wtf

Just spent a rather creepy fifteen minutes looking for a friendship pin for teh mom-in-law (Australian and US flags together). What is it with badge/button/pin shops online flogging Nazi emblems?!

You get that a lot with the sword and knife trade, too (I used to be a retailer, sold at conventions and stuff): loads of nazi regalia replicas in the wholesale catalogs. Even trying to be charitable and figuring the main market was WWII collectors and reenactors, it was still really icky. :(

Yah, I wouldn't be much bothered if it was obviously just memorabilia... but a Nazi flag lapel pin? :P

Tell me about it -- I live in Idaho.
