Why Brooklyn is Different From Berlin: No Heil Santa

The cheap headline is just an excuse to mention this item that caught our eye on Gridskipper about possible Nazi-looking Santas in Deutschland. The item is weird, if not spooky, and we've had in on our list for a couple of days, delaying because it's "not a Brooklyn item." Since Brooklyn and Berlin go nicely in the same sentence, it's a Brooklyn item. In any case, it Seems Germany, at the moment, has an issue with Santa dolls that appear to be doing the old Hitler Sieg Heil arm to the sky salute. Although, he may just be pointing at reindeer. Either way, that someone at a Germany company didn't notice this could be a problem is amazing. You can check out the pic and the English article in Der Spiegel and decide for yourself.
