My boss once compared Roseanne to Hitler


I worked for a garment company that was making a "Roseanne Arnold" clothing line in the 90s for Roseanne. But she and my boss had a falling out, and my boss was quoted as saying, "I'd rather put Hitler's name on my clothes than Roseanne's." ( http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1994-04-05/features/1994095114_1_warner-roseanne-robins )

And he did put Hitler's name on his clothes! One of his labels was called "Adolfo Collectibles."

She would not be against that comparison.

As I wait for Barr to arrive, I contemplate the pop culture folklore that surrounds her: the alleged multiple personality disorder, the roller coaster relationship with Tom Arnold—which culminated in a bitter divorce—the theory (her own) that she may in fact be the reincarnation of Adolf Hitler, whom she has requested to be dressed as for her Heeb photo shoot.

Still peddling fake news?

It's exactly what she said, and she did in fact request to dress up as Hitler for the photo shoot.

It's not like those photos are some conspiracy. She requested to dress up at Hitler, baking human-shaped cookies, and she did.

Is anything you dislike "fake news"?

reply

That photo is absolutely disgusting...what the hell is wrong with this woman!?!

And why would a Jewish website not toss her out on her butt for requesting such a photoshoot??

Im bewildered and grossed out
I can only assume she is not right in the head

reply

Heeb was a satirical magazine, so that's how they treated her request: As satire.

They were probably also hoping for some buzz from the controversy too, because it seems like Heeb was a struggling startup magazine that is now just a blog (if I recall correctly).

Hmmm...i see
Shame on them all in that case
Im a big fan of comedy, parody, sarcastic witty banter, whatever have you really
This was neither funny nor witty
Some things i dont enjoy joking about (an oven??? Really!?)

Thank you Frog
Hard to believe i once found this person very funny...

Agreed on both points

Funny performer
Total idiot

It's called satire you idiot. Roseanne is Jewish and Heeb is a Jewish magazine. Only a moron would believe that they're promoting Nazism.
