Long before Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany, the Pickaway County Hitlers were well-known farmers in Circleville and have three roads named after them.

Ohhh, the *well known* Hitlers had a road named after them, not that whatsamathingie guy from Europe during the war.

Just take out one "r". You'd either have Hitle Road or Hitler Oad.

Judging from the way his name is misused around here, it seems many Farkers don't really know who he is either...

Vowing that the name change would not require a great deal of relearning, the town settles on Himmler Road.

Officially, this thread has not invoked Godwin yet because it doesn't specifically bring up the Nazi's.

"The Pickaway County Hitlers".

That sounds like a really mean sports team.

Care to enlighten me Nerdlinger?

The people who want to change the name of this road are just like people who want to ban books and imprison political radicals, who are just like Adolf Hitler.

Your post got a song stuck in my head.

Hitle Road jack,
and don't you come back
No more no more no more no more!
Hitle Road, Jack!
and don't you come back
no more!
What'd you say???

Anyone see The Daily Show piece that compared dissenting political opinions to Hitler or Nazis? I was disappointed there was no Godwin mention.

Damn you Jon Stewart for getting my hopes up!

This is as stupid as people complaining and having the "slave" and "master" disk drive specifications changed on PCs, because they assume it has African-American slavery connotations.

Okay, I can accept the Fark filter changing one s-word to another, but to change a capital "s" to a lower case one? That's just sloppy.

Hitler Road? Oh that's easy. Head down Auschwitz Avenue, take a right at Birkenau Boulevard, then a quick left at Treblinka Terrace. Can't miss it!
