comment: "Unfortunately your Zazzle product was removed because it contained an image/design text in violation of our user agreement. Images/text depicting or referencing Adolph Hitler, Nazi Germany and other Nazi related items are prohibited."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And this was my reply: "You do realize that my book &lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hitler the Cat Goes West&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; is a satire, right?? In it I deliberately satirize virtually every social and political institution imaginable -- and some that aren't! Rememvber the First Amendment?? You should read it! [both -- my book and the Amendment]"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So...in the spirit of being "Zazzled" here's the key production number from Mel Brooks' &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;The Producers &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;-- "Springtime for Hitler."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="445" height="364"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/K08akOt2kuo&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;border=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/K08akOt2kuo&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8542780451719860392-9004714572245377278?l=hitlerthecat.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hitlerthecat.blogspot.com/feeds/9004714572245377278/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8542780451719860392&amp;postID=9004714572245377278' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8542780451719860392/posts/default/9004714572245377278'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8542780451719860392/posts/default/9004714572245377278'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hitlerthecat.blogspot.com/2009/09/ive-been-zazzled.html' title='I&apos;ve Been ZAZZLED!'/><author><name>Bob Pielke</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18192584650793363010</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Q503cgPDt3w/SpkyShGvOfI/AAAAAAAAANc/p14pRKxpPAw/S220/004.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542780451719860392.post-1747209258632062662</id><published>2008-11-07T06:58:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-07T07:15:40.228-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='political satire'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bob pielke'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hitler the cat goes west'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='alternate history'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='satire'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sex drugs rock and roll'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='science fiction'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hitler the cat'/><title type='text'>Hitler the Cat Goes West</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;It's not about Hitler, Cats or Travel!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's A Socio-Political Satire of the Near Future. Someone said, if Kurt Vonnegut, Ambrose Bierce and Charles Bukowski had a baby (don't ask me how) they'd call it "Hitler the Cat Goes West"! "Hitler the Cat Goes West," has been likened to a more sardonic Kurt Vonnegut than Vonnegut.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a personal review written by Dean Vivian Sinou [Foothill College, Los Altos Hills, California] she states: "I rarely read books during the academic year anymore...You sparked my curiosity, and I found reading a bit of your book in the evenings a nice escape from the computer. It was a refreshing, much needed change in my hectic schedule. Of course, it helped that the book kept me engaged. It's so preposterous and believable at the same time. I love how you portray the masses - sheep! The whole hotel section - 25 pages or so - were my favorite."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another reviewer wrote: "HTCGW made me think, laugh, shudder, and kept me entertained. I was unable to put the book down. I had to finish it."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8542780451719860392-1747209258632062662?l=hitlerthecat.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hitlerthecat.blogspot.com/feeds/1747209258632062662/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8542780451719860392&amp;postID=1747209258632062662' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8542780451719860392/posts/default/1747209258632062662'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8542780451719860392/posts/default/1747209258632062662'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hitlerthecat.blogspot.com/2008/11/hitler-cat-goes-west.html' title='Hitler the Cat Goes West'/><author><name>Bob Pielke</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18192584650793363010</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Q503cgPDt3w/SpkyShGvOfI/AAAAAAAAANc/p14pRKxpPAw/S220/004.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
