Achtung! Chula students celebrate graduation with Hitler

[Karee 4,190]

Hot on the heels of Bangkok's Hitler Fried Chicken comes Hitler Chulalongkorn University.

Students at the Thai school have erected a massive graduation mural in the middle of their campus that inexplicably features an image of the German dictator heiling.

The banner was first hung up two days ago, according to our tipster who would only identify himself as, "a concerned and incredulous American student studying the language and culture of Thailand."

Coconuts readers might ask - why would students at Thailand's most prestigious academic institution create such a mural? Good question.

The answer is probably embedded on the mural itself. Accompanying the Führer are superheroes like the Hulk, Superman, Captain America, Batman and Ironman. Our hunch is a hapless scholar Googled the term 'superman' and somehow confused it with Nietzsche's concept of Übermensch of which Hitler was a well-known fan.

Or perhaps we're giving the kids too much credit. There's only so much that can be blamed on lost in translation and this kind of stupid requires a level of ignorance that is difficult to fathom.

Either way it's a sure sign that Chula needs to have their students read some F*cking history books.

I saw an article that indicated the young people of Thailand for some reason have found this Hitler connection is fun or even funny. I am ashamed of those people myself.

Its hard to believe they are so ignorant of the facts behind what Hitler did to his own country; the people around the world and sadly to the Jews. For our young to ignore the deaths of so many is horrible. There are other things they could find to keep them interested or have fun with I am sure.

The idea of the chicken place shows how stupid some people can be. I hope Yum company sues their axx.

The images above probably say it all. Whoever did this mural couldn't have passed their art classes. The rubber duck is probably a self portrait.

Hopefully the new condoms will fit over their heads and finish the job by either stopping their breathing or slow the birth rates.

Yeah I have no idea what that is all about. Some stupid fad I assume.

Yes that's what I read. This is the worst thing I have seen in many years. Asian kids love to imitate things they see on T V or in the movies but this isn't anything like that. Somehow this got a rise out of people so they are expanding the effort I think.

I hope someone there begins to condemn them and teaches them about what took place even though it was long ago. That doesn't diminish the damage done by the acts against humanity by one group of people led by a total wack job. Even the mustache is lame. However the haircut is one I have seen on Thai men for years.

Complete ignorance from that young person. Wow!

The university has removed the students mural.
