And I thought I'd seen it all...

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

I like your avatar. Is that the original size or has it been reduced? If the original is bigger could you tell me where I can save one (pic) for my collection. It's kinda hard to make out the 5th suit on the Ace.

Hey dude

Why don't you take the gerbil out of your ass and lighten the [censored] up. No one with half a brain would be offended by the connotation of this post.

Have a wonderful day

Dear PG,
On previous occasions I’ve proven that I’m no brain surgeon. However, as a person with friends and family who were Holocaust victims and survivors, I can assure you that Nazi humor is almost never funny. Your post did absolutely nothing for the forum and was not funny. I’m sorry I let your bad attempt at humor bother me.
P.S. the gerbil said to say “thanks”.

I'm jewish and I'm not offended. I don't think he meant any slur by it. I probably should be offended but I'm not as I don't think any kind of intolerance was intended.
