A billboard advert for a JC Penney kettle has gone viral after Reddit user billburman pointed out an uncanny resemblance to Adolf Hitler.

The advert, which is in California, led to second looks from viewers, with several saying they are glad that they are not the only ones to see the resemblance.

Tishacombs said: “I stare at this from my office building every day and now I can tell my co-workers that I'm not the only one who saw the Hitler in the bells and whistles sign!”
