I suggest that all HN readers in the UK go to their local stores containing DVDs/BluRays, find a copy of "The Producers", and then contact the police immediately because the movie concerns a group of crooked financiers that include Nazism to profit. Explain to the police that you are deeply offended that anyone would attempt to profit off of Nazism and that everyone associated with the movie and the people that own and run the store you found the DVD/BluRay in should be arrested and charged with offending you.

- UncleMeat 9y agoExcept the producers is very clearly satirizing and criticizing Nazi propaganda and theater. The structure of these jokes are totally different.
- cuckcuckspruce 9y agoIt was clear to me that the video in question in the case was not glorifying Nazism - the person convicted stated he was sick of people saying his girlfriend's dog was cute so he trained the dog to do those things to both annoy his girlfriend as a joke and so people would stop thinking of the dog as cute because there's no less cute thing, in his mind, than a Nazi. The fact that some neo-Nazis liked it is, in my mind, beside the point. I'm sure some neo-Nazis liked "The Producers" for, in their minds, showing that catering to the neo-Nazi crowd was profitable.
