Hitler Cakes

A friend passed me a photo of this cake offered at a 7-11. That face can't be who we think it is, right?

Nazi Party in Taiwan

Mini flap in Taiwan over a group of students who have formed a Nazi party in Taiwan:

Twenty university students yesterday founded an association with Adolf Hitler as its inspiration, and set themselves the goal of turning Taiwan into a Nazi country in a bid to show their extreme dissatisfaction with the continuous political squabbling that pervades life in Taiwanese society these days, according to local Chinese-language media reports.

The National Socialism Association presently has over 800 members on its books, most of whom are university or high-school students, according to information on the association's Web site.

One co-founder of the association, surnamed Hsu, announced plans to invite all members to hold a meeting next Saturday, explaining that supporters will be clearly told that the NSA aims to seize the reins of government.

"We will find a quiet place to discuss the association's future with our members earnestly," the 22-year-old Hsu was quoted as saying.

Hsu, who graduated from the political department of Soochow University last year, noted that she was so fed up with all the political wrangling between the ruling and opposition parties that she and several other followers of Nazi ideology decided to found the association.

My friend Dan Bloom sent me the link to the website: http://www.twnazi.org/. This looks more like parody than seriousness. Memoirs on a rainy day has additional comments.

UPDATE: Dan just emailed me to say this looks like it might be serious.
