German Artist Incurs Backlash After Hitler Toilet Roll
Thursday 29th March 2012 | Osh
Georg Buchrucker has caused controversy by creating toilet paper adorned with Adolf Hitler’s face- inviting buyers to "add a brown moustache" when they use it (HAHA!).
If you ever fancied seeing the face of one of history’s most notorious figures every time you visit the bathroom, then your prayers have been answered.
Georg has been heavily criticised for his creation with people saying it trivialises the awful crimes the man committed. However, Georg from Bunn, Germany has received a lot of interest and so disagrees. He said "I am getting emails now and orders from as far afield as America and Australia." He is glad that his idea is so popular but wishes attackers would "loosen up a bit".
It is named Draw Your Own S**tler. The roll depicts the Fuhrer’s face without his trademark moustache instead leaving a gap for the customer to add a brown one of their own. Georg highlights the positives by saying it is not just practical, you can also make a point with humour!
Which moustache- wearing man in history would deserve this treatment more than Hitler? And at £3 a roll, Mr Buchrucker is bound to get lots of custom. Call us boring but we’re going to stick to andrex!
