I don't get that one. Is he just shocked at seeing his name in the paper so much?
Not sure, I'm hoping to find the movie on netflix with subtitles. According to one review he may have been shocked to find that Poland exists.
But my thought was same as yours...

The Atlantic article is titled Fuhrer Humor and decries flippant references to Hitler.
I thought that apropos to this campaign season.

Would a caption "Lighten Up" be in poor taste ?

Please Note: The illeagle cranky old bird attack is nonpartisan - the silly goose had part of his left-wing amputated! :biggrin:
