Dan and Ben Merchandising

Man, that is impressive.

Being just a regular peasant I purchased only the commoner or 'mug' version of this particular design.

It arrived too late for my obligatory morning cup of englishman fuel, but is providing the necessary offensiveness quotient on my desk anway.

Keep up the good work lads.

The Hitler mugs have been pulled again, then. I've emailed Zazzle to ask why. Presumably it's Hitler, but who knows.

[Ben]

If it is, we should go through ALL their merchandise and complain about anything vaguely offensive.

[MashPotato]

I'm surprised they didn't tell you, especially when you put it back up after it was pulled the first time.  Simple courtesy, no?

[Dan]

Unfortunately, due to the content we are unable to carry products with this image.  We do not allow name/images of Hitler.

So there you go.

Hold on to that Hitler stein! It's suddenly become an extremely valuable one-of-a-kind piece!

[Dan]

It's presumably because idiots make loads of needlessly-offensive HITLER WAS AWESOME T-shirts so they've just introduced a flat-out ban on Hitler stuff. Shame.

[bignobody]

What's funny is how despite the ban, one was produced and shipped :D

[Dan]

Good point. El_MUERkO, if you could burn yours that'd be really helpful. It's just that it's got Hitler on it?

[Ben]

Dan, I think you meant to post that in the IRONY thread.

[Dan]

Would it be better to start a new one?

I did some advertising! Got my mug onto a BBC 6 Music page where it may be seen by literally one or two people, although one of those might have been famous comedian Richard Herring. They wanted pictures of peoples' mugs, so I sent in my one. http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/adamandjoe/galleries/5629/133/#gallery5629


I have to admit though, whoever thought of this mug was some kind of mug-designing genius: http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/adamandjoe/galleries/5629/154/#gallery5629

[Dan]

AMAZING, you can't get better than 133 out of 168!

[Toothball]

Actually 130 of the pictures in that gallery are from previous weeks' tasks. The only two before me for this week's one are the presenters themselves, so that technically makes mine third. Check the one before mine for Richard Herring sporting a Hitler moustache too, which seems somewhat relevant in this context.

[Ben]

Also, Herring wrote a sitcom called 'Time Gentlemen Please' (currently the #2 google result for that phrase)!
