I think it's safe to say that, if there is, they're not working for Simply Southern.

Go to their FB page... someone tried to point out the problem...

Not so obvious in the bright yellow and orange... but the dark blue (almost black!) version for their profile pic....  ???

Yeah, that guy really DID try, but those vapid soccer moms just didn't get it.

And the NAZIS really do win. Thanks soccer moms.

The next Cotillion will be festooned with SS banners.

MTV as we know it hasn't existed in 20 years. That makes me sad because if was awesome once...cutting edge in many ways and the harbinger of things cool.

More like 25 years. I hate to say it, but Beavis and Butt-Head in 1992 or so was the harbinger of the end of MTV. Once they realized that shows other than actual music videos were popular, that kind of killed it. That and Yo! MTV Raps.

I think LB hit the nail on the head. For most of the world 75 years ago is ancient history. Couple that with large parts of the world that were not directly assaulted by Hitler and you have the makings of the Hitler Underoos Shop. Still doesn't mean thatpeople should not be awoken from their ignorance though.

Being awoken from ignorance requires effort, though. Those idiots on the FB page that are gushing over it and accusing people of pointing out that their logo might possibly be changed because it resembles the logo of the terror arm of one of the most monstrous regimes in world history is akin to giving Southern Shite an open door to legal action...my Gawd, those women are flucking idiots. But I suppose ignorance is bliss for them.

Although, Gus, I might buy some Hitler Underoos. It would go with my Hipster Hitler T-shirts.

^HAHAHA!!! I'd wear that one.

I showed the logo to my wife, the most UN-military woman on the planet.

Her one-word reply was, "Nazis."

In college I had a great Western civilization course that included a unit on WWII taught by a 75 year old professor originally from Norway. He gave great lectures and was a soldier in Norway when the Germans invaded. His lectures were so emotional and powerful - it's hard to describe. He had every student paying rapt attention...every single one, in a giant lecture hall. I really wonder if there's anyone left out there like that professor.

Probably, but these days they'll be discussing 'Nam.

Well Americans did elect a president who uses Soviet propaganda imagery in his political campaigns and events, so fuck it.  We clearly did not learn anything from the 20th Century.  I'm going to grill up some hot dogs now.  Just need to decide if I want to make the effort to bake some tater tots or not.

life is always better with tater tots.

I deep fried a huge batch of bacon wrapped tater tots once.
there is no measure of time to describe how fast they vanished.

You inspired me to repeat that experiment on the 2nd most un-military woman on the planet, my wife. She gasped and said, "SS, that's wrong!"

In 3rd year, I took Russian from a Polish guy, who lived in eastern Poland when the Nazis & Soviets took it.  His family got moved to Siberia and he learned Russian.  He had great stories.  He also fought in the Israeli War of Independence, more great stories.  In 4th year an old retired German doctor audited my Military Studies course.  As it turned out, he was in the Heer on the Eastern Front.  I can't recall if he was at Kursk or Stalingrad, but I do remember him saying that his General defied Hitler by ordering a retreat, and that he was alive because of that.
