Who among us can say, hand on heart, that they have never attended a fancy dress party dressed as a fascist leader? I mean honestly, anyone?

Er, yes. a "Ghost Costume".

"Boo! I'm a ghost!"

Yeah, we were flipping through channels and I saw that... First I thought, "What a stupid prick", and then I thought... y'know... stupid kid thing, whatever. It's not going to make a huge dent in my psyche or anything.

And then I wondered where all the real news was...

Mark Thatcher apparently had deep misgivings about what the helicopter was going to be used for, and although he suspected it was for a coup attempt, he bought it for his friends anyway. But he said he was sorry, so that's all right then.

I think the Harry thing has been blown out of proportion now though. After all, in previous decades most of the royal family were Nazis and fascits...

That's the reason I took an interest in this story over any of the others yesterday, the possibility for satire. Mark Thatcher is also a great story, but unfortunately plays second fiddle to this one; the gags practically write themselves.
I mean, for heaven's sake, the theme of the party was 'Natives and Colonials'.

meanwhile around the world lots of people were unneccessarily killed, starved to death or died of treatable diseases.

And now Friends.

wasnt it a bad taste party? - I think its all abit over the top myself.

I see the flood news doesnt make it on TV much anymore - oh well.

Not as far as I know, no.
Oh well, irritating Moral Outrage Debate (TM) or no, I still think a pic of Prince Harry in an Afrika Corps uniform complete with Swastika armband is priceless.

In other news, a man is shot and killed by the police just down the road from my flat and no-one cares, a big lump of metal hits a really big lump of rock, and - Breaking News - a popular teenage beat combo decide to split up and bring Despair and Hurricanoes to the nation's schoolyards.

I absolutely love that wearing a combination of six lines can make the entire world piss themselves. Can somebody PLEASE explain why this is a deal at all, let alone an international big deal?

Well then. You see, there once were these people called the Jews. Many can still be found today. Really! Then there was this group of murderous radical ****s some have referred to as the Nazis. This is the group to which those mentioned lines, and "costumes" belong to.

Well, the Nazis didn't care much for the Jews, so there was this big tennis match... ...no wait. I'm sorry, where's my head? Heh. I was thinking of ANOTHER story that DIDN'T have "ethnic cleansing", "genocide", "a ******* World War associated with it", "producing facilities filled with babies where experiments resulted in death", "horrific medical experiments conducted on living and fully conscious human beings such as -injecting them with various liquids like bleach for one just to see what it would do-, -infecting them with diseases to gain results for warfare-, -cutting off limbs without anesthetic then merely sewing them back on to the conscious patient to see what would happen-, -poison, incendiary, and sterilization experiments to name a few-", "gassing living people", "burning men, women and children", "executions abroad".

Man, what was the name of that damn story? Happy Birthday? No. Hallelujah? Nu-uh. Holocaust! Yeah, that's the one!

You don't see the problem with an heir to a political throne not seeing the flawed logic, ******* indecency, and overall stupidity of wearing such a costume? Perhaps he should have gone as a tsunami-flood victim. Oh wait, that would have been a **** thing to do as well.

perhaps the most sarcastic argument ever...

I have to say I agree with Senior on this one. Im kind of shocked Smooth. You are the same one who complains about the stupidity and indecency of your own countrymen, right? Can you at least not see how this could be taken as a severe lack if tact?

Ah, right, my bad. I didn't know you were one of those people who can't differentiate between the people who commited those horrific attrocities and a piece of cloth with a logo.

I know all about what the nazis did during the war. I'm also relatively certain that Prince Harry had nothing to do with it.

My point is that if someone (someone who doesn't have spies taking pictures of them for major newspapers) were to wear that symbol to school, they'd be made to turn the shirt inside out. They would not be asked to appologize to germany.

If Prince Harry had declared his allegiance to the WWII era Nazi party publicly at a press conference, it would be a different story. Wearing their logo as a joke to a party does not, to me at least, mean that he's a typical 20-year-old trying to get a rise out of his friends.

But you wouldn't understand that because you can't seperate that combination of six lines from the unspeakable horrors commited more than half a century ago.

I did not say he was a Nazi. Show me where I did. I stated he's an idiot and an asshole for wearing that "costume" period. Comparing a royal family member and possible future political player to a civilian kid in public school. Please.

I complain about the intolerance of my countrymen. The stupidity of my countryment is never in debate. I never say anything about indecency because I believe that it can be defined on an individual basis.

I can see how this could have been taken as a severe lack of tact had the prince done this at some kind of state affair. He didn't. He wore it to a party. I feel bad for the guy. I can't imagine having everything I do, say, or wear picked up by the papparatzi(sp?) and made a matter of public discussion.

Does anybody truly believe that Prince Harry wore it because he supports the actions that the nazis perpetrated back in the 30's and 40's?

Which sounds more plausable:

a) He is a nazi and supports the actions of Hitler and the Haulocaust
b) He thought it would be funny to wear it to a party with his friends
c) I can't tell the difference between A and B, it's a swastica, for christ's sake! Think of the children!!!

Guess I should say that I personally do not support the nazis or condone the actions they took during the haulocaust, since that might be in debate right now.
