]

11. This is so silly. It's like Mel Brooks designed this making fun of hitler.

Am I missing something?

[marions ghost]

14. I've got a good imagination but

I don't see Hitler in the teapot. It's like Our Lady of the Underpass or Jesus on toast.

I think they might have planted this little viral concept to sell the stupid things.

18. Kettler!

Wow, people are strange.
