Hell Pizza gives Hitler the boot

Hell Pizza gives Hitler the boot - New Zealand, world, sport, business & entertainment news on Stuff.co.nz

The Hell pizza chain is removing its billboards of Hitler saluting with a pizza slice after complaints from the Jewish community.

The chain, which has had a string of complaints about its advertising, including a condom mailout last year, said the Hitler billboards in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch were meant to lampoon Hitler rather than be offensive.

The Nazi leader is shown in a Heil Hitler salute with pizza in his hand, next to his quote: "It is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell."

I would say this qualifies as a "poor" choice for advertisment.

Poor taste that one.
