    So it turns out that UK book store Waterstones has been recommending "Mein Kampf" as the perfect Christmas present. (Original article http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2011/dec/23/mein-kampf-perfect-present-waterstones?fb=optOut).
    I personally find this to be quite funny, I can just imagine "Winter-After Christmas blues got you down, read Mein Kampf!" The company have gotten into a little trouble over this and must have been quite embarassing to say the least, but what do you guys think?

    I don't think this is a political/current event so I'm moving it to off topic.

    Would've been funnier if they were advertising it as the perfect Hanukkah gift.

    Yeah would have been even better but I'm not sure many Brits have ever heard of Hanukkah, or know there is a Jewish religion

    You aren't making your country sound very intelligent there. You have to be pretty stupid to not know what Judaism is.

    I was Joking but I have never met a Jewish person IRL there aren't many people around here, oh and our youth (Not so much me) are extreamly dumb, the amount of people unaware of the existence of Ghandi, Charles Darwin and other great historical figures is rediculous!

    For being an obscure country that nobody knows about, it's quite large.
