• Thats not actually the German Swastika - its the wrong way round - the one in the picture is reversed. But it still hits a nerve.

  How naive and/or ignorant would you have to be to find the Nazi imagery in this poster “accidental?” As for all the “it's a buddhist symbol” people I'd also like to point out that the Schutzstaffel Totenkopf logo above is actually representative of a Mesopotamian Peace Goddess and it means “Love.”

  This is obviously wasn't an accident. As well, the shape was changed (by the Nazis) from the Buddhist symbol, its was flipped along an axis and rotated 45 degrees. I suppose you could read that here: http://en.wikipedia.org/ Idiots (either you are not being clear, or you are wrong): Eliot Glazer Peter Gollands Aaron C.

• This isn't all that weird in Japan. In fact… nothing's all that weird in Japan.

• Nothing about that was accidental. The two lightning bolts are an Aryan nation symbol. Also there's a blatant swastika in the eagle winged Nazi emblem at the bottom. There is no possible way all that was an accident.

• Aaron and Nick, you're kidding right?  I'm sure you seem culturally savvy with your “it was a buddist symbol before it was a nazi symbol”, but in this context - the Luftwaffe sign, the “SS” logo and the German lettering points otherwise.  Plus, Nazi imagery in manga is fairly common in Japan. And damn, some of those Japanese girls look taboo hot in them (see the pics I posted below).

  The whole taboo of Nazi imagery doesnt exist in Japan. It is deliberate. Heck, there's even SS themed bars there.

• This isn't all that weird for Japan, since they use a lot of German imagery and references, at least in manga and anime and videogames.

• Nick, are you kidding me? Red, white and black… a swastika… an iron cross… it even says “SS” for some reason. Yeah right, this wasn't deliberate at all…

• Obviously not much of an accident - notice the other WWII / Luftwaffe imagery. A Japanese graphic designer would have no chance of being ignorant of the symbolism here.

• Japan was teamed up with the Nazis, remember? Maybe this is just nostalgia?
