Adolf Hitler Toilet Paper Creates Furor Against German Artist Georg Buchrucker

A cheeky German artist is rolling in controversy after creating toilet paper featuring Adolf Hitler's face -- without the trademark mustache.

Georg Buchrucker, 32, created what he calls the "Draw Your Own Sh**ler" as a satirical statement against the evil dictator.

Folks who pay $4.70 for each roll at his website are invited to add their own "brown mustache" right on der Fuhrer's face.

"My toilet paper is not just practical, it is making a point with humor," he told Metro.co.uk. "Which mustache-wearing man in history would deserve this treatment more than Hitler?"

Buchrucker, who heils, er, hails from Bonn, Germany, says he's getting orders for the Hitler heiney wipes from as far away as America and Australia, but is surprised by the furor that he's created.

"I'm just really pleased that my idea was so popular but I wish some people who are attacking me would loosen up a bit," he told AllVoices.com.

Whether or not Buchrucker is guilty of crappy art is a matter of opinion, but -- and this is a big but -- many Germans are known to be a bit openly obsessed with poop.

For instance, earlier this year, a group of German linguists chose "shitstorm" as the "Anglicism of the Year."

Other excrement examples cited by blogger Carmel Lobello of Death and Taxes include a popular folk character called "Der Dukatenscheisser," aka "The Money Shitter," who is commonly depicted pooping coins from his rear end, and folk sayings like, "As the fish lives in water, so does the shit stick to the asshole."

And that slams the lid on this story.

Maybe we can use this toilet paper in the prison camps that our government has ready for martial law to be implaced. Think they could provide humor there?

I hope this website isn't like foxnews.com where you can't say M U S L I M. Great job guys we must not offend Al Queda and Obama. Yeah that's right both MUSLIMS!

Please tell Judy Miller that when she is asked a question; to please answer the question, then jibber-jabber all she wants. Then, no one will listen. Maybe she will quit.

Did they have to show the post-wipe photo? This is a culture which leaves nothing to the imagination.

I agree that was unnecessary! I hate the way they seem to love to show people throwing up these days in movies and especially on TV. Now that that has become an everyday thing; it makes you wonder. What's next? What bodily function will they try to shock/disgust us with?

I was about to eat my Subway sandwich when I heard the sound of vomit coming from a TV above the table. It was a Jim Carrey movie, and I complained harshly, and the staff turned it off. UGH! Restaurant owners, get a clue! * * WE DON'T WANT THE TV ON WHEN WE EAT!! * *

Do ya really think that "stain" is truely part of a brown boxcar? I'd put it in my bathrooms as long as Hitler has had a very close shave. I think the 5 o'clock shadow would hurt and possibly draw blood from any hemorrhoids you may be sporting.

I don't know what the fuss is about. I'm Jewish and I think its a great idea. People have been urinating against the laminated photos of hated despots, politicians, and celebrities for decades. Why not wipe with one too?

Nice little pun in the headline but shouldn't it say paper with Hitler face draws fuhrer? ark, ark, ark.

Clever; but the longer I live, the more I understand the Jews position on this. There is absolutely nothing funny about anything that anything to do with the NAZI's. Would it kill us to focus our humor on other things; and recognize the solemnity that should be practiced with this subject. I doubt if any of use had been with those first troops going into those camps, that we could make jokes about it. It's the curse of time and distance. We lose perspective.
