Unknown said...: Best use of this meme yet! Plus, the swastika mocassins are a real Etsy product.; February 14, 2011 at 6:51 PM

etsyhater said...: That was hysterical, and sadly, very true.

Thanks for the laugh!; February 14, 2011 at 9:07 PM
Oldschoolart said...: This made me happy and wistful and hopeful that a new and actual handmade site will eventually occur and will be welcomed with open arms.; February 14, 2011 at 9:13 PM
Christian Marie said...: I can't figure out what the point of this video is supposed to be. Are they comparing Hitler to people who complain about Etsy? That doesn't make much sense, so I'm thinking I must be missing something.; February 14, 2011 at 10:39 PM
AllisontheImp said...: I think I'm gonna put moustaches on everything, now.; February 14, 2011 at 11:19 PM

The Funny One said...: Score = 5 buckets of popcorn

Etsy Product Plan = get out the safety pins and glue gun

Result = Get 1,798 repeats on the FP (focus on bland, butter-colored thingys that are maybe-handmade)

Goal = Etsy employees contruct a special room for my Popcorn Safety Pin Products and turn it into their new Tweet Room.

Etsy = they'd rather do anything BUT open an actual customer service phone line (promises, schmomises!); February 15, 2011 at 6:56 AM

Poor Hitler just wanted to make art!; February 15, 2011 at 8:55 AM
Danyel said...: Best. Video. Ever.; February 15, 2011 at 10:29 AM
buckaroousa said...: This is sad but true, I have been finding this out for some time. I have also been hearing what many people have been saying about a real site, we have been working on one for almost 9 months now and we opened in January. Come see how we do things. Give us a chance, A Family owned and operated company- amdrm.com we want to continue to build and grow our site with your input Thankx.; February 15, 2011 at 2:00 PM
Lauren said...: Lol, that was hilarious!

And the swastika was an important symbol in a few cultures long before Hitler decided to use it. In fact, he might have even chosen it for some of the meanings these cultures gave the symbol... evolution, stability, eternity, justice, luck, success... it all seems pretty much in line with his goals. He did mean well, in his own twisted way.

I'm not a historian by any means... but I study symbols as a bit of a hobby, and this is one that is misinterpreted very often.; February 15, 2011 at 3:30 PM
Godwin's Craft Palace said...: Christian Marie: it was on Regretsy, and it was created to snark at a listing for a pair of moccasins that had beaded swastikas on them (the swastika also being a Native American symbol, prior to it being a Nazi symbol).

It wasn't created specifically to mock the current Etsy bullshit or the grumpy haters. It was an item-specific joke that also peripherally pokes fun at Etsy's lame corporate culture.

Brilliant, actually.; February 15, 2011 at 3:58 PM
Night Sky Jewelry said...: Every time I watch this, I laugh harder than I did the time before. Absolutely brilliant!!; February 15, 2011 at 4:02 PM
KarmaRox said...: This made my day, my month, my year! Competely brilliant! And the Oscar goes to....; February 15, 2011 at 6:19 PM
Unknown said...: very funny..love loved it! Thanks for posting that. Many of us need a good laugh lately.; February 15, 2011 at 10:26 PM
The Lucky B said...: I just pissed in my pants. Haven't laughed like that in a long time.
Thanks!; February 15, 2011 at 10:54 PM
Lad Named Felix said...: I love when commenters get all righteously indignant.; February 16, 2011 at 2:21 PM
Libby said...: Lauren, Hitler did not mean well. He did have a strange and twisted mystical idea of a pure Teutonic race, which meant other races, ethnic groups, religions and cultures were either to be annihilated or to be used as slaves. You'd know that if you were Jewish, which I am. The Rom (Gypsies) didn't fare very well, either.

However, the Hitler parodies are hilarious. I laughed...but this was not the funniest by far.

Stifler's Mom said...: At the word "Dude" I spit diet Coke all over my keyboard!; February 16, 2011 at 7:35 PM
oregano chimp said...: 'Dude' was out of character. It kindof ruined it for me.; February 17, 2011 at 11:59 AM

About this Bitchy Blog

EtsyBitch is a communal blog of likeminded Etsians who are tired of the demeaning treatment, abuse, and general mismanagement of the Etsy.com site. We want Etsy to improve so we bitch to call attention to the unfairness and general stupidity of its admin and the unprofessional way they treat their sellers.

We're bitching because we care, dammit. That's right. It's snark for a cause. Crabbing for progress. Whining to make the handcrafted world a better place.

We don't hate Etsy. Unless you're DanielleXO, in which case you can go to hell. Thank you.

(If you want more info read our first post or maybe our Manifesto)
