German agency advertises with Hitler for hat dealer

 
The Hamburg office of the German advertising agency Serviceplan has dared to break a taboo. For its Bonn-based client Hut Weber, it is showing a pictogram of Hitler next to a pictogram of Charlie Chaplin on a new poster campaign, inspired by his appearance in the film "The Great Dictator. "The images differ only in that they feature a hat. The text underneath reads, "It's the hat." As the industry service Horizont.net reports, the campaign has already sparked lively discussions.
