JC Penney: Hitler kettle wasn’t intentional, snowmen are much better
The kettle that looks like Hitler has sold out and is no longer on the JC Penney website, following an ad for the kettle going viral.The company has, however, handled the issue well on social media, while insisting the likeness was not deliberate.The ‘bells and whistles’ kettle was designed by Michael Graves Design.
@someecards Totally unintentional. If we had designed the kettle to look like something, we would've gone w/this: twitter.com/jcpenney/statu…
