    So last night this surfaced on facebook. There were a multitude of comments but some people were seriously offended. I found it humorous. Mostly because hey its Hitler right. Why do people get so bent out of shape about things like this?

    I don't really care but why is it hard to understand that, 1. That guy was doing his thing, could be a super nice guy, and is now all over the internet compared to a murderer of over 6 million people. So there's that. Then 2. even though it is not pro-hitler, some people don't want to mix humor with 6 million deaths and an almost genocide of a race. Like I said, it's whatev, but I'm sure you can understand how it offends some people.

    All I'm saying, is that there is no irony lost to the fact that this is being discussed on a site where some members struggle with weight. What if some woman here looked like a really fat celeb and they did the mcdonalds plus thing. What if she was then taunted everywhere she went. Before you say tell her lose it...maybe she was trying.

    Doesn't bother me at ALL, just saying I see why for some.

    Whilst I'm not personally offended, I don't find it particularly funny either.

    However, it's not hard to see why people might be offended:
    1, What Hitler got up to is pretty serious stuff.
    2, We know nothing about the guy in the picture. Judging by the composition, I doubt he consented to the picture or it's use in this way.

    I'm also surprised that given this is a weight loss site, we are laughing at a fat person. For all we know he is a member here trying to better himself.

    So? Laughing at fat people is off limits or something? I find it funny because it's like the 2012 version of Adolf Hitler.

    People are way too sensitive.

    I agree that I have sympathy for the subway guy. But it's really OK to make fun of Hitler. The Three Stooges and the Marx Brothers did it before, during and after WWII. Mel Brooks did it in The Producers.

    People make fun of Hitler all the time. It's like it's OK to laugh at bin Laden but not OK to laugh about 9/11.

    I didn't say that, however just like being too sensitive, people can be too insensitive too.
