People must not be reminded of uncle Adolf, apparently
"A poster hung at a train station that featured a ticket inspector with a red armband and Hitler moustache has been slammed.
Andy Morley was commissioned by Nexus, the owners of Newcastle's underground transport system, to produce a light-hearted graffiti board at Chillingham Road Metro station over Christmas to remind travellers to buy a ticket.
But the German bosses of the Metro network have failed to see the funny side of the artwork. The German bosses of underground owners, Nexus, complained the 'light-hearted graffiti board' was distasteful
The design Andy created featured three grumpy inspectors, one with a small Hitler moustache and red armband, accompanied by the slogan 'Santa is coming to town and he better have a ticket'. Just two days after its unveiling, it was taken down.
Andy, 42, of Denton Burn, Newcastle, who collaborated with fellow artist John Dyer, said: 'It was only poking fun at inspectors by comparing them to 'little Hitlers'.

The Germans are foolish to draw attention to their lingering embarrassment about the nazi era 65 years ago.
That's true, but the poster was a dumb idea, especially in a country filled with PC'ized pansys who find anything, and everything, offensive.
As Jack Nicholson said in 'A Few Good Men', "you want the truth, you can't handle the truth."
Transport security in any counrty all seem to behave like little Hitlers. They rely on patrons not knowing their legal rights and intimidate them remorselessly.
What a bunch of pricks. Them and the metro owners.
NO SOUP FOR YOU
Funny, leftists are always using the Hitler and Nazi reference when it comes to conservatives.
I guess they don't like it when it's directed at them!
