It's Swastika-Tit Man!!

A Rabbi complained about the swastikas in this Coca-Cola promotional toy. I think that is just the tip of the iceberg in this collection of bad taste.

Apparently, the figure is called 'Robowaru.' Coke is offering its Hong Kong customers: "a Robowaru figurine as part of a set of characters from the long running 'Robocon' animated series, which originated in Japan about 30 years ago.

"The swastikas look like a Nazi icon and are also similar to a Buddhist symbol that is common in Asia."


Thanks to The Corner!
