    Forget it - must be a kind of joke. Hitler was someone who was somehow asexual and everything else than a sexy man. Shampoo and he is a crazy combination. See also: http://www.myvideo.de/watch/56728/Wa..._meinem_Bonker

    based on historical facts.
    The Turks lost their Ottoman Empire on around 1917 because of their cooperation with Germany, and based again on history which repeats itself... they have much to lose credibility included.

    World War 1 was lost for Germany and Austria because the USA decided to take part in this war. I never found out why the USA did this really. One result was it that Germany, Austria and the Ottoman empire lost this war together.

    And what was the question or comment for your answer? I just simple said that I think this video is a joke.

    Turkey Hitler shampoo advert withdrawn

    A Turkish TV advert for men's shampoo, featuring Adolf Hitler, has been withdrawn following complaints from the country's Jewish community.

    The 12-second advert shows footage of Hitler with a dubbed voice shouting that men should not use women's shampoo if they do not wear women's clothes.

    Turkey's Jewish community threatened legal action over the "unacceptable" use of Hitler to promote the product.

    The advertising firm behind the campaign said it was "misinterpreted".

    On Monday, the office of the chief Rabbi in Istanbul demanded a public apology from the company "to repair the damage this commercial has caused to society's conscience".

    The US-based Anti-Defamation League said it was "repulsed", calling it "a disgusting and deplorable marketing ploy", Agence France Press reports.

    The Istanbul-based advertising firm, Marka, and the company that produces the product, Biota Laboratories, both confirmed that, after just ten days on air, the decision had been taken to withdraw the advert for Biomen shampoo.

    "The Jewish community seemed more upset than they were supposed to be," Beril Mardin, account director with the Istanbul-based advertising firm Marka told the BBC.

    "Hitler is being made fun of to the utmost degree by making him star in a shampoo commercial," she said.

    "It is indeed most upsetting, and also surprising, that people in Turkey and around the world mistook this commercial and interpreted it very, very wrongly, as if Hitler is being portrayed as the epitome of manhood, or as if the commercial is trying to justify him or his ideology."

    Around 20,000 Jews live in Turkey, mainly Istanbul, a city of some 14 million Muslims.

    Most are descendants of Sephardim who escaped the Spanish Inquisition and found refuge in the Ottoman Empire some 500 years ago.

    So what? Turkish people are bad because of a shampoo that noone ever heard of? Internet doesn't bother me, you can find everything on net. I urge you to find me the commercial in Turkish TVs as you say so, specifically in Show TV, Star TV, Kanal D, ATV or TRT.

    Just because of advert of a private company on TV you will judge and sentence whole population of a country. is this a joke for gods sake ?

    Alan how do you know that the guy who directed this advert is Turk ? Did you search for it or just trusted your 6th sense ? Maybe he's a Kurd like mate after all Turkey is full of Kurds as you know. And who pays the money airs his program on TV.

    Seriously if you want to know the opinion of Turkish nation about Jews and other minorities this article would be a good starting point.

    Even though we had dispute on humanitarian aid to Gazza in the last years Turkish nation still have sympathy to Jews. This year one of our Jewish citizen will represent us in Eurovision.

    "Hitler" - more concrete: the imaginations lots of people have about him - would be good to sell bombs or weapons or fanatic ideas or something like this - why shampoo? No - I'm still sure it's a kind of strange joke.

    Erdoğans party is very often accused of being pro Jewish there are books published claiming that he has Jewish ancestors with David star on Erdoßans head on the cover how can government do that under this circumstances ?

    And after all why would government ban an advert in free market economy ? Government which governs least governs best. Nosy policies always cause more problem.
