Turkish shampoo ad featuring Hitler panned by critics
A Turkish shampoo commercial featuring Adolf Hitler has infuriated Jewish groups worldwide and has led to calls for it to be withdrawn immediately. The commercial for Biomen, a men's shampoo, shows Hitler delivering an enthusiastic speech urging male customers to buy the product, described as "a 100 percent male shampoo." In the ad, Hitler proclaims, "If you are not wearing a woman's dress, you should not use her shampoo either." The Turkish Jewish Community blasted the 12-second ad, saying, "It's totally unacceptable to make use of Hitler, the most striking example of cruelty and savagery." On an international level, the United States-based Anti-Defamation League (ADL), said it was "repulsed." Abraham H. Foxman, the national director of the ADL and a Holocaust survivor, said, "It is an insult to the memory of those who perished in the Holocaust, those who survived, and those who fought to defeat the Nazis."
