A JCPenney billboard of tea kettle on the 405 Interstate near Culver City, California, which some people say resembles Adolf Hitler, has caused quite the stir. The company officially denied the advertisement is intended to represent the Nazi dictator, responding in a tweet: "Certainly unintended. If we'd designed the kettle to look like something, we would've gone w/a snowman." The idea that the kettle resembled Hitler caught on after someone posted a photo on Imgur, the photo sharing site. According to The Telegraph, which wrote a story about it, one user of Reddit said, "That Hitler looks like a kettle."
"He even has his right arm extended," wrote another, while a third added: "I'm a little Nazi, short and stout." Others who commented on the "look" of the item completely disagreed with the comparison to the infamous dictator.
