View story Man Beheads Wax Hitler 3 / 0 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30701449/ Submitted by mmenchel 5 months, 3 weeks, 5 days, 12 hours ago A man was fined $1,227 for knocking off the head of a wax Hitler figure in Germany the other day. Although art glorifying Hitler has been banned, the old taboos are starting to wear off. The artist (Madame Tussauds) justified her work by saying museum avoided politics, arguing Hitler stood for a significant part of German history and his waxwork therefore had a legitimate part in the exhibition.
