Sylar

We can’t say anything anymore. I think anti racism is the new racism

I think the human psyche is incredible. As low people can with depression and feeling worthless, I think peoples egos can get so big that they lose touch with reality. This guys head is so far up his own arse, from what people say about him being a great director, that he thinks that he can add something new to the discussion of Hitler or try to add some levity to it. Kind of like “i know what everyone thinks and what the mainstream line of thought on Hitler is but…..” NO! Hitler was a monster. With some things there are no gray areas…. and if joking about Hitler is your idea of being funny especially as a public figure than you are a fool if you don’t expect a backlash…

Sometimes we can be disappointed when talented artists express their belief and their deep ideas. That is sad (and stupid).

But was it really worth to exclude him from the competition?…

I’m completely agree with Sylar, he was just trying to tell a joke, a bad one misinterpreted, people just didn’t get it and the only part people heard is the word “Hitler” like the “forbidden word”. I’m always surprised by the media today, and the way they always extrapolate a case. I don’t think this one is so serious that they pretend it is, it was a bad joke that’s it. Now this guy is seeing as “the devil who must die for what he said” a very very bad man. This is ridiculous.
