The Telegrah. Tea kettle advertised by American retailer looks like Adolf Hitler

A well-known American retailer has found itself in an awkward situation, after people noted a kettle featured on the retailer's billboards looked similar to the notorious German dictator Adolf Hitler.

A photo of a huge JCPenney billboard advertising the device has been posted on Reddit.com this weekend. The site’s users immediately noted the striking resemblance. “He even has his right arm extended,” one comment read. “I'm a little Nazi, short and stout,” another added.

“This stainless steel tea kettle has all the bells and whistles you'll need - a cool-touch handle, space-saving design and a delightful whistle to let you know when it's ready to pour,” says the description of the kettle, designed by Michael Graves, on the JCPenney web-site.

Reviews posted below the description, however, indicate that the kettle “looks beautiful”, but its quality is “extremely poor”.
Things that look like Hitler have become a popular web meme. In 2011, a photo of an end-of-terrace house in Swansea, Britain, became an Internet hit, after hundreds of thousands of people noted its slanted roof bore a resemblance to the Hitler fringe.
Meanwhile, wine bottles featuring Adolf Hitler on the label can be found in Italian supermarkets.
