JCPenney Forced To Deny Tea Kettle Looks Like Hitler (JCP)

    Business Insider

    The notion that the kettle looked a bit like the architect of the Holocaust caught on after someone posted a photo on Imgur, the photo sharing site, showing what the image of the kettle looks like if you squint at it.
    Sure enough, a black sweep of hair, a moustache and a saluting "arm" appear, sort of.

    The Telegraph wrote a story about it, and JCP responded in a tweet that said, "Certainly unintended. If we'd designed the kettle to look like something, we would've gone w/a snowman." (It's a rare day when a major retailer can get away with tweeting a Hitler joke — but JCP has pulled this off.)

    Here's the Imgur photo:
