It's anti-semitic (not to be a pedant).

FWIW the swastika symbol predates the rise of nazism. It's been around in various cultures (I believe originally from the Indian) as a sign of good luck. Most of the old chips you see like that are from the late 20s/early 30s and actually don't have anything to do with nazism, though you'll see some unscrupulous persons claim they do. That said I wouldn't own a set since the symbol is now tainted.

I know. Everything you said is accurate.

I just thought it was good for a grin.

Dear tool:

It wasn't. For your next joke why don't you head over to OOT and nominate Schindler's List in the "Best Comedy Movie of the last 30 years" thread. You suck. Ban yourself.

Sincerely,
Nick

No. I wasn't referring to you. I was referring to Jersey Nick's reply.

For a while, the swastika was associated with the Boys Scouts, pre WW-II

Yea It's had a lot of meanings over the years, we all know the most famous one.

I just thought it was strange to see it on a poker chip like that.

Definately a bit of a jolt to seem them marketing it.
