It's a nice looking pad. Some of other stuff on the site is not in the nicest of taste & the testimonial from the customer (if she even exists) is really weird:

"I received my Adolf doll in the mail safe and sound last week. He is beautiful and a wonderful addition to my other related belongings! Thanks SOO much for your help during the order process! - Jill"

That's somebody with some strange ideas about collectables. Tell your friends about her & see if they still criticise you for playing a harmless game.

not defending her tastes in dolls, because i agree that it is tasteless.

i guess the only way i could see it as not tasteless... most toy manufacturers wont make a hitler action figure... and yes some people collect these 12" figures... http://livres.histoireetcollections....s-of-wwii.html there are literally dozens of figures from every major power involved in world war two. and if you really wanted a "hitler doll" to complete your collection...

...well there are only a few companies out there with the stones between their legs to put political correctness aside and acually build one.

but its a free country i happen to live in, if she wants a satan doll... well whatever ... she has the right i suppose.

"it takes all kinds to make a world."

edit: and because of the above statement... its a silly world we live in haha

//Link Removed

Replica Zyclon-B canisters are far, far beyond bad taste.

Especialy when the site claims:

"Used to destroy unsightly pests and vermin by German Nazi military authorities in order to fight the spread of diseases."

GoldenRivet: You do Subsim a great disservice to link this filth. My contempt for
anyone who would consider doing business with such a shop is beyond words.

What caught my eye was the WWII anti Jew propaganda that was being sold. There was a sales pitch that said that later the artist was hanged at Nurnberg. The sales pitch lamented that the only crime of the artist was free speech in a sovereign country.

There were some very interesting items in terms of U-boat merchandise. I guess I personally would be suspicious of promoting Nazism by buying their products however.

I looked around the sight more after my 1st reply. There is some very blatent Nazi propagating language. That would stop me from buying their merchandise. It is a shame because there is some 1st rate historical items that this site does sell.

[GoldenRivet]

whoa guys

i didnt know they sold killer gas canisters!!!

Guess i never really explored the site that much.

like i said i have only done business with the site once years ago, and I just saw the U-boat themed mouse pad in an advertisment and thought it was neat.

thought some would agree or like to have one.... only reason it was posted

EDIT: I have removed the link to the site from the original post. the only link is to the image of the mouse pad. if anyone wants a mouse pad let me know i will provide you with a link to the site... or find another site which sells this particular mouse pad.

Thanks for removing that awful link.

I knew that I'd seen that site before; I just didn't remember it until now. That site gives decent, reputable Third Reich memorabilia dealers a really bad name...

Mistakes have been made here before at SUBSIM , let's cut GR a bit of slack, the mentioned link has been removed.

Lesson here: investigate links before posting them.

thanks, RDP.

i suppose those who have known me here at subsim long enough would know i would never intentionally post, say or do anything that would be considered a "disservice" to subsim.

honestly... I saw an ad for a cool mouse pad, went to the site, bought it, and out of excitement for sharing my find i literally copied and posted the link here before the printer had even finished printing my receipt.

I was once using a funny joke as a sig, but was called out because it conflicted with my stated opposition to bashing other countries. I removed it immediately, to the delight of some and concern of others, but that's not really what's important.

I just wanted to say to GoldenRivet what someone else said to me when I changed it without hesitation:

You, Sir, have class!

Nice mousepad GoldenRivet.
